BlackRoad Fleet Health Report


Date: 2026-03-29 04:45 CDT
Source: SSH probes + memory system

Fleet Overview


  • Total Nodes: 7 (5 Pis + 2 DO droplets)

  • Online: 2/7 (28.6%)

  • Degraded: 2/7 (reachable, auth failed)

  • Offline: 3/7 (unreachable)
  • Node Details

    ONLINE

    Aria (Pi5 8GB) — 192.168.4.98

  • Status: UP

  • Uptime: 5h 3min

  • Load: 0.09, 0.12, 0.17 (healthy)

  • Role: Compute node

  • Hailo-8: 26 TOPS (if installed)
  • Alice (Pi4 8GB) — 192.168.4.49

  • Status: UP

  • Uptime: 5h 4min

  • Load: 1.01, 1.11, 1.16 (HIGH for Pi4 — investigate)

  • Role: Gateway, Pi-hole, PostgreSQL, Qdrant, Redis, nginx (37 sites)

  • Note: Running too many services for a Pi4. Load consistently above 1.0.
  • DEGRADED

    Gematria (DO nyc3) — 64.227.124.52

  • Status: Reachable but SSH key rejected

  • Error: Permission denied (publickey)

  • Role: Caddy TLS edge (151 domains), Ollama (6 models), PowerDNS (ns1)

  • Fix: Upload SSH public key via DO console or API
  • Anastasia (DO nyc1) — 137.184.54.130

  • Status: Reachable but SSH key rejected

  • Error: Permission denied (publickey,password)

  • Role: Compute node, llama.cpp

  • Fix: Upload SSH public key via DO console or API
  • OFFLINE

    Octavia (Pi5 8GB) — 192.168.4.101

  • Status: DOWN (SSH timeout)

  • Role: Gitea (PRIMARY git host), 15 self-hosted Workers, PaaS, NATS, Docker

  • Impact: CRITICAL — Gitea is the primary git host, all Worker self-hosting down

  • Fix: Physical power cycle required
  • Cecilia (Pi5 8GB) — 192.168.4.96

  • Status: DOWN (no route to host)

  • Role: Ollama (16 models), MinIO (4 buckets), PostgreSQL, InfluxDB

  • Hailo-8: 26 TOPS

  • Impact: HIGH — AI inference fleet leader, object storage

  • Fix: Physical power cycle, check network cable
  • Lucidia (Pi5 8GB) — 192.168.4.38

  • Status: DOWN (SSH timeout)

  • Role: 334 web apps, nginx, PowerDNS, GitHub Actions runners, Ollama

  • Impact: HIGH — web app host, DNS authority

  • Fix: Physical power cycle required
  • Compute Capacity


    | Node | CPU | RAM | Accelerator | Status |
    |------|-----|-----|-------------|--------|
    | Alexandria (Mac) | M-series | 16GB+ | Metal GPU | Active |
    | Aria | Cortex-A76 4-core | 8GB | — | Online |
    | Alice | Cortex-A72 4-core | 8GB | — | Online (overloaded) |
    | Octavia | Cortex-A76 4-core | 8GB | Hailo-8 (26T) | Offline |
    | Cecilia | Cortex-A76 4-core | 8GB | Hailo-8 (26T) | Offline |
    | Lucidia | Cortex-A76 4-core | 8GB | — | Offline |
    | Gematria | DO vCPU | 2GB+ | — | Auth failed |
    | Anastasia | DO vCPU | 2GB+ | — | Auth failed |

    Available compute: Alexandria + Aria + Alice = ~30% of fleet
    Offline compute: 52 TOPS Hailo, 16 Ollama models, 334 web apps, Gitea, NATS

    WireGuard Mesh


  • Previously 12/12 connections verified

  • Current: Unknown — need online nodes to verify

  • Likely degraded with 3 Pis and 2 droplets inaccessible
  • Recommendations


    1. IMMEDIATE: Physical reboot of Octavia, Cecilia, Lucidia
    2. IMMEDIATE: Fix SSH keys for Gematria and Anastasia via DO console
    3. INVESTIGATE: Alice load 1.01 — may need service offloading
    4. MONITOR: Aria is healthy but underutilized
    5. CONSIDER: UPS/watchdog timers for Pi fleet to prevent this state
