GenAI k3s Playground (Ollama Pre-Baked) Playground
k3s cluster with the ollama/ollama container image pre-baked into the worker rootfs. k3s auto-imports the image at agent startup so kubelet skips the runtime pull. Built for the "Generative AI in Kubernetes" workshop — Lab 2 (LLM Inference).

k3s cluster with ollama/ollama:latest pre-pulled on node-01 and node-02.
Deploy directly without waiting for the image:
kubectl create deployment llm --image=ollama/ollama:latest --port=11434
A real VM, not a container
Get root on a VM with its own kernel, so Docker, Kubernetes, and systemd just work.

SSH from browser or CLI
Use the built-in web terminal, or connect with labctl ssh, plain ssh, scp, or rsync.

Drive it with AI
Let Claude, Codex, or any MCP client start this playground and run commands in it.
Read the docs →
Expose HTTP(S) ports
Give any web app running inside the VM a public URL - for yourself or to share with others.
Read the docs →
Share terminals
Invite others into your terminal session, or open it yourself from another device.
Read the docs →
Customize with init scripts
Add shell scripts that run at boot to install packages, clone repos, or seed test data.

Private networking
VMs reach the internet via NAT with no public IP; several VMs share bridge networks.
Read the docs →
Ephemeral or persistent
By default, VMs are destroyed when the session ends; enable persistence to keep the disks for next time.

Built-in container registry
A private registry.iximiuz.com for every playground to share images across services and VMs.
