  I’ve been running all my apps on my NAS as docker containers, but some get ‘stuck’ occasionally, requiring a reboot of the whole machine. Using the NAS was mostly out of convenience.

  I also had an old laptop running k3s, hosting a few stateless services.

  This week I picked up three Wyse 5070 devices and started setting up a more permanent Kubernetes cluster. I decided to use Talos Linux, which is a steep learning curve, but should hopefully reduce the amount of ongoing work for upgrades. I’ll be deploying everything with FluxCD this time around too.

  I’ve stumbled a bit with the synology-csi-driver. It didn’t work with Talos out of the box, but turns out the latest commits have a fix. The only thing remaining before I can start porting the apps over is figuring out how to spin up a new CA and generate client certificates for mTLS. I currently do that in Vault but it seems like something cert-manager could handle going forward.

  One thing I learned - brew a beer style you enjoy. I naively tried to brew a brown ale for my first two attempts, solely because it was recommended as one of the easier styles to tackle as a beginner. I wasn’t fond of either, and it put me off the hobby for a while. Then a couple of years later I brewed a clone of an IPA I knew and enjoyed and it stuck! I had a clear idea of what I wanted to improve the next time… and the next, and the next. If you do enjoy brown ales, then all the better!

  Keep chasing that dragon! 🍻
