Building a Single Node OpenShift Home Lab - Agent Based Install
Greetings! Welcome to another episode of OpenShift Outdoors.
This site is dedicated to sharing the work that I do in my home lab. I am a huge fan of cloud native application delivery on Kubernetes based platforms. I specifically focus on OpenShift Container Platform, and its subscription free (community supported) sibling, OKD.
I have recently changed the format of this blog to be video centric. Future posts will include “follow along” instructions that accompany a video explaining the exercise.
Because technology has changed so much since I started this blog, a lot of the older posts and lab tutorials are less relevant. I am retaining them for reference, but no longer support some of the older hardware mentioned.
Building a Portable Kubernetes Home Lab with OpenShift - OKD4
The links in the left hand navigation, (or drop down menu on mobile), will take you to specific tutorials for building or adding capabilities to your home lab.
Greetings! Welcome to another episode of OpenShift Outdoors.
In this post, I am going to show you how to enable faster podman builds in Eclipse Che / OpenShift Dev Spaces by enabling support for /dev/fuse in your works...
Single Node OpenShift…
Think about this for a moment. If you were handed a brand new laptop tomorrow, how long would it take you to get it fully set up for application development...
In this post, we are going to tear down the single node cluster that we built last time and replace it with a three node cluster. The single node cluster is...
Happy 2023! I hope that your year is starting out on a positive trajectory. Yes, I realize that it’s already March… but, Happy New Year regardless.
Note: This is part three of a three part post. In this post we’ll create a Quarkus micro-service to store and retrieve data with Cassandra and Stargate.
Note: This is part two of a three part post. In this post we’ll use Postman to interact with the Cassandra instance that we created in the first post.
Note: This is part one of a three part post. In this post we’re going to set up a Cassandra persistence engine on OpenShift. We’ll be using Stargate as the...
Note: This is the third post in a series. While the code in this post stands alone, I am using some tooling introduced in earlier posts:
This is the second post in a series that I started to take you on a journey with me writing Quarkus applications with cloud native runtimes.
So… I have written a few applications over the course of my career in IT. But, I’ve never been a “real” Software Engineer. That is to say, I’ve never bee...
If you are going to be doing any micro-services development in your Kubernetes Home Lab, there are some useful tools that you are going to need. In this pos...
Well… I missed all of April. But I have not been idle.
So… It’s Pi day… I would be remiss if I did not give you a link to all of my Raspberry Pi pages…
I’ve mentioned a couple of times that this year I am starting a project to build a cloud native application that is deployed across multiple regions.
So… I planned this title a while back. How ironic that, as I sit here, we are expecting as much as a of foot of real snow…
Welcome to 2022…
Let’s ditch the hypervisor and put our lab right on the metal!
This is what it’s all about my friends! Deploying running code.
OK… So, a little over a month ago I showed you how to add the Tekton-OpenShift Pipelines Operator to your lab, and then promised to give you some code to de...
Today, I am going to show you how to install the OpenShift Pipelines operator in your disconnected cluster.
CodeReady Containers is the successor to MiniShift, which was itself derived from MiniKube. It’s purpose is to enable an OpenShift 4 based development enviro...
Every software delivery shop needs a source code management system. Git is the defacto standard these days for SCM, and there are a lot of server options ou...
In this week’s post, I am going to show you how to add the Rook Operator for Ceph Storage to your cluster.
