Hi. I'm the video creator. I didn't even know this was submitted to HN until I saw the view count today. I definitely didn't do it to spam the referral to DO - in the entire time that I've had that referral link, I've made one $25 credit off of it.
I did it because it was the only way I was able to move all of those services off of the DO cluster and into my house, over NAT, without a static IP. Doing so saved me about $3600/year. I think it's an awesome solution and that Tailscale is an awesome product. I've expanded this with other sidecars that enable me to do things like run a local Node Red environment to control and monitor the solar installation on my old property back in Chile while I wait for someone to buy it.
There are a lot of Kubernetes multi-cluster solutions, but they have preconceived notions of how your cluster should look in order for them to work. Dynamic IPs on the edge break everything except for Tailscale. I spent a month going through all of the solutions before settling on this one, and I was positively thrilled to put all this together and share it with the world. I'm thankful for everyone who watched it, and for those who have implemented it.
I worked for Rancher Labs for four years in various roles, including the Director of Community and Evangelism. I currently work as the Head of Developer Relations at Traefik Labs. I've been building internet infrastructure since 1996, with 14 years spent running an MSP that built and managed datacenters for US media companies like Sesame Workshop, Scholastic, BET, Right Media (prior to the Yahoo acquisition), and properties of MTV/Viacom.
Part two of the video is here: https://youtu.be/OIwxIdyZg7A. It's also linked in the end screen, and I've added it to the video description. Thanks for sharing that you were unable to find it.
I'm curious - if you didn't like this video, which I intended to be a tutorial in how to solve a complex issue in under thirty minutes, what would you have liked to see instead?
