riptide is a worker node in the folly Kubernetes cluster with an Intel GPU for pods. It runs Talos Linux, and clusters/folly/talos/ configures it.

What it runs#

  • Pods. jellyfin claims the Intel GPU as gpu.intel.com/i915. The i915 system extension in the cluster's Image Factory schematic carries the driver.

Reach#

Reach it at riptide.lolwtf.ca with talosctl --context folly --nodes riptide.lolwtf.ca. It runs no SSH server.

Quirks#

  • The data volume at /var/mnt/data holds jellyfin's media and the local-path volumes on riptide.
  • The Intel GPU plugin in clusters/folly/nodes/ makes no /dev/dri/by-path links. A dangling link there fails each pod that claims the GPU with CreateContainerError.
