deploy-airgapped

A deployment skill for installing DeepOps GPU clusters in an air-gapped environment, meaning a network with no Internet access.

In plain words
What is it for?
Preparing offline mirrors, configuring DeepOps, deploying Slurm or Kubernetes GPU clusters, and validating disconnected installations with machine-readable checks.
Why use it?
It addresses the extra preparation needed when packages, container images, charts, and source code must be mirrored and transferred through an approved internal path.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade D, and why

deploy-airgapped scanned grade D with 3 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

sudo mkdir -p /var/repos

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

Deploy DeepOps in an air-gapped environment

Preconditions and boundaries

  • Use an Internet-connected staging machine and a separate provisioning machine that can reach every target and every internal mirror. Do not connect an isolated network to the Internet for this procedure.
  • Fix one DeepOps commit, target OS release, CPU architecture, cluster type, inventory, and enabled feature set before mirroring. Repository and image requirements change when any of these inputs change.
  • Provide complete distribution package mirrors plus internal HTTP package/file service and container registry endpoints. Use trusted TLS where possible; if the registry is intentionally insecure, configure it explicitly.
  • Bootstrap the isolated provisioning machine with the OS packages and Python environment required by scripts/setup.sh before closing the boundary, or provide approved internal OS and Python package indexes. Copying the source tree alone does not install Ansible.
  • Reserve enough storage for repository metadata, packages, container images, charts, the initialized DeepOps checkout, and two copies during transfer.
  • Confirm that every target is fully manageable and has no active users or workloads. Driver installation can reboot hosts.
  • Run DeepOps commands from the repository root. Keep secrets out of archives and store site configuration in config/, never config.example/.

DeepOps does not provide supported mirror-building automation. Do not run scripts/airgap/build_offline_cache.sh: it calls the removed playbooks/airgap/build-offline-cache.yml and cannot complete in this tree. Build and verify the mirrors explicitly as described below.

1. Freeze the deployment inputs

  1. Record the DeepOps commit and initialize every submodule on the connected staging machine:

    git rev-parse HEAD
    git submodule update --init --recursive
    ./scripts/setup.sh
    
  2. Copy config.example/ to config/. Define the real hosts in config/inventory before collecting artifacts so the selected cluster path and optional components are known:

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

deploy-airgapped is a skill published in the GitHub repository NVIDIA/deepops (1,471 stars, last pushed today), licensed BSD-3-Clause. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 11,851 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (asks for root, recursive force delete, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
