First part of a new long term home project coming in. An #Ubiquiti PoE+ switch to power a small #Kubernetes cluster built using #raspberrypi nodes. Going to blog about every step once it has been completed. But it is going to be a few quarters long project doing bit by bit
Ok so got some #LEGO_Group to raise the #Ubiquiti PoE+ switch. #LEGO items 10701 and 10717 to have a quick and dirty start for the #Kubernetes cluster housing. Will design a proper housing later. I've never seen a #switch look this good, to be honest 😍
Preferably I'll have them in a ninety degree angle from each other. That should also help with keeping them cool. But in order to do that I need #LEGO Technic and I don't know if #LEGO_Group sells build your own sets like they do with classic lego
Yay! The fine folks at #LEGO_Group seem to have caught up with the custom bricks orders after the holidays zerg 🎉. So I can put together the node #lego enclosures in a few days and start the cluster back up.
This is a first for me! #LEGO_Group put the custom bricks order in a box 😱. Building the node kube's tonight 🎉. Probably powering the cluster back up next week, and hopefully the more space between components should make it require less active cooling
#LEGO_Group This will make sure I can keep the cool external aesthetics of the coloured cables from the switch, without having to pull that throughout the MOC to the nodes (it just makes maintenance also a lot easier): https://toot-toot.wyrihaxim.us/@wyri/111193914559469567
