nh3-ml1's first Temperature alert (2026-09-25 2105, 88.8 C) was nh3-pve's CPU
package during the nightly vzdump; the GPU sat at 47 C. hwmon is not namespaced,
so an LXC's agent reports its host's coretemp sensors under the LXC's name.
- hosts/{nh3,esh}-ml1.yaml: SENSORS=-coretemp_*,acpitz (blacklist); GPU and
NVMe temperatures verified still reported.
- Hub: Temperature >95 C / 5 m on nh3-pve and esh-pve for the CPUs (i9-13900H
TjMax 100 C; nh3-pve 2-hour averages reach 88 C on busy days).
- nh3-pve README: runs warmer than esh-pve; workload confounds it, check
airflow on the next visit.
NH3 site visit done: Secure Boot off, iGPU restored as boot VGA, AMT port cabled.
- nh3-pve: NVIDIA 580.178.04 (DKMS, open modules) via pve-nvidia-host.yaml.
- nh3-ml1 = CT 109 @ 10.100.50.80 via gpu-lxc.yaml; embed-rerank (TEI 1.9.4)
deployed with HOST_NAME/HOST_IP labels.
- Parity vs esh-ml1 (1,126 texts, 2 runs/host, controls): embed cosine min
0.999993 = own noise floor; overlap@10 1.000 vs MRL-256 positive control
0.684; rerank top-1 1.00, max diff 0.0014 vs floor 0.0020. On-box speed
identical within rep spread.
- gpu-lxc.yaml: first step upgrades lxc-pve to >= 6.0.0-2 (Proxmox fix#7006).
With 6.0.0-1 every docker run in a nesting CT failed on runc 1.5's sysctl
reopen; applied on nh3-pve (one package).
- pve-nvidia-host.yaml: document that the headers meta drags in the newest
kernel (nh3-pve went 6.8.12-11 -> -43 at the next reboot).
- Monitoring: Beszel NVIDIA agent + 5 alerts, Kuma #29/#30, Homepage
nh3-ml1-docker, Dozzle agent (hub 8 clients). DNS nh3-ml1.nh3.internal.
- nh3-pve README: SB/IGFX/driver/kernel state, btmtk oops on -4x kernels,
AMT cabled but unreachable on the network.
Gateway routing to nh3-ml1 is not changed.
- esh-pve-nvidia-host -> pve-nvidia-host: headers/dkms/build-essential step,
nouveau blacklist + guarded unload (refuses if nouveau bound a device)
- esh-ml1-lxc -> gpu-lxc: host vars have no defaults (elway aborts on undefined),
rootfs storage/startup order parameterized, CT kept out of all-guests vzdump jobs
- embed-rerank: Homepage labels take HOST_NAME/HOST_IP, defaults = esh-ml1
nh3-pve and esh-pve are the same Minisforum MS-01 (BIOS AHWSA.1.17). With a
card in the x16 slot its root port takes bus 01 and every NIC moves down a
bus (measured on esh-pve), so predictable names change (enp2s0f0np0 ->
enp3s0f0np0 etc.) and vmbr0 would boot with no uplink. systemd .link files
now pin all NICs by MAC, baked into every initramfs and synced to the ESP;
udev confirms the files apply. The AMT-capable I226-LM (enp88s0) leaves
vmbr0's bridge-ports in the file (next boot), so cabling it for AMT cannot
loop the STP-less bridge.
Also: documented the NanoKVM (https://10.100.250.171) as nh3-pve's console
OOB and that AMT is not wired; nh3-dev's Beszel agent no longer binds NAS
shares (it died on the last NH3 cold start); post-boot checklist in
persistent-memory.
- Beszel: NVIDIA agent (stacks/beszel hosts/esh-ml1.yaml), hub system
registered with Status/Disk/CPU/Memory/Temperature alerts; GPU samples
verified (RTX 2000E Ada util, VRAM, power, temp).
- Uptime Kuma: health monitors for the TEI embed (:8001) and rerank (:8013)
services — the sole backends behind the gateway, so the one exception to
"seats are out of Kuma's lane". Reward seat excluded (no consumer).
- Homepage: dockerd on tcp/2375 bound to 10.0.50.80 (playbook step);
esh-ml1-docker added to docker.yaml.
- Dozzle: agent v10.4.1 on esh-ml1. The hub's DOZZLE_REMOTE_AGENT still
named ana-ml2's 10.250.50.54 and irv-ml1's retired 10.100.79.3; repointed
to 10.251.50.54 / 10.6.110.50 (fv-ml1 and irv-ml1 logs were missing).
- Documented nh3-dev's Beszel agent failing on NH3 cold start (bind of an
automounted NAS share); revived by hand, fix still open.
