Monitoring the boat network with SignalK
A modern boat without internet is a boat without weather, messages and half of its brains. The router sits on top of the mast where you can’t look at its lights, so it needs an eye: a Signal K dashboard that shows what the boat network is doing, and two buttons to kick the internet when it hangs.

Installing Mikrotik LAMP R16 on a sailboat
Marina Wi-Fi is a myth and a phone hotspot dies the moment the phone leaves the boat. So the boat got its own 5G router: MikroTik LAMP 5G R16. This is how to set it up from zero with one script that survives being run over whatever mess is already on the router.

Making a dumbest tablet a navigation device with NMEA
Used tablets are cheap and everywhere, and most of them have no GPS at all. A chart app without a position is just a very expensive paper chart. So let’s make the boat’s 5G router tell the tablet where it is, over Wi-Fi, with NMEA and a tiny container.

IV: Deploy kafka (RedPanda actually) to our k3d cluster
Actual kubernetes-native apps often communicate not directly, but by sending messages to each other. The most common messaging apps for them are RabbitMQ, Redis (despite it’s actually a caching thing) and Kafka. In this case we’ll deploy a lighter Kafka alternative — Red Panda — which is much simpler in deployment, wa-ay less resource-greedy, but fully compatible with the original Kafka protocol.

A little bit of luck and precise timing to make the best "MiR" boat photo for the friend.

Three-masted vessel — Montenegro navy's flagship "Jadran". Built 1931, started service 1933. Now serves mostly as a floating museum moored to the Tivat central pier and partially as a sightseeing recreational yacht.
