Doing basebackups of Postgres databases enables you to do a Point-in-time recovery (PITR) of your database. Doing backups for your databases that have been deployed using the Zalando Postgres Operator, is a different beast. Here I show you how it’s done with a MinIO (self)hosted S3 compatible Object Storage.

Wanting to have a S3 compatible Object Storage costs you money when ordering it with a Cloud provider out there. Self hosting it on your existing Homelab is for free and also fun to do. So let’s have a look into how to deploy MinIO Object Storage on your Docker environment.

If you’re forgetful like me, you have to wrote everything down to remember what you did later. For Docker, this hits me quite hard for every “docker run” command I’ve ever issued. What was the env setting like? On which port did I ran the container? I found a small little Python project called “docker-replay” quite useful to generate docker run commands out of running containers for me.

Install and running Vagrant is in general pretty straightforward. For a non-Linux user, it can get a little bit tricky when combining Vagrant with the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Even when you got the installation right, there are still some stumbling blocks waiting for you when you try to run Ansible Playbooks during vagrant up.

In einem älteren Artikel habe ich gezeigt, wie man das beliebte Heimdall Dashboard mit wenig Aufwand auf Docker betreibt. Aus reinem Interesse wollte ich Heimdall auf meinen Kubernetes Cluster umziehen und anschließend mit einem offiziellen Let’s Encrypt Zertifikat signieren.

Ich verwende PiHole als rekursiven DNS Server sowie als DHCP Server in meinem Heimnetz. Das bewahrt mich vor unliebsamer Werbung und erlaubt mir, DNS Einträge nach meinem Belieben zu vergeben und mehrere Domains zu verwalten (etwas, dass meine Fritzbox nicht kann). Zwar synchronisiere ich DNS und DHCP Einstellungen zwischen meinen zwei Raspberry Pi’s, bei einem Ausfall meines primären DNS PiHole, muss ich dennoch (abhängig vom Betriebssystem meiner Clients) manuell tätig werden um den zweiten PiHole als primären DNS Server verfügbar zu machen. Hier kommt keepalived ins Spiel.
