I recently received my Compute Blade kickstarter backer rewards, enough for a 4 node cluster. This document is to outline what I needed to do in order to have them PXE boot. netboot.xyz To start with I have deployed an instance of netboot.xyz to my network, in my case it’s running on a Raspberry Pi 3b that I already have on my network. It was a pretty simple job to get an instance running as it already has container images that can be run with your chosen runtime, in this case docker....

The getting started guide for kubeadm can give you more information about the tool itself, I’ll outline the steps here but feel free to go to that getting started guide. There are a few blog posts out there that discuss doing this and suggest using hypriot (because docker didn’t officially support the arm architecture) as the OS to use....
