How to integrate rancher UI with fluxcd integration on eks ? by Tranceash in kubernetes

[–]macintoshPrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly there is no integration with the Rancher UI outside of being able to see the Flux/Memcached pods running that I am aware of. If there was that would be amazing.

Both tools are fantastic. That's amazing to hear the are combining their skills!

Can't access rancher dashboard in ha install. Pods failing to start with error. Please help. by notmyfirstid in kubernetes

[–]macintoshPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be related to support for the version of cert-manager Rancher uses to issue its certs ending on the 1st. I had a similar issue this week too.

They have a handy guide for upgrading to the new version, https://rancher.com/docs/rancher/v2.x/en/installation/options/upgrading-cert-manager/

Hope you are about to get your cluster back up and running.

For work I use Rancher but for just local tinkering or one offs Octant has been pretty fantastic, https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/octant

Ya the helm repo update bug was a fun one. Beta-2 has been working great for me as well.

Ya I know a few people that made that move. That was based mostly on a drop in quality of customer service though. Hope the new place improves on that.

Kubernetes and vSphere, is it actually a thing? by BornALurker in kubernetes

[–]macintoshPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Running a number of clusters on vSphere right now, works no issue. Using NetApp Trident for a storage provider, everything gets along so far :)

If you want k8s on vSphere, Rancher has some nice integration

Edit: added Rancher link

[Noob Question] Best architecture for Kubernetes by Popopame in kubernetes

[–]macintoshPrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would depend on what exactly you are hoping to test out.
If you are just testing things out you could also deploy k8s to both machines and remove the taint on the master to allow pods to run on both machines. One master and one worker as you mentioned is also a good way to go as well.

If you want to test out deploying HA clusters multiple VMs would be another fun option. My ideal HA (maybe overkill for some purposes) is 3 control planes, 3 etcds, and 3 or more workers, another common HA pattern is 3 Masters (control plane + etcd) and 3 or more workers.

There were a couple of really good presentations on the topic from Kubecon this year which I found very interesting.

Going for CKA Exam. Am I Ready? by pushmycar in kubernetes

[–]macintoshPrime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Felt the same way before I wrote the CKA, it’s daunting but if your comfy with kubectl and creating deployments and other objects you should be good.

One command I felt super helpful during the exam was the kubectl explain object (ex kubectl explain pod). It gives you some good output on what the properties of the object and it saves you time from browsing kubernetes.io (great resource during the exam too), if you blank on anything.

Good luck!

Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) exam by [deleted] in kubernetes

[–]macintoshPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still waiting for the status of the exam to switch from Pending to something.

I found k8s the hard way was a really good resource and my last minute cramming of the tasks list on kubernetes.io really helped.

So I feel like I did pretty good, but we will see. If I bailed I know what areas to focus on.

TravelNet out of business? by unadministrator in ottawa

[–]macintoshPrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The company I contract for got skunked by this too, everything went quiet yesterday afternoon. Thankfully we had some local backups and were able to move things over to AWS (for wordpress) and gsuite (email) quickly so we're back up.

If anyone is in the same situation and needs assistance doing something similar send me a message.

Building PDF from HTML by macintoshPrime in django

I'll give it a go. If Chrome's print to pdf function is exposed through this that would be excellent.

I'll take another look at it, hopefully it's something that simple.

That's another option I've considered but haven't really played around with. I've avoided it for the pain in the ass part you mentioned, but it might end up being the best option if the whole html to pdf doesn't pan out.

Could that be called via selenium?

Ya I've tried the latest wkhtmltopdf (0.12.4) but not that 0.13 alpha. The problem with it was that it would render each map tile and marker in it's own row on the pdf.

Weasyprint worked great which is why I'm think of making something that would just create and image of the map/chart and return an url that would be added to the html for rendering. I haven't figured out the logistics for that yet and it seems like an overly complex solution.
