I have used Dynamic DNS for many years and it has worked well for ensuring that my domain name or home network is accessible via the interweb, when my ISP chooses to update my IP address. I wanted to try and emulate the same behaviour within Kubernetes.
I want to use this post to describe how to deploy a website on your kubernetes cluster. Once more even though we could do this via the Dashboard I think it is better to learn Kubernetes via the CLI and it is also good practice to understand the YAML spec that is used extensively to configure Kubernetes deployments.
Last week I wrote a small blog on deploying a Kubernetes cluster on a cluster of old raspberry pi’s. This week I am going to deploy the Kubernetes Dashboard to the cluster to give us a GUI.
This is a follow up to my earlier post where I described how to install a stripped down Raspbian image on a set of 6 raspberry pi’s. In this post I want to describe what I finally ended up doing to get Kubernetes to run successfully on this cluster. So in the best traditions of TV cook shows, I will spare you the pain and the waiting and cut to what I ended up doing.
