1. Dont pi for me

    [To the tune from Evita, Don't cry for me, Argentina]

    So, when the Pi first started to be in tight supply, I thought being a bit patient would help. Then, Jeff Geerling posted that the shortage was dire, and had a link to a website with a Raspberry Pi tracker …

  2. Getting into a flow

    I think I'm into a flow with content creation. It's definately different than teaching, where you get live feedback when facing a class. But teaching is one and done, where video recordings allow you to see, critique and want to re-do things. Don't get me wrong, reflection is important and …

  3. Day two and beyond

    I've actually recorded and started uploading 5 days of Kubernetes content now, and I have some feedback. First, process stuff.

  4. Learning a bit more about docker

    I've been using Docker a lot more recently, in order to figure out exactly what is going on. Using some dockerfiles as templates, I've actually built a few Docker images. Early on in this process I knew less about what I was doing, and had to figure out how to …

  5. Trying a single node

    I've already foreshadowed a bit of this post in my previous, when I mentioned trouble when not starting a second node. So, I tried to only start one node, and while the k8s side is fine with running on a single node, the pods that were on the not-restarted worker …

  6. Discovering some package quirks

    So, earlier I mentioned that I'd run into some backup weirdness. Well, I think that Kubernetes doesn't deal with resources vapourizing between starts. It seems the control bits don't like when a node, in this case the worker one, isn't restarted. It tried to kill the pods, but since the …

    Or, So I thought.

    Always happy to be dis-abused of my preconceptions, of the 5 docker things I tried to get running, exactly ZERO worked out …

  9. Finding some kubernetes gaps

    As I've been fiddling with some various clusters that I am trying to get going, I've run into some areas where my understanding of Kubernetes needs some sharpening. I understand nodes and pods, I have ideas about services and deployments, and I get the basics of NodePort and ClusterIP. I've …

  10. Hitting the wall on videos

    So, I've been trying to watch at least one Anais video each day, and I've been good at doing that for the most part up until now. But I have focused on videos that are around ten minutes, and up to a bit more than fifteen minutes long. So I …
