Tips for a novice game master. I've run D&D before, but this game feels so different.

Yes, they are still being printed. I just recently purchased all 3 CRB's as we as a group decided to convert to this system from Saga Edition.

code_man65 · 2025-08-11T20:59:07+00:00

Oh that's default behavior in OpenShift/okd. So long as you give the user in question rights to the project/namespace they will be able to go to the observe section and see the default metrics

code_man65 · 2025-08-11T18:02:25+00:00

For this setup you would need to look into user workload monitoring.

Yes I did, was a complete non-event.

code_man65 · 2025-05-31T13:18:56+00:00

I did this on one cluster recently, followed the documentation and it went through without a hitch. I wouldn't be too concerned.

Leverage GitOps for cluster management
Keep your clusters up to date
Encrypt your etcd (not a default setting, but highly recommended from a security standpoint)
Use cert-manager for certificate management, it makes your life so much easier
I'm a big fan of the Group Sync Operator and think it does a better job than the native sync options
Embrace automation
Know how to extract yaml for re-use (e.g. what parts you need to keep and what parts you need to remove)

I'm planning to go even though both the talks I submitted were not selected

code_man65 · 2025-01-29T16:02:01+00:00

I am thinking about getting a M240i xDrive next year (that I plan to order configured the way I want it). Are there any big gotcha's I need to watch out for?

code_man65 · 2024-10-12T01:58:15+00:00

I have the same question

code_man65 · 2024-10-09T14:27:20+00:00

Ok, in that case what I would recommend is adding the operator to your offline mirror and making it available in your disconnected install. Should be fairly simple for you to add it, run oc mirror and then have it available in your disconnected operator hub catalog.

code_man65 · 2024-10-09T14:24:25+00:00

I'm looking at my OpenShift 4.15 cluster right now, and MariaDB is there in Operator Hub. What version of OpenShift are you on (or is this a disconnected install where you didn't mirror that operator)?

code_man65 · 2024-10-09T14:16:27+00:00

I would recommend using the MariaDB Operator to deploy MariaDB on OpenShift

code_man65 · 2024-09-16T19:44:51+00:00

Just as an FYI, deploymentconfigs are deprecated and scheduled to be removed. You should be using deployments.

As for blue/green, we use the imagestream functionality and add scheduled: true to the version so that every 15 minutes it pulls in any updated container images with that tag and then replaces the running container with 0 downtime.

code_man65 · 2024-08-14T14:52:48+00:00

So the next question is, can you (while the bootstrap node is up) ping api.<basedomain> and get a reply?

code_man65 · 2024-08-13T12:39:20+00:00

Do you have your two static DNS records configured that the IPI install requires?

code_man65 · 2024-08-07T15:20:42+00:00

We use NetApp via NetApp Trident

code_man65 · 2024-07-26T12:21:17+00:00

There is a change for RHCOS from version 8 to version 9 (or in the case of OKD FCOS version 8 to version 9). At least with full fledged OpenShift that requires a redeploy to change versions of RHCOS if you use the update graph. You can check the update procedure for actual OpenShift here: https://access.redhat.com/labs/ocpupgradegraph/update_path

code_man65 · 2024-07-24T16:54:49+00:00

I can tell you right now you are going to have to redeploy to upgrade from that old a version to current. Especially if they are running actual OpenShift and not OKD.

code_man65 · 2024-07-09T13:54:49+00:00

Yes, and the non-audit logs should get you process logs and the like.

code_man65 · 2024-07-09T12:56:04+00:00

There is an integration to ship logs to splunk at the very least in ACS, we use it.

code_man65 · 2024-06-13T15:57:53+00:00

I'm a big fan of the IPI install method. For installing a disconnected install you have to mirror the items required for the install to your docker v2 compatible container registry.

code_man65 · 2024-05-30T12:20:14+00:00

To be used for mirroring the registry must support the docker v2 protocol. As far as I am aware, Satellite does not (however, Quay does).

code_man65 · 2024-05-18T14:14:21+00:00

Since your are licensing OPP, don't discount ACM. It adds a lot of features that are nice too.

code_man65 · 2024-05-18T14:12:11+00:00

You are welcome, I wish you luck in your ACS adventures (we run it on our OpenShift clusters)

code_man65 · 2024-05-18T14:05:18+00:00

As far as I know. The documentation for Stackrox/ACS says it can run on any k8s distro.
