Started off today with a long walk outdoors with my youngest and then I was going to dig into the boring work of lifting and shifting my personal Kubernetes cluster over to a new one so I could upgrade FluxCD. There are almost zero docs on how to do an in-place upgrade.

Oh a whim I Googled around again and came across an old Github issue that mentioned you should be able to just re-run the flux bootstrap .... command with all of the original arguments you used and it will do a perfect in place upgrade.

This is going to save me a couple of hours today and AGAIN next week as I need to do this for a customer as well! I'm going to use that time to write up the blog post since if I can't find the answer easily, neither can you!

Figured I was prepared to rebuild everything today anyway so what could it hurt. Magically it took me all of 3 minutes to upgrade from an older weird beta release to the latest stable and seems to be working perfectly.

As promised here is the blog post on how to upgrade FluxCD in place https://www.revsys.com/tidbits/how-to-upgrade-fluxcd/

Is it me or is the documentation for project templates uncharacteristically bad?

Like, I have so many questions about how this templating works. Do I get to template filenames? How? Can I include the template as a subdirectory in a repository, or do I need to have it hosted in its own? How about providing one as part of a wheel?

I would love to build a project template into NomNom, so that later worldcons can just “django-admin startapp --template nomnom:basic_template" or something.

@offby1 @ghickman yeah it's honestly not used a ton in practice (based on what I've seen) probably because of the docs and and possibly because of the existence of things like cookiecutter
