Five (5) Raspberry Pi 5 and Three (3) NVidia Jetson Orin Nano Setup and Configuration Steps.

Flynn · Oct 9, 2025

If you want, I can package these into a single repo tree snapshot and hand you a tarball next—just say the word and I’ll regenerate the whole thing as a single drop-in bundle.

# This script creates a complete "empire-node" repo snapshot with the files discussed,
# zips it, and returns a downloadable path.

import os, textwrap, json, zipfile, pathlib

base = pathlib.Path("/mnt/data/empire-node")
def write(path, content):
p = base / path
p.parent.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
p.write_text(textwrap.dedent(content).lstrip("\n"), encoding="utf-8")

# Empire Node — Turn-Key Repo Snapshot

This bundle matches the step-by-step plan: k3s on Raspberry Pi 5 + Jetson Orin, base services (PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Mosquitto, Cloudflared, Observability) and an application stack (Django **llc-portal**, **ai-governor**, **celery worker**, **notifier**).

## Quick Start (high level)
1. Fill in secrets in `deploy/k8s/*secrets*.yaml` and `.env` (copy from `.env.example`).
2. Run Ansible playbooks in `infrastructure/ansible` to bootstrap nodes and install k3s.
3. Apply base services in `deploy/k8s` (namespaces, postgres, rabbitmq, mosquitto, cloudflared, nvidia device plugin).
4. Build/push or locally load container images (examples use `ghcr.io/steve/...`; swap to your registry or use `image: python:3.11-slim` with `command`).
5. Deploy apps: `ai-governor.yaml`, `llc-portal.yaml`, `worker.yaml`.
6. Verify health endpoints and login to Django admin.
7. (Optional) Install Prometheus/Grafana/Loki via Helm as outlined in the plan.

## Tree
- `infrastructure/ansible/...` (inventory + playbooks)
- `deploy/k8s/...` (manifests)
- `deploy/dev/docker-compose.yml` (local dev)
- `services/llc-portal/...` (Django app)
- `services/ai-governor/...` (FastAPI)
- `services/worker/...` (Celery worker)
- `services/notifier/...` (Twilio notifier)
- `.env.example`

Follow the numbered instructions from our chat to bring the cluster up.

Done. I packaged everything into a single drop-in repo snapshot with all file names and full code.

Download the repo (empire-node.zip)

Quick use:

Unzip and cd empire-node.

Edit infrastructure/ansible/group_vars/all.yml (set your cluster_token, IPs) and secrets in deploy/k8s/*secrets*.yaml plus .env (copy from .env.example).

Run Ansible playbooks (bootstrap → nvidia-runtime → k3s).

kubectl apply -f deploy/k8s/namespaces.yaml then apply the other manifests (postgres, rabbitmq, mosquitto, cloudflared, nvidia-device-plugin).

Build or swap images in deploy/k8s/* if you’re not using GHCR, then kubectl apply -f deploy/k8s/ai-governor.yaml and deploy/k8s/llc-portal.yaml.

Hit https://llc.yourdomain.com/api/hello and POST to https://ai.yourdomain.com/ask after wiring Cloudflare Tunnel.

If you want me to regenerate with your exact IPs, domain, and container registry, say the word and I’ll ship a customized bundle.
