This CronJob schedules a periodic run of `restic forget`, which deletes snapshots according to the specified retention period (14 daily, 4 weekly, 12 monthly). This task used to run on my workstation, scheduled by a systemd timer unit. I've kept the same schedule and retention period as before. Now, instead of relying on my PC to be on and awake, the cleanup will occur more regularly. There's also the added benefit of getting the logs into Loki.
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.
