[kprojects]

I've been using k8s for a bit and i'd love to get xf running on it.. anyone have it running currently? I didn't see any helm modules..

I was hoping for this as well. :/

I did see this https://gitlab.com/xfrocks/K8s

Did anyone proceed with this? Judging by that repo an addon is required to keep the caches updated across all the pods, does anyone know which versions of XF2 it is for?

Unless you have an NFS filesystem mounted for the code caches you won't get around having an add-on to handle that. You'll also need your data and internal_data filesystems using S3 or something other than a local filesystem

Any idea if the performance would be acceptable by setting up a persistent volume with, say Amazon EFS?

Good thread!!

We are currently considering to migrate our 3 XF forums, currently running on dedicated servers, to a Kubernetes cluster (also to be set up on dedicated servers).

Aim: to improve scalability and resource efficiency. This is especially important, as we keep improving (making more complex) a resource-intensive custom tool for our users (domain investors).

For mail we have a separate smtp server using postal with 6 ips.

.. 4 years later, has anyone here successfully migrated a XF setup to Kubernetes, especially on dedicated servers?

@kprojects have you managed doing this?

Would love to hear any insights or lessons learned. .. especially the mistakes. Thank you
