Deploying new versions of bird.makeup is starting to take a while with so many boxes, I think it's time I move it to a kubernetes cluster
Also I'm going to make it deploy automatically from sourcehut when I push new changes, this is going to save me so much time!
@vincent Is there are way to have bird.makeup post from here (mastodon) to the bird site or is it only *from* bird site to other sites?
@GeekMeSpeakStef I wish there were, but Twitter is closed platform, so only twitter to fediverse
@vincent thanks for the info.
@vincent Cool! What hosting provider are you using for the cluster? AWS? Linode?
@compuguy OVH, with the region in Québec, Canada. Powering bird.makeup with renewables is very important to me, and I have to say I'm very happy with OVH so far
@vincent Ah okay! Never had a chance to use OVH. I know they have one of their datacenters in the eastern US in an old military bunker in Vint Hil, VA: https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/french-firm-ovh-to-build-us-data-center-in-virginia/
@vincent@social.librem.one Hey, is there some maintenance or bug that you're aware of? I'm trying to follow one account, however it always returns an error
I did it! I now have a kubernetes cluster!
Here is the config for bird.makeup, for those curious: https://git.sr.ht/~cloutier/bird.makeup/tree/master/item/k8s/dotmakeup.yaml
I'll see how it behaves in the next week or so, and then I'll start consolidating the various servers I have to it.
Also it's only in web server mode, it doesn't crawl yet. I will use the ordinal of the statefulset as the shard ID to enable crawling. Right now it has to be manually set per node
