3x N100 mini PCs as k8s control plane+ceph mon/mds/mgr
4x Aoostar R7 "NAS" systems (5700u/32G ram/20T rust/2T sata SSD/4T nvme) as ceph OSDs/k8s workers
Network:
Hodge podge of switches I shouldn't trust nearly as much as I do
3x 8 port 2.5G switches (1 with poe for APs)
1x 24 port 1G switch
2x omada APs
Software:
All the standard stuff for media archival purposes
Ceph for storage (using some manual tiering in cephfs)
K8s for container orchestration (deployed via k0sctl)
A handful of cloud-hypervisor VMs
Most of the lab managed by some tooling I've written in go
Alpine Linux for everything
All under 120w power usage
How are you finding the AooStar R7? I have had my eye on it for a while but not much talk about it outside of YouTube reviews
They've been rock solid so far. Even through the initial sync from my old file server (pretty intensive network and disk usage for about 5 days straight). I've only been running them for about 3 months so far though, so time will tell. They are like most mini pc manufacturers with funny names though. I doubt I'll ever get any sort of bios/uefi update
