hcloud-cloud-controller-manager VS Caddy

When it comes to load balancing, I think the hcloud-cloud-controller-manager[1] is probably your best bet, and although I haven't tested it, I'm sure it can be coerced into some kind of working configuration with the vSwitch/Cloud Network coupling, even none of cluster is actually Cloud-based.

I haven't used Sidero Omni yet, but if it's as well architected as Talos is, I'm sure it's an excellent solution. It still leaves open the question of ordering and provisioning the servers themselves. For simpler use-cases it wouldn't be too difficult to hack together a script to interact with the Hetzner Robot API to achieve this goal, but if I wanted any level of robustness, and if you'll excuse the shameless plug, I think I'd write a custom operator in Rust using my hrobot-rs[2] library :)

Did you actually use the Hetzner LBs or did you just send traffic to the NodePort?

It's not even close to major public cloud providers, but this is my setup:

* https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzne... (Terraform, Kubernetes bootstrap)

* Flux for CI

* nginx-ingress + Hetzner Loadbalancer (thanks to https://github.com/hetznercloud/hcloud-cloud-controller-mana...)

* Hetzner storage volumes (thanks to https://github.com/hetznercloud/csi-driver)

Kube-Hetzner supports Hetzner Cloud loadbalancers and volumes out of the box, though it also supports other components.

I plan to do the same or have already implemented it. I use the Hetzner private networks with the hcloud-cloud-controller-manager https://github.com/hetznercloud/hcloud-cloud-controller-manager. This creates routes so that the nodes are also connected to each other in the private network. All kubernetes resources listen on the private network. Except for the Kubernetes API, which listens on the external IP of the master so I can use kubectl from home. The actual gateway into the cluster is controlled by a load balancer from Hetzner.

I want to use Hetzner's Load Balancer as a Nginx Ingress controller. I follow this suggestion to install Nginx Ingress via helm.

These projects use Caddy as my local development server, Dart Sass for converting my Sass files to CSS, elm, elm-format, elm-optimize-level-2, elm-review, elm-test (only in Calculator), ShellCheck to find bugs in my shell scripts, and Terser to mangle and compress JavaScript code.

No, look at the associated unit test: https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/blob/c6eb186064091c79f4...

If that test fails we could serve PHP source code instead of having it be evaluated, a major security flaw.

However, it's very unlikely that .NET developers will directly expose their Kestrel-based web apps to the internet. Typically, we use other popular web servers like Nginx, Traefik, and Caddy to act as a reverse-proxy in front of Kestrel for various reasons:

I think that recompiling with upgraded Go will not solve the issue. It seems Caddy imports `golang.org/x/net/http2` and pins it to v0.22.0 which is vulnerable: https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/issues/6219#issuecommen....

Caddy [1] is a single binary. It is not minimal, but the size difference is barely noticeable.

serve also comes to mind. If you have node installed, `npx serve .` does exactly that.

There are a few go projects that fit your description, none of them very popular, probably because they end up being a 20-line wrapper around http frameworks just like this one.

Each app’s front end is built with Qwik and uses Tailwind for styling. The server-side is powered by Qwik City (Qwik’s official meta-framework) and runs on Node.js hosted on a shared Linode VPS. The apps also use PM2 for process management and Caddy as a reverse proxy and SSL provisioner. The data is stored in a PostgreSQL database that also runs on a shared Linode VPS. The apps interact with the database using Drizzle, an Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) for JavaScript. The entire infrastructure for both apps is managed with Terraform using the Terraform Linode provider, which was new to me, but made provisioning and destroying infrastructure really fast and easy (once I learned how it all worked).

So I dug a little deeper and came across this gem: Caddy. Caddy is this fantastic, extensible, cross-platform, open-source web server that's written in Go. The best part? It comes with automatic HTTPS. It basically condenses all the work our scripts and manual maintenance were doing into just 4-5 lines of config. So, stick around and I'll walk you through how to set up an automatic SSL solution with Caddy, Docker and a Node.js server.

Let's use Caddy which can act as reverse-proxy with automatic HTTPS coverage.

Even if it may be simple, it doesn't handle edge cases such as https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/issues/1632

I personally would make the trade off of taking on more complexity so that I can have extra compatibility.

One of the most heavily used Russian software projects on the internet https://www.nginx.com/blog/do-svidaniya-igor-thank-you-for-n... but it's only marginally more modern than Apache httpd.

In light of recently announced nginx memory-safety vulnerabilities I'd suggest migrating to Caddy https://caddyserver.com/
