FYI all, portainer is giving away 3 node business licenses. https://www.portainer.io/take-3

When I signed up for the freebie I noticed they've added #kubernetes support since the last time I visited their site, so I'm interested in checking how well that interacts with #talos.

Some of my #homelab machines currently just run a few containers in #docker_compose stacks for services my #homeassistant server is using like node red and I've been using #portainer for simple things like checking status or restarting things without having to ssh into those workers. Most of those containers are going to get migrated into my #k8s cluster, so it'll be interesting to see how well it works as a quick web interface.

lmao.

talos linux just added a log folder in 1.12. Perfect, lemme enable node logs finally on the grafana/loki/alloy stack!

Oh. Wait, alloy/k8s-monitoring expects /var/log/journal to exist, so systemd, which talos is not using. (far too minimal for that, not a philosophical aversion to it)

Which means if I want to export node logs using alloy I'll have to do a bunch of file log configs, whoops

Or I could export to syslog.... but I have mtls setup on that and I don't see a way to get a client cert for the talos nodes, or configure the log exporter to use it?

Hmm. I have another idea, but I'll have to think a bit on which is the best option, some of the ideas seem cursed....

I set up a #talos #k8s cluster with #cilium on #proxmox over the holiday break.

I documented how to set one up on my blog at https://unixorn.github.io/post/homelab/k8s/01-talos-with-cilium-cni-on-proxmox/
