# Legacy Baremetal VM Cluster

`baremetal/vm-cluster` is no longer the primary local validation path.

Use [`nix/test-cluster`](/home/centra/cloud/nix/test-cluster/README.md) for canonical local VM validation:

```bash
nix run ./nix/test-cluster#cluster -- smoke
```

This directory is kept only for the older manual T036 PXE and bare-metal style experiments.

## What remains here

- [`pxe-server/`](/home/centra/cloud/baremetal/vm-cluster/pxe-server): older PXE server configuration
- [`legacy/`](/home/centra/cloud/baremetal/vm-cluster/legacy/README.md): archived manual deployment, validation, and ad hoc QEMU launch scripts

## Status

- unsupported for regular development
- not the release-validation path
- retained only to preserve old manual experiments
