Goals

  • Continue moving Kanboard. We got it up yesterday. Data does not show up though
  • Once the manual approach works, move it to
  • Begin by moving (lifting and shifting in popular parlance) Kanboard 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 Miniflux next, followed by Hedgedoc

  • Wrote up a post on load balancers that bit me
  • Continuing with yesterday’s work now
  • 2025-11-11 09:05: Switching folders, enabling and disabling deploys, setting permissions and now I realise why I need charts and gitops
  • 2025-11-11 09:28: Yea baby yea! Dumb permissions issue! Kanboard migrated successfully! Now to make it accessible from the outside
  • 2025-11-11 09:30: Tea Break
  • 2025-11-11 11:14: Struggled for close to 45 minutes before I realised I had not brought up a service after deleting it!
  • 2025-11-11 11:22: I have made my way step by step from a docker file to a working app on kubernetes. Feels good
  • 2025-11-11 11:37: Now that I seem to have a good handle on making things work, I should make it a habit of reading the docs bit by bit
  • 2025-11-11 12:34: Found Funky Penguin!
  • 2025-11-11 12:43: Tore everything down. Again!
  • Will do more in the evening sesssion using Funky Penguin’s suggestions, most of which, I arrived at independantly. So that gives me a lot of self confidence

  • 2025-11-11 19:24: Calling it a night. Will follow the Penguin tomorrow, because he is doing the same thing that I want
