Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Hey, I would like to deploy the latest version of Starlingx on Intel NUC12WSKi5 with 32 GB RAM storage, I have Disk1: 2 TB disk and Disk2: 500 GB. According to your documentation, it is required to have a minimum two interfaces, NUC only has single. [Greg] If you are talking just about using Kubernetes on StarlingX. Then you can deploy an AIO-SX server with a SINGLE interface. See https://docs.starlingx.io/node_management/kubernetes/node_interfaces/sriov-p... for a description of how you can share/configure a single interface as SRIOV with VFs attached to 1 or more data networks (i.e. for multus/sriov attachment to container) and the same SRIOV interface whose PF is configured with VLANs attached to platform networks (i.e. mgmt, oam, cluster-host). This is used by some of our customers. If you are talking about using OpenStack on StarlingX, the same SRIOV interface sharing can be used, with 1 or more of the VFs configured as ‘data interfaces’ attached to OVS … and the same SRIOV interface whose PF is configured with VLANs attached to platform networks (i.e. mgmt, oam, cluster-host). HOWEVER … I don’t believe this has ever been tested. That's why I have USB Ethernet. According to this article - https://github.com/marcelarosalesj/learning-starlingx/blob/master/nuc.md<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/github.com/marcelarosalesj/learning-starlingx/blob/master/nuc.md__;!!AjveYdw8EvQ!e4eNrFs5P1svU88tYusEG_JGaM9XHVVKlyzCLQx1xqli7x6Scde5cQOijO1O-U-OI4lX-ziuIScXJ1OX4A$> - I need patch starlingx kernel and create a boot disk (as per my understanding directly downloaded ISO does not have such kernel modules). [Greg] Correct So my question is : - might there be a way to deploy with a single network , and no additional ports required (to play and learn at home in simplex mode)? [Greg] See discussion above about SRIOV Port Sharing - for home lab, might it be better to install proxmox and create a VM and install Starlingx? [Greg] My recommendation would be to use Virtual Box. The MAJORITY of starlingx community members do development testing with a StarlingX Deployment in Virtual Box. See https://docs.starlingx.io/deploy_install_guides/release/virtual/install_virt... - If no, do you have the latest developer document , how can we build a custom iso with USB Ethernet? Now it looks old and for Centos, not debian... Thanks in advance -- Best Regards, Giedrius
