Goals
- The cluster’s up! Learn to deploy apps to it.
- Begin by moving (lifting and shifting in popular parlance) Miniflux to the cluster
- Cert will probably be needed
- Learn how to configure an app with code
- Figure out secrets, if there are any
- Learn how to tunnel through and reverse proxy
- Learn how to store data and back it up
- Move Hedgedoc next

- Quickly skim through the Helm book
- Dumb thought: Backups should get easier. All the data will probably lie in one directory somewhere on disk and configs will lie in code
- 2025-11-07 09:02: Think I’ll install things manually and then “gitops” it. Because right now, everything feels turtles all the way down AND chicken and egg to me
- 2025-11-07 09:41: Trying to get a local cluster environment going

- Back at it, attempting to install traefik on a local cluster
- 2025-11-07 12:09: Got tired trying to adapt Kind to the K3s way of doing things. Switching to K3s on the local system as well, because I keep forgetting that kind itself runs inside a docker container. K3s is light enough to run on my local system as well.
- 2025-11-07 12:35: K3s installed and configured. One happy accident is that I don’t have to install Traefik (plus associated sofware like load balancers) any more
