Edge Platform on Raspberry Pi 3 Model B

🚀 Project Overview This project captures a practical, reproducible edge platform built on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. It demonstrates platform-oriented practices (ingress, observability, minimal workloads) while remaining lightweight enough for constrained edge hardware. TL;DR: A single-node, container-based edge platform using Docker + Traefik for ingress and Prometheus/Grafana for observability. Designed for reproducibility and learning, not for production scale. Table of contents Overview Goals Hardware & Software Quickstart (commands) Architecture Networking & Ingress (Traefik) Observability (Node Exporter, Prometheus, Grafana) Example workload (whoami) Optimization & Swap Logging & Persistence Security, TLS & Limitations Next steps References 🎯 Goals Build a production-inspired, reproducible edge platform on Raspberry Pi 3 Run and route containerized workloads using a lightweight ingress Provide minimal observability while conserving resources Document the steps so the platform can be recreated via Git/Hugo 🧰 Hardware & Software Hardware ...
