Cluster
Ready
Deployed on the existing single-node k3s host with a namespace-isolated workload.
Kube Homebase
A tiny self-hosted operations launchpad running inside your Kubernetes cluster. It is the front door for cluster notes, rollout commands, service links, and future GitOps controls.
Exposure
Ingress
Served through Traefik at ops-dashboard.demoserver2.buzz.
Pattern
Portable
Static app content lives in a ConfigMap, so the page can be iterated without rebuilding an image.
Cool self-hosting direction
Turn this into a private homelab cockpit: service catalog, uptime view, deployment notes, incident scratchpad, and one-click links to Grafana, Gitea, Rancher, calendars, and games.
- Add live cluster data through a small read-only API service account.
- Add GitOps cards for repos and current image tags.
- Add status badges for TLS, pods, and public routes.
Next module
Live API
A tiny Go or Node backend can read Kubernetes endpoints and render real workload health.
