can you post your cluster setup? I plan on doing this soon, this is what I'm going to mimic: youtube.com
Nolan Phillips
That looks pretty sick man. Any Mikrotik stuff?
Ryder Morgan
by setup I mean list of hardware on the right, and software used on pies used to cluster. os (raspbian?) and how it performs and what you use it for. right now I only have one raspberry pi3 online, but I have two model 3bs, and one original version b, which I want to make the original pi the "main" board to issue out orders and the two pi3s the workers. I don't really need to because pic related but thought it'd be fun.

As a background, I do "IT architecture" for a living (mainly around Office 365, The mini-rack itself was 3D-printed. Windows stuff) so my actual lab server not shown (see below on specs)
Ubiquiti equipment (not all shown):
USG 3P
US-8-60W x2
UAC-AC-PRO
UAC-AC-Mesh x2
UVC NVR (for the UVC-G3 camera I have, and soon to be UVC-G3-PRO I am going to add)
Raspberry Pi x3 (top to bottom):
Home Assistant (home-assistant.io)
PiHole (backup)
PiHole (primary)
Whitebox Server (not shown):
X99 Motherboard (MSI X99 Gaming Pro - z97 is the wrong chipset)
64GB DDR4 2600 RAM
x2 1TB Samsung SSD in RAID 0 off some LSI controller (PCI-E based)
x1 500GB something SSD to hold my templates / ISO files
Lab setups so far on the whitebox:
Exchange 2010 (DC/DNS VM + single Exchange 2010 VM)[used for reading Exchange 2010 logs and testing scripts / issue repro when possible]
Exchange 2013 (DC/DNS VM + single Exchange 2013 VM)[used for reading Exchange 2010 logs and testing scripts / issue repro when possible]
Exchange 2016 (VyOS, DC/DNS VM x2, Exchange 2016 VM x4, KEMP VLM-2000 x2)[POC for Exchange 2016 with cross site availability]
Office 365 (VyOS, KEMP VLM-2000 x2, x2 ADFS VM, x2 ADFS WAP VM, x1 Exchange 2016 VM, x1 Windows 7/Office 2010, x1 Windows 10 LTSB/Office 2016)[this is a POC environment, along with some testing when troubleshooting client issues]
Windows Environment (depends on what I am testing, but usually contains a few Windows Server 2016 or 2012R2 VM for testing various AD scenarios)

what exactly is the point of a tiny server
Ryder Thompson
What's the three raspberries fof
William Johnson
oh so it's not actually a cluster but 3 separate devices for 3 separate use cases? besides the two piholes but backup seems to be still separate although same process. still neat, thanks for sharing. thanks home assistant thing is great, thanks for that.

It's a 3-D printed rack.

Pretty cool. Although I have mixed feelings about the pi cluster.

I´ll fuck that

Why not just one server and virtual machines?

>raspberry pi cluster
But why
You could get the same computing power out of one decent board, plus then you wouldn't need all the networking gear to hook them all up.
Grayson Martin

Asher Perez
>he buys giant room-sized server racks
is it okay if my rack is a tripplite 13u adjustable depth rack that goes under my desk to house my 17-20 inch servers and switches?
am i still minimalist?
Jayden Wood
See top device is a 80 dollar glorified pi.
Noah Ross
>power
>running 3 devices plus extra networking gear uses less power than one device
I think you underestimate just how poor the processing power and i/o on a pi is.
Austin King
How much processing power would you need for that pi anyway? I would only run something like email or IRC on it.
Angel Clark
>How much processing power would you need for that pi anyway
If someone is running 3 of them, clearly they needed more processing power than is available on a single pi.
Charles Gomez
Pis are plenty for low-load email servers or IRC servers.
Lincoln Sullivan
>RPIs instead of Rock64s
Andrew Watson
Unless you need storage, just get some virtual servers. They are cheap and will have way better connectivity than you home setup.
Justin Jenkins
setting up a cloud key server on someone elses server?
and nearly every other home server use is going to be data
Alexander Peterson
>63.5 GB
Anthony Peterson
Not cute enough.
Cooper Gray
>Unless you need storage
why do they not seem to offer VPSes with a bunch of storage, unless you're getting tons of CPU and RAM for a big pile of money along with it? Related to how all the VPS providers seem to be falling all over themselves to get rid of HDDs?
Juan Scott
the cloud, man, like, use the cloud.

i just see no reason why this could ever be useful, especially for the insane price this sort of setup costs
Connor Martin

Raspberry Pis sure are expensive, but the experience you gain of building a cluster of computers can be scaled up to bigger machines.
Whether you use Pis or more powerful SBCs or full fledged PCs the software and configuration is all basically the same, even though the capabilities could be vastly different.
Nicholas James
That's honestly super cute.
What does it.do?
Alexander Cox
yes, i suppose. ive bult clusters before. if this is a education project than i guess its ok. never the less i see quiet a lot of people using a few pis in their home server so question the reasoning
Jayden Rivera
Where's the fun in that
Sebastian Sullivan
>Raspberry Pis sure are expensive
Eh, you can get like 10 pi zeros for $50. Sure, they're dog slow, but you can still learn how to build clusters
Joshua Reyes
yes but why. this is a waste opf money and cluser building isnt that difficult
Ryder Cox
>and cluser building isnt that difficult
It's not, but usually actually doing something once makes doing it a second time a whole lot faster/easier even if it isn't particularly difficult to begin with.
You can do it pretty cheaply, you can even tear it apart after and use them for different projects. It can just be part of your skill set.
