In our most recent blog post, we have shown how to install ElasticSearch via Helm. This time, we will add a Kibana server (via Helm again), so we can visualize the data stored in the ElasticSearch database. Compared to the…
There may be simpler possibilities for installing ElasticSearch on Docker. However, here, we will choose a way that can be easily expanded for production use: the installation of ElasticSearch on Kubernetes via Helm charts. While installing ElasticSearch using Helm implements…
In this tutorial, we will expose a kubernetes application via HTTPS with a valid Let’s Encrypt certificate. A certificate manager will help us to automatically receive and provision a trusted TLS certificate. It is trusted since Let’s Encrypt has signed the…
You will find here step by step instructions on how to install an ingress controller on a Kubernetes multi-node cluster with an example application on both, HTTP and HTTPS. In our last blog post, we have installed a Kubernetes Ingress…
In this blog post, we will show how to create Kubernetes HTTPS applications with a redirection from HTTP to HTTPS. For that, we will create a and mount a self-signed wildcard certificate to an NginX-based Kubernetes ingress controller. We will…
Kubernetes local volumes go beta. However, what is it, a Kubernetes local volume? Last time, we have discovered, how to use Kubernetes hostPath volumes. However, we also have seen, that hostPath volumes work well only on single node clusters. Here,…
In this blog post, we will start our first persistent kubernetes application. In our role as an administrator, we first will create a persistent volume. Then, in our role as a developer, we will create a persistent volume claim. Later,…
In the blog post, we will learn how to create a kubernetes cluster with the help of kubeadm. We will deploy a Kubernetes master on a CentOS system before we will join a second CentOS system as Kubernetes Node. After describing…
This is part 2 of a series on Kubernetes a la minikube. Minikube is (probably) the easiest way of installing a small Kubernetes system including a graphical user interface. In part 1 we have shown how to install such a system on…
In this blog post tutorial, we will learn, how to install a single node Kubernetes cluster via minikube. We will install minikube on CentOS 7 natively without the need for any virtual machine layer. This post is inspired by the…
This blog post shows a quick way how to install Kubernetes, a Docker orchestration framework published by Google, as a set of Docker containers. With that you can circumvent the hassle you may run into while trying to install Kubernetes natively.…
In this post, I have summarized how I have performed a password recovery of a WordPress installation. I have followed the instructions here. I have performed a WordPress password reset via database (Step 1 through 6) as well as a WordPress password…
Are you reviewing Docker orchestration systems like Kubernetes, DC/OS or OpenShift? In this blog post, let us learn how to install a standalone OpenShift Origin system on Fedora. OpenShift Installation on Fedora is a tough nut. As an example, read this…
Docker @ Cloud We build your Docker Infrastructure. On-premise. On Cloud. Whether it be on-premise or cloud, we help you make an educated decision on which way to go: Docker Swarm, Kubernetes, OpenShift or DC/OS. Test all of those in our own vocon…
This is part 4 of a blog post series, in which we explore how to automate Amazon Web Services (AWS) using the Terraform open source software by HashiCorp. Similar to Cloudify, Terraform is a versatile way to codify any type of infrastructure and…
In this blog post we will review the architecture of OpenShift before we will gain some hands-on experience with OpenShift Origin, which is the free version of the OpenShift Container Platform a.k.a. OpenShift Enterprise. Vagrant software will help us to automate the installation…
In this blog we will show the surprising result that Docker on Ubuntu seems to outperform Docker on CoreOS by ~30%, when tested with a java templating web service. But first let us discuss the reason on why I have started the…
Short Introduction into container technologies and reasons, why I have chosen to start proof of concepts with Docker and no other container technology.
In this post, I will explore services failover scenarios for docker containers on CoreOS clusters using fleet. A container-based service will be defined and started, and we will explore the service recovery after a failure of one or all cluster nodes (e.g.…
