Vagrant Cluster Deployment Success

Invertedlight/ July 14, 2026/ DevOps, Home-Lab, Kubernetes, Uncategorized

Today my Kubernetes journey reached a milestone. All the concepts and yaml files clicked into place into a deployable Kubernetes cluster setup. Quite a blast to see it all working together.

Sure it was a guided journey, but now I have a template to explore and expand upon.

Using Vagrant to deploy the cluster was slick. Definitely going to dig in deeper to really understand setting up the vagrant file.

Neat tip when using tmux: Login (ssh) to the controlplane, then start tmux.
Split the pane so you have one pane per node and ssh into each node.
Do ctrl-x to start synchronization mode.
You should see the pane divider turn red.
Now when you type commands into the controlplane pane the commands get replicated to the other nodes in parallel.
Great time saver when setting up the cluster nodes.

My first application – the mealie app to record and share all those recipes scattered in various places.
My own private cook book!

Another step closer to taking the CKA exam.
