Notes

The rollout from scratch has not been fully automated yet, and generally requires following the process defined in \readme and \kubernetes\scripts folders for the initial setup.

After the initial steps are complete, deployments are handled via ArgoCD application manifests defined in the kubernetes\argocd.

Hardware:

• TrueNAS Scale Host: CPU Intel i5-3470 / RAM 24 GB / 2 x SSD 500 GB MIRROR / 3 x HDD 12TB RAIDZ1 / NVIDIA Tesla P4 / Google Coral TPU M.2
  • VM1: RAM 8GB
  • VM2: RAM 6GB
• (Spare) ProxMox Host: CPU Intel i7-6700 / RAM 16 GB / 1 x NVME 500 GB
  • VM1: RAM 8GB
• Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB
• Upcoming: Compute Blade with CM4 8GB and 500 GB NVME x 4
