Authelia is a general authentication provider that works (primarily) by integrating with *nginx* using its subrequest mechanism. It works great with Kubernetes/*ingress-nginx* to provide authentication for services running in the cluster, especially those that do not provide their own authentication system. Authelia needs a database to store session data. It supports various engines, but since we're only running a very small instance with no real need for HA, SQLite on a Longhorn persistent volume is sufficient. Configuration is done mostly through a YAML document, although some secret values are stored in separate files, which are pointed to by environment variables.
Dustin's Kubernetes Cluster
This repository contains resources for deploying and managing my on-premises Kubernetes cluster
Cluster Setup
The cluster primarily consists of libvirt/QEMU+KVM virtual machines. The Control Plane nodes are VMs, as are the x86_64 worker nodes. Eventually, I would like to add Raspberry Pi or Pine64 machines as aarch64 nodes.
All machines run Fedora, using only Fedora builds of the Kubernetes components
(kubeadm, kubectl, and kubeadm).
See Cluster Setup for details.
Jenkins Agents
One of the main use cases for the Kubernetes cluster is to provide dynamic agents for Jenkins. Using the Kubernetes Plugin, Jenkins will automatically launch worker nodes as Kubernetes pods.
See Jenkins Kubernetes Integration for details.
Persistent Storage
Persistent storage for pods is provided by Longhorn. Longhorn runs within the cluster and provisions storage on worker nodes to make available to pods over iSCSI.
See Persistent Storage Using Longorn for details.
