Replying to @BillJelavich, @pletterpet, @fanf and @andrewtj don’t worry there seems plenty of opportunity to redo decades of provisioning ... but now through port 53 \(zonemd, catalog zones, etc\. etc\.\) Let’s do that first and then solve issues people other than dnsops care about Fri Feb 26 15:19:58 +0000 2021 Replying to @odintsov_pavel Yes!

DNS with K3s and systemk

In a DNS zone that I had laying around, I’ve come with the following scheme to have a working DNS with systemk. Note this does not deal with the control plane, those are routed via tailscale and I’m using IP addresses there. If naming is required here, it can be fitted in the scheme as well. Using example.org as the domain here. Scheme An m “subdomain” (it’s not delegated) holds all the names and IP address of the machines of interest.

Provisioning K3s and systemk

Due to a previous job I’m calling nodes, “machines”, also because this is about systemk, it’s more likely you are actually using a real machine. So I’ll keep on using “machines” in this post. First up: I needed an easy way to build packages of the software I’m using. For this I’ve setup a small CI using GitHub workflows that builds Debian packages for me: https://github.com/miekg/debian. (A Debian package repository would even be better, so I can more easily do upgrades).

Even though everything mandates TLS in k8s/k3s there is no good answer to updating/rotating/distributing them?? Mon Nov 30 13:14:59 +0000 2020 Replying to @bboreham looks too high level, i.e more focused on application getting certs not the lower level infra bits.

Kubernetes Control Plane for Debian?

The everything is a object in Kubernetes is a very nice abstraction. The ability to influence it with just kubectl makes for only one control plane (to learn). The networking, ingress, discovery, installation, etc. are all not that great. So I’m pondering marrying the things I love: have a plain Debian system, “normal” networking (no overlay/underlay/whatever), Debian packages, etc. And controlling it all via kubectl. This should include a sane installation and allow for rollbacks.

Replying to @sszuecs not starting is a pretty good way to get your attention? Log more - if read those... How about the metrics change we did in 1.7.0..? Tue Jun 30 07:08:45 +0000 2020 Replying to @sszuecs I think not start is one of the fews ways of doing this. The major downside of this is pushing new config and having coredns auto-reload. It will refuse to use the new config \(and keep running\).
