esh-pve: NVIDIA 580.178.04 (open modules, DKMS) installed on the host from NVIDIA's .run and loaded live, no reboot. nvidia-persistenced unit creates the device nodes before pve-guests; the T400's vfio-pci ids and `blacklist nvidia` retired. playbooks/esh-pve-nvidia-host.yaml. esh-ml1: CT 110, unprivileged Debian 12, 10.0.50.80, GPU nodes via devN, NVIDIA userspace from the same .run (--no-kernel-modules), docker-ce + nvidia-container-toolkit (no-cgroups). playbooks/esh-ml1-lxc.yaml. Not in the vzdump job on purpose. DNS esh-ml1.esh.internal. stacks/embed-rerank: Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B :8001 + bge-reranker-v2-m3 :8013 on the same vLLM v0.24.0 digest and flags as fv-ml1. Measured parity: embed cosine FV-vs-ESH median 0.999908 (min 0.999772), inside both self-noise floors; rerank max |delta| 0.000145 vs floor 0.000181, identical ranking. litellm: qwen3-embedding and reranker gain an esh-ml1 deployment at order 2 behind fv-ml1 (order 1). Order fallback proven with throwaway groups: refused primary +0.15 s, host-down primary ~18.7 s per call, dead-only 500. Also: repaired the DB-only alias reranker-a3-bge-v2-m3, dead since the fv-ml1 relocation (still named 10.250.50.54); documented the third unkillable homepage wedge on esh-docker-vm.
embed-rerank
The fleet's embedding + reranking models on esh-ml1 (CT 110 on esh-pve,
RTX 2000E Ada). The second site for qwen3-embedding and reranker; fv-ml1's
vllm stack is the first.
| container | model | port |
|---|---|---|
vllm-embed |
Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B |
8001 |
vllm-rerank-bge |
BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-m3 |
8013 |
Keep it in lockstep with stacks/vllm: same models, same VLLM_VERSION,
same --max-model-len. The LiteLLM groups treat the two sites as one model,
so any drift in the embedding model or its version silently mixes
incompatible vectors into consumers' indexes.
Deploy
scripts/deploy-stack.sh esh-ml1 embed-rerank
ssh esh-ml1 'cd /opt/docker/compose/embed-rerank && cp -n .env.example .env && docker compose config -q && docker compose up -d'
Host prerequisites (driver, LXC, docker, toolkit) are in
servers/esh-ml1/README.md.
Smoke test
curl -s http://10.0.50.80:8001/v1/embeddings -H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{"model":"Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B","input":"hello"}' | jq '.data[0].embedding | length' # 1024
curl -s http://10.0.50.80:8013/rerank -H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{"model":"BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-m3","query":"cat","documents":["a cat","a car"]}' | jq '.results[0]'
Parity against fv-ml1 is recorded in the host README; re-measure after any version bump on either side.
