A friend of mine recently asked me to take a look at Nanobus. I guess the first question is what is Nanobus? Allow me to pilfer that definition directly from the Nanobus Overview page. They define it as a lightweight framework for building secure and scalable software services. The next question is what does this really mean? To be honest, I have no idea! I guess we’ll find out together as I’m trying out Nanobus for the first time!...
If you’ve followed my previous posts, you’ll see that I’ve spent some time attempting to build my blog on WordPress and then finally make it static. This had resulted in lots of custom code and even more failed attempts to get things to publish correctly. I’ve finally been successful in building out my site with a combination of some of my failed attempts: Adding Nginx in Front of WordPress Building a Kubernetes Container That Synchs with Private Git Repo Building a Static WordPress The third article above is the most failed attempt to date at making the WordPress site static because it resulted in just as many successes as it did failures....

Also, when crunched for time, it can be very difficult to go back over the code and attempt to make it as pretty as possible. You might also need to make sure other files used by your code are also formatted properly....
I’ve been using DigitalOcean for quite some time now and had recently setup their App Platform to run my website.

Now that I’m beginning to use Github to manage my Kubernetes cluster as shown in my previous article Making The Leap Into Devops, it’s time to start bringing over some of my sample systems for testing. This article shows how to make use of Bitnami’s PostgreSQL helm chart to deploy a sample PostgreSQL database in Kubernetes. I make use of the PostgreSQL DVDRental Sample Database that is available here. In order to incorporate this into my deployment, I have created a public Github called sample_dbs to host my sample databases....
