At last, I’ve completed the physcial bits of my pi cluster. Well, a few weeks ago but still

It consists of,

  • 1 Raspberry Pi 4, 1GB
  • 4 Raspberry Pi 4, 4GB
  • 1 Raspberry Pi 4, 8GB

The current usages is as followed and subject to change;

  • Pi 1 - redpi - a node-red instance with gpu breakout
  • Pi 2 - unused
  • Pi 3 - unused
  • Pi 4 - web proxy + tailscale node for the services
  • Pi 5 - nextcloud and syncthing
  • Pi 6 - home assistant

All but redpi have ssds. I don’t see a reason to move redpi to a ssd right now but it would be a good idea to setup some sort of backup and restore. For now, I can simply export the flows. if it dies then I’d just find another sd card, install everything, import flows.
