Raspberry Pi Cluster Ep 4 - Minecraft, Pi-hole, Grafana + MORE!

This is a BIG episode; I'm going to walk you through deploying a monitoring stack (Prometheus, AlertManager, and Grafana) on the Turing Pi K3s cluster so you can see how it's performing. Then I'll deploy Drupal and Wordpress, two popular PHP-based website building CMSes. And then for a little more fun, I deploy Minecraft server using Helm. Then I deploy Pi-hole for ad blocking and custom DNS!

Mate, your channel is obscure which in itself is a crime. Keep up the great work, man

[dracorep]

You are the first person I find to actually explain in detail how to use a cluster and not only what you could use a cluster for. It is very easy to follow you (even so I don't know nothing about the drupal and Prometheus and all these crazy applications). The video is very well structured and is over all very helpful. Keep up the good work.

43:28 You suppose to dig straight down in Minecraft. Coffin music starts playing. Brilliant.

I've been working in IT for 20 years and I recently found your channel...totally hooked!! Thanks so much for your concise explanations, and mixing in some fun too :-)

[mojo_jojo]

Thank you for making a video about my pihole helm chart! :)

I've watched your videos for a couple of months after acquiring a bunch of raspberry pi's to setup a kubernetes cluster. I do kubernetes in my day job and I have various home projects going including a cluster launched with vagrant and virtualbox VMs. I came back to youtube tonight because I thought I saw prometheus mentioned in one of your videos. I just finished a cluster using kubadm to launch a full k8s cluster on RPI as opposed to k3s. Then I used helm to install prometheus and hit the dreaded "exec format error" - the node exporters seemed okay but the rest of prometheus did not. I found it funny at the 10 minute point in the video that was exactly what I had encountered an hour ago. Thank you so much for this - great stuff.

Love the silicon valley reference lol, great video!

[SlyEcho]

This is like the first tutorial I've seen that shows how kubernetes really works.

[TheMadMagician]

This is a great series Jeff, thanks for all the effort you put into it!

[Samuel.Mwangi]

Fact Check: I have learnt more by watching that most getting started with K8s tutorials.
Fact check: Jeff had way too much fun shooting and editing this video it shows. Too bad I can't like it twice

[HardestManInTarot]

My favourite Steve Buscemi/Raspberry Pi channel by far.

[dwaynehart]

Another great educational experience Jeff. I'm looking forward to the next episode.

[welovedotnet]

Awesome videos Jeff! With docker now releasing multiplatform builds through buildx a lot more easily, plus the new Macbook's using ARM processors, hopefully exec errors will become a thing of the past!

[gabyabed]

Even though I don't do anything with Raspberry Pi, your kubernetes explanations are gold and had me engaged and learning. Thank you!

[PavelRozentsvet]

Thank you for the excellent content. I learned a lot from the Turing Cluster project as well as from The Mighty Drumble. Good Job!

[DJBioMusic]

Dude, I look forward to your videos so much. Especially the r pi cluster content. Keep it up!

[mayurchavhan]

Been waiting for this and it is rewarding for sure. Thanks Jeff for sharing this wonderful knowledge.

[deepinsource]

OMG, just notice you are the guy 'geerlingguy', the majority of my ansible playbooks are from you
Great work done!

[heitortremor]

This is a very well made video. Clean and informative. I didn't do any of the things with my lack of a cluster to do things with, but I do want to set something similar up in the future so this stuff is very fun to watch!

34:03 I like how he explains Minecraft as if there are people who are unfamiliar with it.
