Dgx Spark Setup

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a coherent DGX Spark setup guide with real deployment risks, but the risky commands are visible and aligned with the stated model-serving purpose.

Install only if you are intentionally setting up this specific DGX Spark model-serving stack. Use trusted model files when --trust-remote-code is enabled, review curl installer commands before running them, and confirm you want LiteLLM to auto-start and the machine to join Tailscale.

Missing User Warnings

Finding
The vLLM launch command uses `--trust-remote-code`, which allows model-provided Python code to execute on the host during loading. In a setup guide intended for deployment, this is dangerous because it normalizes arbitrary code execution without any warning, pinning, sandboxing, or provenance checks on the model contents.
