I have a small home lab kubernetes cluster running k3s from rancher labs. As part of that deployment, the traefik ingress controller is included. This post is first in a series where I muddle through exploring the traefik ingress using a rust webserver. Covered in this post. Rust workloads on k8s with ARM and Docker. What will be running? Since my home lab cluster runs on 4 raspberry pi’s, some work will be needed to get a properly formatted image. For this I’ll be using docker buildx to build our images for multiple targets. This post will review the steps needed to get a working docker image deployed onto an ARM cluster using docker and kubernetes. ...
