Pi-Hole is a great Self-Hosted DNS Service. It keeps ads from loading, and will run as a Docker container or virtual machine you'd like. You can also completely bypass 3rd party DNS servers like 8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1, 208.67. 222.222, or the ones ran by your ISP.
Linux VM (in this tutorial we are using Debian 11)
Install Pi-Hole
sudo curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash

Argo CD is a declarative continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes applications. It uses the GitOps style to create and manage Kubernetes clusters. When any changes are made to the application configuration in Git, Argo CD will compare it with the configurations of the running application and notify users to bring the desired and live state into sync.
Argo CD has been developed under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation’s (CNCF) Argo Project- a project, especially for Kubernetes application lifecycle management. The project also includes Argo Workflow, Argo Rollouts, and Argo Events.. Each solves a particular set of problems in the agile development process and make the Kubernetes application delivery scalable and secure.
kubectl create namespace argocd
kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/stable/manifests/install.yaml
By default, Argo CD polls the Git repositories every 3 minutes to detect the changes made on the repo. If you want to remove the delay, you can configure a webhook event to send a notification to the API server.
Login to your Github repository and navigate to settings > webhooks and click add webhook
The payload URL is your ArgoCD Server + /api/webhook
For example.
https://argocd.example.com/api/webhook
Customize your terminal using iTerm2, oh-my-zsh and powerlevel10k works on both Macbook Intel and Macbook M1.
The Missing Package Manager for macOS
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
iTerm2 has better color fidelity than the built in Terminal, so your themes will look better.
The easiest ways to create the Kubernetes secret is by using the kubectl command and --from-literal flag. For example to understand Kubernetes secret creation we need three things.
kubectl create secret generic test-secret --from-literal=username=test-user --from-literal=password=testP@ssword
