wyri, 1 year ago to Ubiquiti

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

Probably the most boring part of the cluster arrived for the first node, SATA to USB for the SSD connector:

Looking at #Rancher_Labs' #k3s and this looks like a good fit for my cluster 😱. The #longhorn storage is also worth considering.

Wohooo the #SSD for the first node just arrived! Will build a casing around it and the pie tomorrow.

The only thing that's left are the PoE+ hats, which should arrive next week.

Ow and pro-tip don't send orders from your webshop with what's in on the packaging/envelope

The #SSD holder was very straightforward and even let's me lock it in thigther than the RPI

Adding the RPI on top wasn't much of a hassle either. But the tension on the #USB cable is something I would rather avoid

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

Reference shot with the switch. Building a temporary spot on the board for the master node tomorrow

Started the first, temporary, placement prototyping. Started with the node position:

Which is fine until I realised I also needed to put the storage closer due to cable length. So I moved it a bit closer and also adjusted the storage to a bit more forward:

This ended up working out well, nice bonus of barely any tension on the USB cable between the node and storage:

The last thing I did for today is making sure storage is stable. (Although I doubt it would have fallen over.) Now the wait is on for #kiwielectro ship the PoE+ hats for the master node.

It arrived, and isn't this the tiniest network cable you've ever seen?!

The PoE+ hat isn't super impressive, but tiny enough to fit on it without making the RPI look bigger
