A personal recap of things I explored, learned, or questioned in tech this week.
🔧 What I Worked On
- Migrating ChronosUp project from VPS to homeserver
- I decided to destroy the VPS backing up the data
- The service is unavailable now, it doesn’t matter since no one is using it
- It was fun to progress in the process of change the structure of the project and implement a ton of CI/CD config
🌐 Homelab Updates
- Installed Dokploy
- Installed MinIO
- Installed macOS runner using UTM
- It works perfectly and it didn’t consume much. I need to test it out with a more demanding application
📚 What I Learned
- NodePort vs Service vs LoadBalancer in Service of Kubernetes
🧠 Things That Surprised Me
- I’m really enjoying Kubernetes. I always thought it was overkill tool. Indeed it is for many cases, but it is fun.
❓ Open Questions or Doubts
- I couldn’t use the image build from a step (build test image) and using it in another one (run tests)
- I get an error when the image is being pulled, since the login can’t be done before the preparation of the step and the pull fails for unathorized operation
- I’ve tried a lot of options with no success
📹 Youtube Videos I watched
💬 Final Thoughts
- Even having a small list of items, I achieved a lot of things in my homelab this week
