Watchful CitizenSo happy about getting #mastodon up and working in my #kubernetes #homelab. I can really recommend. #Cloudflare R2 is pretty solid too.
What's your latest accomplishment in #foss in your homelab?
Miron@watchfulcitizen@goingdark.social hey, did you use a helm chart? If so which one? I wan to run mastodon on my cluster too.
Watchful Citizen@hmiron@fosstodon.org no only for elasticsearch and Redis. But I'm going to convert them to manifests as well. I try to Avoid helm as much as possible.
You can see the full manifests here if you need:

Miron@watchfulcitizen@goingdark.social why do you try to avoid Helm?
Watchful Citizen@hmiron@fosstodon.org I avoid Helm because I want full control, no hidden defaults, and consistent, GitOps-friendly manifests. Debugging is awful since every chart does it differently, and as a coder, its templating is impossible to trace and downright ugly. I do, however, see its purpose from the perspective of someone shipping an app.
