Goals

  • Do another day like yesterday. Slightly less rushed this time, though.
  • Earworm: “You don’t look a day over Fast Cars and Freedom

  • Let’s start already!
  • Idea being to see if I run into the same hiccoughs with Miniflux1 Minikube today as I did with Kind yesterday
  • Minikube installed. Set config to use all 4 of my aging xeon cores
  • See now why folks prefer Kind. It takes a while to spin up
  • Run into the same problem image wise as Kind yesterday. Figuring out a way to load my containers into the Minikube cluster
  • It works!
  • Ok, both have their uses. If I want to play with software development, Kind makes sense, but if I want a running cluster to test stuff in, with better network support, I’ll use Minikube
  • Or will I? A tiny config tweak let me access my app with Kind as well. So methinks, I’ll stick to Kind for most my jobs and use Minikube when Kind doesn’t cut it

  • Back to work
  • Now that I got the local setup running and my options at hand and the local app running, now to get back to the book to see how to do the same thing on a cloud.
  • got the heebie-jeebies tryng Azure stuff on my now expired trial.
  • signing up with another email id to test
  • 2025-10-21 12:31: Calling it a day with focussed work. Azure took the wind out of me
