Rename volume

zfs rename r01_1tb/k8s/{current zvol name} r01_1tb/k8s/{new zvol name}

Resize VM disk

sudo dnf install cloud-utils-growpart

sudo growpart /dev/sda 2

sudo pvresize /dev/sda2

sudo lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/mapper/rl-root

sudo xfs_growfs /

Repair iSCSI share

Script

1. Run the following script to start a interactive script that repair the iSCSI share

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/x-real-ip/infrastructure/refs/heads/main/scripts/repair_iscsi_volume.sh | bash

Manually

1. Make sure that the container that uses the volume has stopped.

2. SSH into one of the nodes in the cluster and start discovery

   sudo iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p truenas-master.lan.stamx.nl && \
   read -p "Enter the disk name: " DISKNAME && \
   export DISKNAME
   

3. Login to target

   sudo iscsiadm --mode node --targetname iqn.2005-10.org.freenas.ctl:${DISKNAME} --portal truenas-master.lan.stamx.nl --login && \
   sleep 5 && \
   lsblk && \
   read -p "Enter the device ('sda' for example): " DEVICENAME && \
   export DEVICENAME
   

4. Create a local mount point & mount to replay logfile

   sudo mkdir -vp /mnt/data-0 && sudo mount /dev/${DEVICENAME} /mnt/data-0/
   

5. Unmount the device

   sudo umount /mnt/data-0/
   

6. Run check / ncheck

   sudo xfs_repair -n /dev/${DEVICENAME}; sudo xfs_ncheck /dev/${DEVICENAME}
   echo "If filesystem corruption was corrected due to replay of the logfile, the xfs_ncheck should produce a list of nodes and pathnames, instead of the errorlog."
   

7. If needed run xfs repair

   sudo xfs_repair /dev/${DEVICENAME}
   

8. Logout from target

   sudo iscsiadm --mode node --targetname iqn.2005-10.org.freenas.ctl:${DISKNAME} --portal storage-server-lagg.lan.stamx.nl --logout
   echo "Volumes are now ready to be mounted as PVCs."
   

Rsync

Run a Rsync exact copy

sudo rsync -axHAWXS --numeric-ids --info=progress2 /mnt/sourcePart/ /mnt/destPart

Bitnami Sealed Secret

Raw mode

echo -n foo | kubeseal --cert "./sealed-secret-tls-2.crt" --raw --scope cluster-wide

Create TLS (unencrypted) secret

kubectl create secret tls cloudflare-tls --key origin-ca.pk --cert origin-ca.crt --dry-run=client -o yaml > cloudflare-tls.yaml

Encrypt secret with custom public certificate.

kubeseal --cert "./sealed-secret-tls-2.crt" --format=yaml < secret.yaml > sealed-secret.yaml

Add sealed secret to configfile secret

echo -n <mypassword_value> | kubectl create secret generic <secretname> --dry-run=client --from-file=<password_key>=/dev/stdin -o json | kubeseal --cert ./sealed-secret-tls-2.crt -o yaml \
-n democratic-csi --merge-into <secret>.yaml

Raw sealed secret

strict scope (default):

echo -n foo | kubeseal --raw --from-file=/dev/stdin --namespace bar --name mysecret
AgBChHUWLMx...

namespace-wide scope:

echo -n foo | kubeseal --cert ./sealed-secret-tls-2.crt --raw --from-file=/dev/stdin --namespace bar --scope namespace-wide
AgAbbFNkM54...

cluster-wide scope:

echo -n foo | kubeseal --cert ./sealed-secret-tls-2.crt --raw --from-file=/dev/stdin --scope cluster-wide
AgAjLKpIYV+...

Kubernetes

Drain and terminate all pods gracefully on the node while marking the node as unschedulable

kubectl drain --ignore-daemonsets --delete-emptydir-data <nodename>

Make the node unschedulable

kubectl cordon <nodename>

Make the node schedulable

kubectl uncordon <nodename>

Convert to BASE64

echo -n '<value>' | base64

Decode a secret with config file data

kubectl get secret <secret_name> -o jsonpath='{.data}' -n <namespace>

Create secret from file

kubectl create secret generic <secret name> --from-file=<secret filelocation> --dry-run=client  --output=yaml > secrets.yaml

Restart Pod

kubectl rollout restart deployment <deployment name> -n <namespace>

Change PV reclaim policy

kubectl patch pv <pv-name> -p "{\"spec\":{\"persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy\":\"Retain\"}}"

Shell into pod

kubectl exec -it <pod_name> -- /bin/bash
