Guides

Full how-tos and runbooks, the longer pieces migrated from my engineering-notes and the various -learning repos. Browse by topic:

  • Home Lab: the five-node k3s cluster on Raspberry Pi the rest of these guides run on, with local-path storage, a tainted control-plane board, and a DNS-anchored API that survives WiFi DHCP changes.
  • Engineering Notes: standalone how-tos, like certificate pinning, creating a kubeconfig from a ServiceAccount, and building/pushing Docker images.
  • CloudNativePG: a hands-on series on running PostgreSQL with the CloudNativePG operator.
  • VictoriaMetrics: a series on running the VictoriaMetrics Kubernetes stack, starting with GitOps for Grafana dashboards.
  • KEDA: event-driven autoscaling on Kubernetes with cron, HTTP, and workload scalers.
  • vLLM: notes on deploying large language models across multiple nodes.
  • LLM from Scratch: learning to build a language model by hand.
