# Kubernetes Cluster

Single-node Minikube cluster running on [[infrastructure/hosts\|Indri]].

## Cluster Specifications

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| **Driver** | docker |
| **Container Runtime** | docker |
| **Kubernetes Version** | v1.34.0 |
| **CPUs** | 6 |
| **Memory** | 11GB |
| **Disk** | 200GB |
| **API Server** | https://k8s.tail8d86e.ts.net |

**Prerequisites:** Docker Desktop with at least 12GB memory allocated.

## Remote Access

From gilbert:

```bash
mise run ensure-minikube-indri-kubectl-config
```

Fish abbreviations:
- `ki` -> `kubectl --context=minikube-indri`
- `k9i` -> `k9s --context=minikube-indri`

## Volume Mounting

Pods mount NFS directly from [[storage/sifaka\|Sifaka]]:

```yaml
volumes:
  - name: torrents
    nfs:
      server: sifaka
      path: /volume1/torrents
```

Docker NATs outbound traffic through indri's LAN IP (192.168.1.50), allowing access to Sifaka's NFS exports.

## Registry Mirror

Containerd uses [[services/zot\|Zot]] as a pull-through cache:
- Endpoint: `host.minikube.internal:5050`
- Config: `/etc/containerd/certs.d/<registry>/hosts.toml`

Mirrors configured: `registry.ops.eblu.me`, `docker.io`, `ghcr.io`, `quay.io`

## Useful Commands (on indri)

```bash
minikube status          # Cluster status
minikube start           # Start cluster
minikube stop            # Stop cluster
minikube ssh             # SSH into node
minikube logs            # View logs
```
