Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Replicating and Load Balancing Go Applications in Docker Containers with Consul and Fabio
After some research and testing, I landed on using Consul and Fabio as the demo infrastructure. Of course, there is a myriad of other options to accomplish this task, but because of the low configuration and ease of use, I was impressed with this pairing. Both projects are mature and well-supported, and very flexible--just because you can run them with low configuration, doesn't mean you have to. I wanted to keep this demo constrained, but the exercise did get me excited about exploring things further: circuit breakers, traffic splitting, and more complex service meshes.

Why TLS is better without STARTTLS (2021)
Sniffing the SNI from the underlying TCP connection is the proper way to do this.
a couple examples I know of(only know go ones of the top of my head):

- Deploy without interrupting clients is hard.

HashiCorp Consul: What's the catch?
HAProxy, Traefik, FabioLB, gobetween, and F5 BIG-IP also support native integrations with Consul for service discovery / service mesh.

My favorite hosting stack: Consul, Nomad and Vault on Digital Ocean
Check out https://github.com/fabiolb/fabio instead of traefik, it's 100x simpler and "just works". Traefik... I don't like traefik. Fabio is as simpler than traefik in the same way that the hashistack is simpler than k8s.

internal naming conventionds
I use Hashicorp Consul and Hashicorp Nomad for service discovery and task scheduling respectively, with wesher for my internal private management network that Consul, Nomad, etc run on to protect the management interfaces. Fabio bridges the gap between the wesher wireguard VPN and the rest of my home network.

Using Traefik on Nomad
How do you feel about using Fabio (https://github.com/fabiolb/fabio) - in addition to/or replacement for traefik?

Linux fu: getting started with systemd
For self-hosting I've found https://k3s.io to be really good from the SUSE people. Works on basically any Linux distro and makes self-hosting k8s not miserable.

Nix is a better Docker image builder than Docker's image builder
Yes it’s going to depend on which k8s distribution you’re using. We have work in-progress for k3s to natively support nix-snapshotter: https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s/pull/9319
For other distributions, nix-snapshotter works with official containerd releases so it’s just a matter of toml configuration and a systemd unit for nix-snapshotter.
We run Kubernetes outside of NixOS, but yes the NixOS modules provided by the nix-snapshotter certainly make it simple.

K3s Traefik Ingress - configured for your homelab!
I recently purchased a used Lenovo M900 Think Centre (i7 with 32GB RAM) from eBay to expand my mini-homelab, which was just a single Synology DS218+ plugged into my ISP's router (yuck!). Since I've been spending a big chunk of time at work playing around with Kubernetes, I figured that I'd put my skills to the test and run a k3s node on the new server. While I was familiar with k3s before starting this project, I'd never actually run it before, opting for tools like kind (and minikube before that) to run small test clusters for my local development work.

Building a no-code Helm UI with Windmill - Part 1
I’ve created a local cluster with K3S and installing Windmill could not be simpler with just one chart to configure, which already has sane defaults to get started. For this demo we will also configure workers to passthrough environment variables to our scripts so that they have access to the Kubernetes API server for later.
