Using Kubernetes as a reverse proxy

Using Kubernetes as the reverse proxy of choice, for non-kubernetes services.

Manifest driven. Source controlled. Redundant. And, DNS records get provisioned automatically as you add or remove services.

Example configuration:

  # ---- media ----
  - {name: plex,       host: plex.kube.xtremeownage.com,     ip: 192.168.5.10,  port: 32400}
  - {name: dupeguru,   host: dupeguru.kube.xtremeownage.com, ip: 192.168.5.2,   port: 7801}
  - {name: filebot,    host: filebot.kube.xtremeownage.com,  ip: 192.168.5.2,   port: 7813}
