We’ve ported Stacki, our bare-metal x86_64 server installer, to support Raspberry Pis.
The source code and documentation on how to get started can be found at GitHub - Teradata/stacki-ace: Support for ARMv7 (a.k.a., Raspberry Pi 3 Model B).
Additional info can be found here: https://www.stackiq.com/raspberry-pi-cluster/.
Potential Use Cases:
-
You have a cluster of Raspberry Pis and you need an easy way to get their software stacks configured, their network configured and their storage configured.
-
You want to consistently deploy a clustered solution on your Raspberry Pis, for example, distributed storage (e.g., Ceph), container solution (e.g., Kubernetes), parallel programming workload (e.g., MPICH), etc.
-
You want to easily customize the entire software stack for your Raspberry Pi.
-
You need a easy way to support your “Internet of Things” project.
-
You want to install and configure traditional x86_64 servers with a low-cost device.
