Helm – Kubernetes Package Manager (Kubernetes)

March 6, 2026cloud, DevOps, docker, Docker / Kubernetes, KubernetesPixpaSeecoding Technologies

My recent posts have been discussing manually creating Kubernetes resources but, as I pointed out in an earlier post, there is an easier way to deploy Kubernetes resources and that is Helm. What is Helm? Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes. A bit like apt in Debian Linux, or yum in Red Hat Linux. […]

Liveness Checks (Kubernetes)

February 21, 2026DevOps, Docker / KubernetesPixpaSeecoding Technologies

Kubernetes can use a function called a livenessProbe to help identify unhealthy pods or pods that are having issues. The below livenessProbe uses a httpGet to check for response codes between 200 and 400. The probe waits 3 seconds (initialDelaySeconds) before starting. The probe checks for a response every 3 seconds (periodSeconds). The probe flags […]

Kubernetes Pods – Requests and Limits (Kubernetes)

February 15, 2026DevOps, Docker / Kubernetes, KubernetesPixpaSeecoding Technologies

In previous Kubernetes based posts I have created a deployment of replicas, a load balancer service and demonstrated how to test that traffic flows to different pods. But what if I wanted to control how much resource a deployment should use? Resources: Requests and Limits Kubernetes has an resources option for requests and limits, as […]

Testing Kubernetes Load Balancer via Replicas (Kubernetes)

February 14, 2026cloud, DevOps, docker, Docker / Kubernetes, Kubernetes, technologyPixpaSeecoding Technologies

I previously blogged about deploying a replica set of nginx in Kubernetes, with the same static web pages shared from storage. I then did a post about using a load balancer such as Metallb in Kubernetes, with pods available externally via the load balancer. But how about mixing the two together…. Some Python (Flask) When […]

Load Balancer (Kubernetes)

January 18, 2026Docker / KubernetesPixpaSeecoding Technologies

In a previous blog post (K3s Cluster) I wrote how my K3s Cluster sat and waited for an external IP address and never got one. There are solutions for this when running a K3s Cluster, or running a Kubernetes via MicroK8s. MetalLB MetalLB is a load balancer for use in Kubernetes, which helps those running […]

K3s Cluster (Kubernetes)

July 2, 2025DevOps, Docker / KubernetesPixpaSeecoding Technologies

With my Proxmox cluster running I have decided to delve back into Kubernetes in a local cluster. My Proxmox hosts are not super powerful (2 cores each and a mixture of 4GB and 8GB) but that should be enough for a K3s cluster. K3s K3s is lightweight Kubernetes (K8s) built for unattended, remote locations or […]

Vue.JS, Django, GraphQL API and more!

October 21, 2024DevOps, docker, Docker / Kubernetes, JavaScript, PythonPixpaSeecoding Technologies

On a recent visit to Real Python (www.realpython.com) I came across a course aiming to show how to create a blog with a Django (Python) backend and a Vue.JS (JavasScript) frontend, with the frontend and backend using GraphQL to share data. I’ve not utilised GraphQL or Vue.JS in a project before so I decided to […]

ASP.Net / Blazor via Docker

May 22, 2024c, C, C++, C#, docker, Docker / Kubernetes, netPixpaSeecoding Technologies

I’m currently looking at ASP.NET webapps and wanted to run one inside a container, rather than directly on my computer. Partly because I like running things in containers, and partly because I don’t currently build webapps on Windows, so want to make sure that any webapps I build/modify will run okay on other platforms. Prepping […]
