I have a small VPS that hosts some services I use daily and I’d like to migrate that to a K8s cluster. One of the services being hosted is my personal website, built with Hugo and served by Caddy.

Right now, I have the code for my website on Codeberg and I have a CI pipeline that builds the website and uploads it to my VPS via rsync.

I want to move the website to the k8s cluster, but I have no idea how to do it “securely”. What I have right now is a separate user on my VPS called deploy and it rsyncs the files to the data directory Caddy is using to serve my files.

I thought I could do the same on the k8s cluster server, but it’s usually not a good idea to mount host paths with k8s unless absolutely necessary, because container escaping is an actual problem.

So far the only alternative I could think of is to change the CI pipeline to publish my website on another branch and signal it to my K8s cluster so the files should be updated, but I’d like to know what better options exist and how easy they are to setup.

    Static website? Upload to S3 via CI and serve it from there.

    It’ll cost cents per month.

    K8s is obscene overkill.

    I assume all the cloud vendors have an S3 equivalent.

        I don’t like Cloudflare and I try to steer away from them.

        Using Codeberg/GitHub/GitLab pages was an option as well, but I wanted to have it self-hosted so I have more flexibility and I get to use and customize Caddy to my liking.
