For sure, then you just have to worry about deploying apps. Seems a lot easier for testing.

I’m thinking about moving my single-user instance onto my lab from DO. Either that or moving to a managed Kubernetes cluster in the cloud (that is prohibitively expensive though)

Talos is a great OS! I just wish there was some way to get the IPs from DHCP via Proxmox so I could automate it with terraform.

jax,
@jax@lemmy.cloudhub.social avatar

That's true! Those do add up over time.

I'd love to go full cloud-native with a kubernetes cluster, but I can't justify the $100+ a month for a reasonable cluster :(

This sounds a lot like my old cluster config (I stepped away from the lab for a few months and forgot how it works, so started over lmao), but basically it would spin up a talos cluster on proxmox using terraform, and then bootstrap FluxCD and the rest of the software would be setup using that. It was a pretty slick system.

You might have to check those repos, I don’t know if the site has been updated.

Lemmy? Had to patch the docker config (pushed a patch to the main and docs repos already!)

Yeah, I've started just posting anything that seems interesting while trying not to flood the place. I'm pretty deep into the tech world so it's been mostly tech, but I'd highly recommend posting content that interests you and I'm sure it'll interest others.

If you're using a lemmy web interface (as opposed to an app), there is a cross-post button you can use to post in other communities that are tanginately related (if you decide to create a community for your topics).

Agreed, but I think all instances linked there are going to see high load over the next while. We shall see how the network stands up...

@jax@lemmy.cloudhub.social avatar

I love this for you - let me just make sure my instance is set to not allow sign-ups lol

Glad it's working for you!

Some people are reporting outbound networking issues/DNS resolution in the lemmy matrix chat, I wonder if you're hitting the same thing. Do you see anything about DNS resolution errors in the logs when trying to search for other communities?

I mostly didn't touch that part, it seemed to be outside the scope of the article and suggesting a config for each person's exact setup isn't going to be possible.

This would be for putting in front of the nginx proxy built into the compose file. In theory you could do SSL offloading here or whatever you want, as long as you don't change the headers needed by the nginx.conf file further up the page.

I think both of the ones I mentioned have docker-compose files, which I think I can convert with kompose convert? I guess from there I would follow your steps and then start parameterizing it once it’s running properly.

Thanks! I think I’ll start trying out PixelFed tomorrow.

Yeah, that’s the pain point - building and maintaining the charts.

Also, I know the charts likely wouldn’t have to be super complex, but I’m used to working with Bitnami’s charts that are massively complex - I just don’t have the time to go that in-depth.

jax,
@jax@lemmy.cloudhub.social avatar

Oh, I know I could get them to run with enough work. I just don’t have that much time to spend on initial implementation and upkeep of the charts.

I’m using FluxCD, which I believe can do deployments of plain Kubernetes manifests, but that still requires a decent amount of overhead to keep up to date.

jax,
@jax@lemmy.cloudhub.social avatar

That’s actually super helpful! I haven’t done much custom Helm chart-ing, and was kinda lost where to start. That really helps break the process down, and the tip about skipping state to start is very wise.

jax,
@jax@lemmy.cloudhub.social avatar

I’ve seen that around, but I prefer to run my own services instead of relying on a ready-built system like that. I find they don’t offer that much customization options usually.

I can’t do latte art, I call mine “the blob” or “polarbear in a snowstorm” lol

jax,

I think I’m going to end up using docker-mailserver for this.

@jax@lemmy.cloudhub.social avatar

That seems really resource heavy. 4 Gb of RAM for an SMTP relay?

Other than that it looks pretty great.

This is an awesome guide on how to install Lemmy on Docker!
