I <a href="https://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/powered-by-kubernetes">mentioned before</a> that I rolled my own Kubernetes cluster via Ansible and Kubeadm. Now I can delete all those config files and that&#39;s a good thing. Plus, the price is right; I can get by with one $10/month node (1 CPU / 2 GB memory) and a $10/month load balancer.</p> <p><div style="margin:1em 0 1em 0;text-align:center;width:100%;"><img src="https://rollerweblogger.org/roller/mediaresource/a352bcf3-b7d9-4f2d-821d-a3ae42e0b06c" width="80%" halign="middle"></div></p> <p>To get this site up and running I had to deploy four things to my cluster. I installed the <a href="https://www.nginx.com/products/nginx/kubernetes-ingress-controller/">NGINX Ingress Controller</a>, <a href="https://cert-manager.readthedocs.io/en/latest/">Cert-Manager</a> for automatic creation of Let&#39;s Encrypt TLS certs, <a href="https://www.postgresql.org">PostgreSQL</a> and my custom build of <a href="https://roller.apache.org">Apache Roller</a>. All of that went pretty smoothly and I didn&#39;t run into and problems that I could blame on Digital Ocean. </p>
