# Metis
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Metis produces fully configured recovery SD cards for any node in the lab (RPi 4/5 workers, control plane Pis, amd64 nodes like tethys, titan-db, titan-jh, future titan-20/21, and non-cluster hosts). Goal: 1 command + insert SD → node rejoins with identical identity, network, k3s role/labels/taints, and pre-baked log/GC drop-ins.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Objectives
|
|||
|
|
- Cross-platform (Linux + Windows) CLI/GUI with dead-simple UX.
|
|||
|
|
- Pull class-specific golden images from Harbor (or other artifact store), inject per-node config, and write/verify SD cards.
|
|||
|
|
- Minimal image set via node classes; inject per-node deltas at burn time.
|
|||
|
|
- Idempotent bootstraps: hostname/IP, k3s server/agent setup, labels/taints, journald/log GC drop-ins, Longhorn mount validation, SSH keys/users.
|
|||
|
|
- Works offline once artifacts are cached; verifies hashes/signatures before writing.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Planned high-level workflow
|
|||
|
|
1) Select target node (from inventory) + target disk.
|
|||
|
|
2) Tool downloads/caches the right golden image for that node class.
|
|||
|
|
3) Injects per-node config (net, k3s tokens/roles/labels/taints, SSH keys, runtime drop-ins, Longhorn mount metadata) and writes SD.
|
|||
|
|
4) Verifies write; prints next-step: "insert and power on." No manual follow-up.
|

## Early design notes
|
|||
|
|
- Implemented in Go for easy static builds and a lightweight GUI (e.g., Fyne or Wails) plus CLI.
|
|||
|
|
- Inventory-driven: node classes (rpi5-ubuntu, rpi4-armbian-longhorn, rpi4-armbian-std, control-plane, amd64-agents, external hosts).
|
|||
|
|
- Extensible per-node hooks for special hardware (Longhorn HDD UUIDs on titan-13/15/17/19; future titan-20/21; oceanus/titan-23; tethys/titan-jh/titan-db).
|
|||
|
|
- Secure defaults: hash checking for downloaded images; avoids ever printing secrets; prepares k3s tokens/certs/keys via sealed source.
|
|||
|

|

|
## Repo layout (initial)
|
|||
|
|
- `cmd/` – CLI/GUI entrypoints
|
|||
|
|
- `pkg/` – shared lib (inventory, imaging, injectors, platform abstraction)
|
|||
|
|
- `docs/` – user/operator docs (this will stay light; working notes live in AGENTS.md untracked)
|
|||
|
|
- `AGENTS.md` – local, untracked working notes (do not add to git)
