This post documents a reproducible DevOps workflow to run a local LLM stack on an Acer Predator laptop (64 GB RAM, RTX 5070 Ti — 12 GB VRAM, 2 TB storage). It covers host preparation, optional GPU passthrough, running Ollama for local inference, creating a lightweight Kubernetes cluster with k3d for the UI, deploying Open WebUI, and automating the stack with Ansible. The automation and manifests referenced live in https://github.com/binarobb/local-llm-stack.
