Good guide to setup a Kubernetes cluster with Traefik

Hi all!

I've a background as Linux sysadmin (not much, couple of years) and I'm facing the challenge to setup a Kubernetes cluster.

One of the requirements is to use Traefik.

I'm finding A LOT of how to online but they are all different from each other.

Do you know a good guide to do such things? The K8s cluster is up and running, Traefik is the problem.

I can get it up, access the dashboard, but that's all. I tried to test it using the example application "whoami" and I can see the app in the dashboard but I can access it only by localhost curl on the node where it runs.

Thanks a lot!

Deciding between Kubernetes or Docker Swarm
  • Thanks for the reply!

    I also have a background as Linux Sysadmin but barely a couple of years.

    I have managed to get a Kubernets cluster up and running but I have difficult setting up containers. The Classic "whoami" works flawless by Traefik for example, but doing the same for Portainer seems like impossibile for me right now, going crazy :D

    I'm i choosing a difficult path? Is it possibile to have a good K8s cluster running nice without traefik?

    Thanks!

  • Deciding between Kubernetes or Docker Swarm

    Hi all!

    I have a couple of months to create and deploy a small cluster for running docker containers.

    The cluster will consist of 3 master nodes and some workers. When it is ready, it will consist of about 15 servers.

    I have little experience with Docker (managing some containers on my home server), I have spent the last 4 or 5 weeks studying and testing with Kubernetes and I think it's a little overkill for what it's going to take. You run the risk of adding unnecessary complexity.

    I am seeing that instead Docker Swarm seems easier to set up and manage.

    To consider that I will be on my own to manage it.

    What do you think?

    Thanks!
