An easy-to-follow guide to building a K3s Cluster on the Orange Pi 5 Plus (opi5+) using Armbian as the Operating System (OS) and Ansible. The post is meant as a straightforward guide for anyone looking to replicate the process.

This blog post summarizes an unsuccessful attempt to build a K3s Cluster on the Orange Pi 5 Plus (opi5+) using Fedora CoreOS (FCOS). It also outlines the steps taken before arriving at that conclusion and presents a list of possible alternatives to achieve a similar result.

In this guide, we'll walk through the steps to install libvirt on the Single Board Computer (SBC) Orange Pi 5 (opi5) for running virtual machines (VMs). I've compiled these steps after dealing with the opi5 instructions, searching on the internet and communities, and my own experience. I hope this guide helps someone accomplish this task more quickly than I did initially.

This article introduces the KeyDB Operator for Kubernetes, a tool that simplifies the deployment of KeyDB in Kubernetes clusters. KeyDB is a multithreading, drop-in alternative to Redis that offers enhanced high availability and fault tolerance.

An introduction to the NFS Operator for Kubernetes, a tool that simplifies the deployment of NFSv4 Ganesha servers in Kubernetes clusters. The operator allows you to set ownership/permissions, autoexpand the PVC size, and enable RWX storage from them.

A brief introduction to a minimal container image for Rocky Linux 8, similar to UBI8 and Fedora minimal. It is around ~37 MB (compressed).

This article shows how to test and verify a complex scenario using Ansible and Molecule. It is a Postgres cluster to be configured by Ansible. You can deploy it to local containers using Molecule, a framework for developing and testing Ansible roles.

Exploring the transition from Docker to Podman, this article delves into the challenges and solutions for adapting containerized projects, highlighting key differences like rootless containers and user namespaces, and emphasizing the importance of community resources and documentation.

This article shows a stackable multienvironment directory layout for Ansible, using unionfs and a container. The main goal is to have little file and data duplication in a multienvironment Ansible project while maintaining Ansible groups and host granularity.
