The FASTEST way to deploy apps to Kubernetes

May 13, 2022May 13, 2022 Timothy StewartNo Comments

I think I found the perfect GitOps and DevOps toolkit with FluxCD and Kubernetes. Flux is an open source GitOps solution that helps your deploy app and infrastructure with automation. It can monitor git repositories, source control, image container repositories, helm repositories, and more. It can install apps using Kustomize, Helm, Kubernetes manifests so it’s designed to fit into your existing workflow. It can even push alerts to your chat system letting you know when deployments happen. In this tutorial we’ll cover all of this and more.

Creating your first Dockerfile, Image, and Container

February 26, 2022February 26, 2022 Timothy Stewart1 Comment

We spin up all types of containers on my channel in my tutorials, but we have yet to build our own custom Docker container image. Today we’ll start from scratch with an empty Dockerfile and create, build, and run our very own custom Docker image! We’ll learn all the commands that everyone should know when building and maintaining images with Docker. This tutorial is a great way to get started with Docker!

CrowdSec is a free, open-source and collaborative IPS. Analyze behaviors, respond to attacks & share signals across the community. With CrowdSec, you can set up your own intrusion detection system that parses logs, detects and blocks threats, and shares bad actors with the larger CrowdSec community.

Self-Hosting Security Guide for your HomeLab

January 29, 2022January 29, 2022 Timothy StewartNo Comments

When most people think about self-hosting services in their HomeLab, they often think of the last mile. By last mile I mean the very last hop before a user accesses your services. This last hop, whether that’s using certificates or a reverse proxy, is incredibly important, but it’s also important to know that security starts at the foundation of your HomeLab. Today, we’ll work our way up from hardware security, to OS, to networking, to containers, to firewalls, IDS/IPS, reverse proxies, auth proxies for authentication and authorization, and even lean in to an external provider like Cloudflare.
