My First Cluster Setup
Recently, I've pushed an e-waste/upgrade campaign at my office which allowed me to acquire a little more gear. I've been running docker compose on bare metal for years and wanted to change things up a bit. After putting this together, my plan is to recreate my docker environment with a bit more flexibility, add some more services, and just change things up a bit.
My services that I'll be migrating include the *arr stack, adguard home, qbit/gluetun, npm, and plex/jellyifn (still trying to decide if I want to stick with plex).
Currently I'm using three spare Optiplex SFF, each with a 500gb NVME boot drive and a 500gb HDD for storage. Two out of three nodes have ~32gb of ram while the third has ~16gb. Before I get too far along I'll also be adding a PBS server. I feel like it's a pretty modest setup so far and I'm sure I've made some mistakes, but it already feels like a more sophisticated system. Let me know if anyone has any feedback or questions.
