In this post I will describe how you can set up services in kubernetes that will listen for new ingress, create a certificate, get it signed by letsencrypt and presented on the correct website. It will also automatically update DNS records. In my previous post I described how you can create .local websites on your homelab, and how you can use mDNS to have the sites working without extra configuration. But mDNS is served over http, and many browsers feel slower with http compared to https. [Read More]

I created a few applications on my homelab, one of those is music-assistant. Music-assistant is an awesome project that plays all your local and remote music over all your speakers. It can play Spotify, ripped cds, webradio stations etc., and it will play them over smart and dumb speakers. It also integrates with home-assistant. Anyways, what I want to talk about today is making services available on your home network. [Read More]

As a consultant I come into different organizations, usually of the larger size. Making my custom applications work in those orgs, often revolves around TLS certificates. This post explains how you can add custom certificates, but also how you can skip that part by injecting certificates into a pod. Self-signed certificates in large orgs If you work in open environments you never have to think about this, but companies of a certain size start to build a large (internal) intRAnet with custom pages and custom domains.

As a data scientist that wants to achieve production results, one of the best options is to make your work available in kubernetes. Because kubernetes runs on all clouds and because many organizations use kubernetes. Make your prediction API available in kubernetes and your organization can ‘just’ plug it into their systems. Many data scientists don’t know anything about docker, not to mention kubernetes and its main tool helm. I think you should learn and practice just enough helm to be dangerous1. [Read More]

I’m going to give you a high overview of kubernetes and how you can make your R work shine in kubernetes. Are you, an R-user in a company that uses kubernetes? building R applications (models that do predictions, shiny applications, APIs)? curious about this whole kubernetes thing that your coworkers are talking about? somewhat afraid? Then I have the post for you! Many R users come from an academic background, statistics and social sciences. [Read More]
