Hi all
I know this thread is very old, but it has some good substance to it.
I have PMS running on a raspberry Pi 3, and wish to create a Pi cluster for PMS. Why I here you ask. Because I can, and they are cheap. And my single PMS Pi server works fine on the local network, but it is somewhat under powered over the Internet.
My desired cluster has 6 x Pi 3 devices. Node0 (Master) has my storage array attached and distributed as NFS so all nodes can access it.
Here’s the bit I don’t know about.
How do I configure ALL of the slave nodes?
Do they have to have PMS installed on each of them?
Or can I simply run some kind of distributed computing across all the nodes to make use of their CPUs and have a single instance of PMS?
I’ve looked at PiBramble but this doesn’t seem to suite my need.
I’m also looking at Ansible to deploy everything on the cluster and to keep it up to date.
As mentioned above, my current configuration only uses one of the Pi 3 devices as a stand alone server. But all of the hardware is in place and ready to use.
Any comments would be most helpful.
Regards
Fred
