Comment on Question on SSL traffic between podman containers and clients (should I run k3s?)
MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 10 months agoThank you, this is an excellent idea. I will probably not run a pod for every container (technically I can, since Netavark is supported for rootless containers in Podman 4.0), but I will definitely have a few pods on my system, where I can definitely use a reverse-proxy for every pod. Just need to figure out how I can automate it.
Thanks again

Single node k3s is possible and can do what you’re asking but has some overhead (hence your acknowledgment of overkill). One thing i think it gets right and would help here is the reverse proxy service. It’s essentially a single entity with configuration of all of your endpoints in it. It’s managed programmatically so additions or changes are not needed to he done by hand. It sounds like you need a reverse proxy to terminate the TLS then ingress objects defined to route to individual containers/pods. If you try for multiple reverse proxies you will have a bad time managing all of that overhead. I strongly recommend going for a single reverse proxy setup unless you can automate the multiple proxies setup.
