Retiring kube-proxy IPVS on MicroK8s: An Upgrade Readiness Runbook

Mon, 26 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A focused runbook for checking whether a MicroK8s cluster needs an IPVS migration before its next Kubernetes minor upgrade.

Scope and outcome

This is not a general CNI replacement guide and it does not change Traefik, IngressRoutes, or application manifests. It covers one question: does this cluster run kube-proxy in ipvs mode, and if so, can it move safely to iptables before the next MicroK8s minor upgrade?

Self-Host Honcho on Kubernetes with LiteLLM, Redis, and GitHub Copilot

A self-hosted memory service for Hermes, with LiteLLM as the model gateway and GitHub Copilot as an upstream provider.

Illustrative configuration only

Every hostname, namespace, IP address, image version, model name, key and resource value in this guide is an example. Do not paste it into a production cluster unchanged. Create your own secrets outside Git, verify the current upstream image and model names, and apply your own network, backup and update policies.

Architecture at a glance

MicroK8s with Traefik: Public and Private Application Deployment

MicroK8s Home Lab with Traefik Ingress

Summary

This guide walks through setting up a complete MicroK8s cluster on Ubuntu with Traefik as the ingress controller. The architecture supports two types of applications: public apps exposed to the internet via Cloudflare DNS and TLS, and private apps accessible only from the local network. We’ll deploy containerized workloads running inside Kubernetes pods, proxy traffic to external hosts, and set up monitoring dashboards—all managed through declarative YAML manifests.
