What's New?

I didn’t quite plan to turn this little mini-site into a running blog or capture a CHANGELOG, but as it turns out… I keep playing with this thing and improving it just for fun. I haven’t given any thought to the idea of versioning or generations of Labinator, so this list more or less is an ad hoc pseudo-changelog that captures realtively noteworthy additions as I work on it.

Mid ‘25

After launching Labinator, some stuff didn’t work well or at all (notably: the first on in the list below was a breaker) so I lugged the lab back to my lab so I could hack on it some more.

• Fix - Expired certs due to not being used. This thing was designed to be played with all the time
• Create a way to add/change application load in Kubernetes
• Show more node-specific stuff on the status page
• Fix - Dramatically increase reliability of launching labs
• Make it easier to lug Labinator around
• Squash a bunch of edge case concurrency bugs in labwatch
• Add the ability to inject network failures into the lab for optimal chaos
• Create a Kubernetes watcher so we can see pod information (like where they run)
• Stitch labwatch directly into the OTel collector log stream rather than Loki
• Redesign the power wire top and bottom mounts because the stupid front kept falling off
• Add a watcher for LAN/WAN in and out packets and push the stats to statusinator
