Brilliant highly underrated channel, bro you must rock this domain on YT

[@prettybasic9545]

bro is always straight to the point

[@TheOnlyEpsilonAlpha]

Thanks for the video. I find it ridiculous, that Kubernetes by itself is high available, failover and everything but when a node goes down the storage is lost!?!? I mean for real? Ceph should be the(!) default storage for Kubernetes

[@sahilpanjwani430]

Great video Morris, subscribed! Would love to hear more about your home cluster setup and how it's built 🙂

[@EngineeringWithMorris]

Hi thanks for watching, I will definitely be making more videos about my setup. You can also checkout my other video about setting up a production ready Kubernetes cluster at home. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4iXqGWwnreIbrM

[@Babbili]

i wonder why you're not producing videos any more, it's like i have all your videos saved, they're really valuable

[@EngineeringWithMorris]

I appreciate you mate, I will be back shortly.

[@amjadmismar695]

Thank you, great video

[@chrisjchalifoux]

Thank you for the video

[@premierde]

Thank you. Can you please elaborate why and on what basis the osd's are created on all of your 5 nodes?

[@sourabhdey2590]

how can we intergrate the external ceph cluster with kubernetes cluster ?

[@IamKanuKingsley]

Thank you so much for your tutorials. They have taught me a lot. However, I am having issues with installing Rook Ceph. I don't know if it is because i am using kube-vip in my cluster. Please, any pointer will be appreciated. Best regards

[@EngineeringWithMorris]

Hi, I can’t be entirely sure. Would help to know the exact error you are getting.

[@IamKanuKingsley]

@@EngineeringWithMorris is working on a non-HA cluster with RKE2. However, I think it has something to do with my kube-vip setup. I will try again and register the error if it pops up again. Thanks for your response.

Hi mate, Do you know if this solves the sqlite concurrency issues. That is because many of the self-hosting applications (navidrome, jellyfin) rely on sqlite and it is not possible to run more than one replica without locking the database. I tried Longhorn and had this problem.

[@EngineeringWithMorris]

I have not tried running something like plex with multiple replicas yet, although I am pretty sure you will run into the same issue with rook as well.

[@nuchallenger1358]

How should I adopt this to work with my aks cluster? Will I need to change any of the operator settings?

[@EngineeringWithMorris]

Hi, I am yet to try out that kind of setup but you can try and provision unformatted storage disks to your k8s nodes which can then be consumed by Rook.
