Thanks for sharing your experience. I've got great insights to double check in my current environment.

Could you share which version of NGINX you found the issue with the reloads? Which version the fix was released?

PS.: I find it interesting/brave that you use a single cluster for several environments.

I'm using 0.9.0-beta.13. I first reported this issue in a NGINX ingress PR[1], so the last couple of releases are not suffering from the bug I reported in the blog post.

I'm not working for a big corporation, so dev/staging/prod "environments" are just three deployment pipelines to the same infrastructure.

As of now, things are running smoothly as they are, but I might as well use different clusters for each environment in the future.

Thanks for asking. I am planning to write another blog post dedicated fully to the setup of the cluster itself. For now, I will answer here your questions:

- Since the Pi boards are not so powerful (4 cores/1Gb RAM) just the monitoring takes most of the resources. But still I can deploy small Golang/Python apps. Currently I have 3 OrangePi Boards and 1 RaspberryPi as master node. I have still about half of the memory available in each node so ~450Mi free RAM. On the CPU side, only the master node is constantly using more than half of the available CPU cores.

- I actually run into problems due to the amount of logs done by the Kubernetes components. The partition dedicated to log files was constantly getting full. Then after proper configuration of logrotate it started to be health. Another interesting problem I had was Orphaned Pods. I still don't know the reason for that. To fix this, I had to add some `rm` commands cleaning the directories of old Orphan Pods.


I am the author of this blog post. If you have any feedback or questions I am happy to reply here.


A while ago I was looking into the things in this site and I created this Plugin to help me inspecting how it is done: https://github.com/rafaelcaricio/gradient-inspector

May help you too!


What do you guys use to create the thumbnails for the video seek bar? Is it pre-generated or on-the-fly?


On the beginning of this year we decided to transcode our old videos to have mp4/webm/hls renditions (we only had .flv at that time) so we could also generate the thumbs. For new videos I created this project https://github.com/flavioribeiro/video-thumbnail-generator and we are integrating it with our encoding pipeline.
