Goal:
Run the unifi controller as container on my home K3s cluster.
Introduction The synology D916+ can run a docker application packed in a single container, which I found quite convenient to host a couple of applications in my home network:
The unifi controller, to manage our two Unifi Access Points The Logitech Media Server - yes, I still own several squeezeboxes I wouldn’t change for anything :D Home Assistant Planning to add further applications - and having in mind a setup where the logs from some of the home applications are fed into a elasticsearch cluster later - I decided to move them to Kubernetes, which it meant to reactivate my K3s cluster, which I had installed on a Raspberry Pi 4 a while ago - see my previous post:
Goal:
Set up a minimal Kubernetes cluster on Rapberry Pi 4.
I ordered a new Raspberry Pi 4 a couple of days ago. I already use one at work for automated testing and I think it’s pretty cool, but I actually wasn’t sure what I wanted it for. After giving it a thought, I decided to install Rancher’s K3S distribution on it, turning it to a convenient, low-power-consumption, single-node K8s distribution I can use as a playground.
