If you’re on here CaptainRedsLab, that’s an amazing rig.

Nb: I am not the creator of this project, I have no affiliation with them and I cannot answer any questions based on their build. I just think it’s cool as a shit and am sharing. YMMV

        I went to a tech convention and a rancher dev had a demo backpack with a 5 node kubernetes cluster and I really wanted it. Just to have fun in a weird nerd sense.
