⁠AFK - The tech stack for lazy devs

Self-replicating blog I whipped up with Angular and Firebase. (Only GitHub clone works so far) The intent is to get this fully self-replicatable so that a user can clone, build a deploy this website to any Kubernetes cluster. Currently the issue is finding a Docker build agent and pushing to Docker Hub, but otherwise Digital Ocean and other cloud providers have the API's needed to deploy right from the client-side site. Example: beshoyhanna.com⁠

⁠Prerequisites

• Google Cloud Firestore account
• Docker Hub (or another Docker registry)
• A working Kubernetes cluster AKS, Amzon AKE, GKE, Digital Ocean Kubernetes (DOK)

⁠Building

⁠You'll need Docker installled and a Docker Hub or another docker registry.

docker build -rm -f "Dockerfile" -t <version> .

⁠Tagging

docker tag <version> <registry>/<username>/<name>/<version>

docker tag <version> <registry>/<username>/<name>/latest

⁠Pushing

docker push <registry>/<username>/<name>/<version>

docker push <registry>/<username>/<name>/latest

⁠Deploying

Now you are ready to deploy to your favroite Kubernetes cluster!

Make sure you update afk-kube.yaml to point to your Docker registry.

Against your favorite kubernetes cluster, run

kubectl create -f afk-kube.yaml

Check on the hosted IP with

kubectl get services

and on your pods with

kubectl get pods

That's it! Enjoy your new blog!
