This week I was able to complete some of my goals, however I did not get all of the backend services of the tech stack working yet. Fortunately, all of the networking issues that I was dealing with last week are now resolved. I have had success getting the cluster of raspberry pi boards working together and running K3S so that I can deploy my services using kubernetes.
For the upcoming week, I want to get the backend services of my stack deployed and visible on my network so that I can do some testing before building the larger app. I’m hoping that the setup will go smoothly since many of these services are designed to work together.
I think my biggest challenge will be actually deploying everything correctly. I have used docker to run multiple containers before, but using kubernetes or docker compose is a little more complicated, and a little beyond anything that was covered in our coursework. Additionally, I was fortunate enough to get access to the Nvidia GTC 2026 exhibit hall this week, so my time is somewhat limited.
