Often, especially with home lab setups, we will deploy a service that has no authentication of its own. If we want this service exposed to the internet, our options usually are to use HTTP Basic Auth or bring in a full fledged identity management suite, which is often inappropriate for […]

My Experiences with Backups
I have two main ways of storing data in my environment. First, there’s Longhorn, which stores the data locally on the workers which is then replicated and served across the network node-to-node communication.

Longhorn works by having nodes with storage provide that storage as iSCSI devices or Kubernetes volumes. It’s similar to CephFS in this way from what I can tell from research, but where […]
