Metallb

This guide explains how to deploy MetalLB, a load balancer for bare-metal Kubernetes clusters, and a sample application using Flux GitOps. The steps are based on a working example and provide instructions for configuration, deployment, and testing. Prerequisites Flux Installed: Ensure Flux is installed and running in your Kubernetes cluster. Git Repository: A Git repository structured for Flux GitOps, e.g., . <...> ├── clusters/ │ └── production/ │ ├── flux-system/ │ │ └── sources/ │ └── apps/ ├── infrastructure/ │ ├── networking/ │ │ └── metallb/ <...> Kubernetes Cluster: A bare-metal Kubernetes cluster with MetalLB-compatible networking. 1. Deploying MetalLB via Flux Step 1: Create the MetalLB Namespace Create a namespace for MetalLB in your Git repository: ...

This guide explains how to deploy a sample application using Flux GitOps. It demonstrates creating a simple NGINX application and testing it with MetalLB. Prerequisites MetalLB Installed: Ensure MetalLB is installed and configured in your Kubernetes cluster. Flux Installed: Ensure Flux is installed and running in your Kubernetes cluster. Git Repository: A Git repository structured for Flux GitOps, e.g., . ├── apps/ │ └── nginx-test/ │ └── base/ ├── clusters/ │ └── production/ │ ├── apps/ <...> 1. Deploy a Sample Application Step 1: Create the Application Manifest File: apps/nginx-test/base/nginx-test.yaml: ...

Overview Created a Syncthing pod in Kubernetes cluster managed by FluxCD with dual NFS mounts, SSL certificate via cert-manager, and consolidated LoadBalancer services. Architecture Namespace: syncthing Deployment: Single replica with Recreate strategy Storage: Two NFS persistent volumes SSL: Automatic Let’s Encrypt certificate via cert-manager Load Balancing: Combined TCP/UDP service on single external IP Storage Configuration NFS Mounts # Data mount (Dropbox sync) xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/mnt/media/dropbox → /var/syncthing/dropbox # Config mount (Syncthing configuration) xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/mnt/media/home/nfs/syncthing → /var/syncthing/config Persistent Volumes syncthing-dropbox-pv: 1Ti capacity for sync data syncthing-config-pv: 1Gi capacity for configuration Both use NFS storage class with ReadWriteMany access mode. ...
