Suppose you have a kubernetes cluster, which contains a large set of ingress rules, of which many are used for the same hostname (just using different context-root’s / paths). In this case it can be hard to find out which rule is used for a certain URL. To help out in this situation I have created a Linux script to make a nice overview of paths mapped to what services by which ingress rules. You still have to read through…
The web-gui on a synology NAS has an application called “Universal Search”. I wanted to be able to use this from the shell command line on the NAS also to find my files, so I set out to find if that would be possible. TL;DR; See https://github.com/atkaper/synology-universal-search-cli for the end result. Or scroll down almost half way, till you find first mention of “synowebapi”. To use Universal Search, you first have to set it up using the web-gui, to index…
Inspired by a T-shirt as sold by Okimono.nl, I created a playable version of the game as depicted on their T-shirt. It is a cross-over between Pac-Man and Pong. Pac-Man became 40 this year!
A short post about a simple Java Utility class to help out in Unit Testing the proper functioning of log statements in code under test.
Building a WiFi temperature sensor, and showing the data as graph. Using DS18B20, WeMos D1 mini ESP8266, InfluxDb, Telegraf, Grafana.
Summary We are using (self hosted) Jira (the Atlassian Issue Tracker / Scrum / Kanban Board) at the office. And we wanted to receive a chat notification for each newly created ticket, to be received in Microsoft Teams Channels. Teams is a collaboration messenger tool like Slack or RocketChat. Jira can send new ticket/story creations using a web-hook to external tools. The web-hook sends a Jira specific JSON payload, no configuration options possible. The project you are looking at, consists…
A python script, running in a docker container, to read energy consumption and back delivery data from the digital “smart?” meter (as is installed in many homes in the Netherlands). Storing it in mysql for further use.
I wanted to build my own WiFi dimmer, to connect my dinner table lights to Alexa (Amazon Echo Dot). The used parts are an ESP8266 (I used a Wemos D1 Mini Clone), an ATTiny45, some sort of power module to supply 3.3 volt, and a zero-cross-detector / Triac dimmer module.
Summary I have created a Fluent Bit LUA Filter to force proper data types to be send to our Elastic Search (log collector) Database, to prevent Elastic from rejecting the log records. GitHub Project: https://github.com/atkaper/fluent-bit-lua-filter-elastic-data-types Environment We are running a bunch of (on premise) Kubernetes clusters, all having around 20 nodes, with many deployments on it. The deployments use different technologies; Java, Kotlin, Node.js, GO, Python, C, … and quite some standard open source applications. Most of them have been…
GitHub Project: https://github.com/atkaper/k8s-tiller-history-cleanup Introduction In our on premise Kubernetes cluster, we use Helm for a big part of our application / micro-services deployments. Helm uses an engine called Tiller (which is a deployment in the cluster). It executes the installs / updates / deletes, and it stores the results of deployments in the system as config maps. While migrating our applications to a new K8S cluster, we saw that we forgot to set a limit on the history which is…
