Deployment¶

Haris is designed to move from hardware bench to sealed vessel install through a repeatable process.

Deployment Flow¶

1. Prepare the node.
2. Load vessel-specific configuration.
3. Run the automation playbooks.
4. Validate telemetry flow and harden the deployment.

Prepare the Node¶

• Assemble the Raspberry Pi, PiCAN-M HAT, storage, and networking hardware
• Flash and harden the operating system
• Confirm local interfaces and device assumptions

Load Vessel-Specific Configuration¶

• Set host variables
• Add Tailscale credentials
• Configure Signal K settings
• Capture vessel-specific deployment assumptions

Run the Playbooks¶

ansible-playbook playbooks/group_vessel_edge/main.yml -D
ansible-playbook playbooks/group_msoc_core/main.yml -D

Use Watchtower to apply the Haris, Tailscale, ELK, Node-RED, and supporting system roles consistently.

Validate and Harden¶

• Confirm telemetry flow from vessel edge to core services
• Verify tunnel reachability and service health
• Check log ingestion and dashboards
• Seal the enclosure only after the node behaves as expected
