NST Compute Cluster

A 5-node on-premise cluster at Newton School of Technology — built from scratch, documented for learning.

Real Infrastructure

Five physical machines running Kubernetes, not a cloud sandbox. You deploy here, it runs on actual hardware sitting in the campus server room.

Every app you deploy gets a public URL at *.nstsdc.org via Cloudflare Tunnel — no static IP, no port forwarding, no router access needed.

This cluster was set up step-by-step as a learning exercise. The docs walk through every decision, every mistake, and every fix.

Use NST Init to deploy your containerized apps, or go hands-on with kubectl. JupyterHub for notebooks, Overleaf for LaTeX, Minecraft for breaks.
