Doc review (last-reviewed 2026-06-04):
- cluster.md: k8s v1.34.0→v1.35.0; ringtail workload list updated for
  the in-progress minikube→k3s migration
- ntfy/tempo/alloy: images are now locally-built registry.ops.eblu.me
  nix containers (v2.19.2 / v2.10.3 / v1.16.0); Fly alloy binary v1.16.1

Service review:
- nvidia-device-plugin v0.19.0→v0.19.2 (upstream patch, no breaking
  changes for our CDI + RuntimeClass manifests)

Kubernetes Cluster

BlumeOps runs two Kubernetes clusters: a Minikube cluster on indri (most services) and a k3s cluster on ringtail (GPU workloads, notifications). Both are managed by argocd on indri.

Cluster Specifications

Property Value
Driver docker
Container Runtime docker
Kubernetes Version v1.35.0
CPUs 6
Memory 11GB
Disk 200GB
API Server https://k8s.tail8d86e.ts.net

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

Volume Mounting

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

Registry Mirror

Containerd uses zot as a pull-through cache at host.minikube.internal:5050.

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

K3s on Ringtail

Single-node k3s cluster for workloads requiring amd64 or GPU access. See ringtail for cluster specs, workload list, and secrets management.

Property Value
Context k3s-ringtail
API Server https://ringtail.tail8d86e.ts.net:6443
Workloads GPU workloads (Frigate, Ollama), notifications (ntfy, frigate-notify), authentik, and services migrated off indri minikube (Immich, Mealie, Paperless, TeslaMate). See ringtail for the authoritative list.

Services are being progressively migrated from indri's minikube to ringtail's k3s; the split above reflects an in-progress state, not a fixed boundary.
