I run Coder (a development environment platform) in my homelab Kubernetes cluster, with the PostgreSQL database hosted in Azure. The networking setup uses Tailscale to connect my homelab to Azure resources through a subnet router VM. Everything was working fine until I migrated to a new Azure subnet router—then Coder went down hard.
Coder was crash-looping with 693 restarts over 22 days. The logs showed:
