  • ZFS 2.2.0 (RC): Block Cloning merged
    14 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 4 Jul 2023
    I use it in Kubernetes via https://github.com/openebs/zfs-localpv

    The PersistentVolume API is a nice way to divvy up a shared resource across different teams, and using ZFS for that gives us the snapshotting, deduplication, and compression for free. For our workloads, it benchmarked faster than XFS so it was a no-brainer.

  • OpenEBS on MicroK8S on Hetzner
    2 projects | dev.to | 13 Sep 2022
    Last few months I experimented more and more with all OpenEBS solutions that fit small Kubernetes cluster, using MicroK8S and Hetzner Cloud for a real experience.
  • Openebs ?? Or equivalent

  • Network Storage on On-Prem Barebones Machine
    4 projects | /r/kubernetes | 27 Jun 2022
    I would investigate https://openebs.io/ https://portworx.com/ https://longhorn.io/ if you are forced to you can mount ISCSI on the kublet and feed it to one of those solutions. Keep in mind most of the big guys buy some sort of managed solution that you can point a CSI like trident https://netapp-trident.readthedocs.io
  • Ask HN: What are some fun projects to run on a home K8s cluster?
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 25 Mar 2022
    What are some cool projects to self hosted on a home Raspberry Pi (64 bit) Kubernetes cluster (Helm charts). arm64 support is a must. A lot of projects only build amd64 Docker containers which don't run on my cluster.

    I currently run:

       - obenebs (provides abstraction for using local k8s worker disks as PVC mounts when running on-prem) -- https://openebs.io/
  • Finally got around to doing that Ceph on ZFS experiment
    1 project | /r/zfs | 24 Jan 2022
    I didn't set anything actually -- I need to look into whether OpenEBS ZFS LocalPV can facilitate passing ZVOL options (I don't think it can just yet). The only tuning I did on the storage class was the usual ZFS-level options.
  • My self-hosting infrastructure, fully automated
    12 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 21 Jan 2022
    What do you use to provision Kubernetes persistent volumes on bare metal? I’m looking at open-ebs (https://openebs.io/).

    Also, when you bump the image tag in a git commit for a given helm chart, how does that get deployed? Is it automatic, or do you manually run helm upgrade commands?

  • Jinja2 not formatting my text correctly. Any advice?

  • Building a "complete" cluster locally
    24 projects | /r/kubernetes | 31 Oct 2021
    Ideas from my kubernetes experience: * Cert-Manager is very popular and almost a must-have if you terminate SSL inside the cluster * Backups using velero * A dashboard/UI is actually very helpful to quickly browse resources, client tools like k9s are fine too * Secret: Management: Bitnami Sealed Secrets is the second big project in that space * I would add Loki to aggregate Logs * Never heard of ory. Usually I see (dex)[https://dexidp.io/] or keycloak used for Authentication * I like to run OpenEBS as in-cluster storage. * Istio isn't compatible with the upcomming ServiceMeshInterface (i think), so the trend seem to go toward Linkerd * Some Operator to deploy your favorite Database, is also a nice learning exercise.
