This controller works by watching Ingress and Service events in kubernetes. If an event matches a criterea (described within), a DNS record is created in pi-hole and thus the service is available via DNS on my local network. https://tolson.io/blog/development/images/hugo-ngrok.png https://tolson.io/blog/testing-hugo-open-graph-protocol-with-ngrok/ Sat, 18 Dec 2021 00:00:00 +0000 tolson@tolson.io (Tim Olson) https://tolson.io/blog/testing-hugo-open-graph-protocol-with-ngrok/ I recently moved to [Hugo](https://gohugo.io). One constant frustration in webdev for me is the initial setup of [Open Graph Protocol](https://opengraphprotocol.org/), using [ngork](https://ngrok.com/) I found a decent solution. https://tolson.io/blog/townwatch-an-alerting-tool-for-log-line-regex-matches/ Sat, 01 May 2021 00:00:00 +0000 tolson@tolson.io (Tim Olson) https://tolson.io/blog/townwatch-an-alerting-tool-for-log-line-regex-matches/ I recently completed a project for watching server log messages; [townwatch](https://github.com/tolson-vkn/townwatch). I named it for an upgrade in AoE2 that isn't very popular. Townwatch, my tool, is not a replacement for other monitoring or threat prevention tools, its aim is to provide some easy visibility into service log files on a linux host. https://tolson.io/blog/makefiles-simple-docker-apps/ Tue, 10 Dec 2019 00:00:00 +0000 tolson@tolson.io (Tim Olson) https://tolson.io/blog/makefiles-simple-docker-apps/ The principle purpose of this blog post is to serve as a first post for my website. Some of what I am doing here may seem a bit vague as this is a quick an dirty explanation to use while I test my blog post model. I would like this to be more thorough but I need to start somewhere.
