Setting up Services on Declarative Systems

Setting up Traefik

Setting up Traefik#

Traefik was one of the more difficult services to setup. Every other service comes nearly configured out of the box with few exceptions. Traefik required quite a bit of careful consideration and configuration when setting up.

Because we have configured a default setting within K3s to disable traefik we are not able to name our configuration for traefik traefik.yaml, hence I have named this file traefik-custom.yaml. The reason for this is that k3s sees the traefik.yaml file, checks it’s own confiugration and sees traefik disabled, so it immedietly rectifies by deleting the file.

Setting up Vaultwarden

Setting up Vaultwarden#

*Vaultwarden is a lightweight, self-hosted implementation of the Bitwarden server API.

It lets you run your own password manager backend (instead of using Bitwarden’s cloud service), while still using official Bitwarden clients. It is written in Rust and designed to be resource-efficient, making it suitable for small servers or homelab setups.*

I wanted to show a few services, but for the most part after K3s is up and online the services are self explanitory through code. Each service is likely to vary in its own way, but I wanted to present a few.
