First part of a new long term home project coming in. An PoE+ switch to power a small cluster built using nodes. Going to blog about every step once it has been completed. But it is going to be a few quarters long project doing bit by bit

Looking at ' and this looks like a good fit for my cluster 😱. The storage is also worth considering.

Wohooo the for the first node just arrived! Will build a casing around it and the pie tomorrow.

The only thing that's left are the PoE+ hats, which should arrive next week.

Ow and pro-tip don't send orders from your webshop with what's in on the packaging/envelope

The holder was very straightforward and even let's me lock it in thigther than the RPI

Adding the RPI on top wasn't much of a hassle either. But the tension on the cable is something I would rather avoid

Preferably I'll have them in a ninety degree angle from each other. That should also help with keeping them cool. But in order to do that I need Technic and I don't know if sells build your own sets like they do with classic lego

Reference shot with the switch. Building a temporary spot on the board for the master node tomorrow

Started the first, temporary, placement prototyping. Started with the node position:

Which is fine until I realised I also needed to put the storage closer due to cable length. So I moved it a bit closer and also adjusted the storage to a bit more forward:

This ended up working out well, nice bonus of barely any tension on the USB cable between the node and storage:

The last thing I did for today is making sure storage is stable. (Although I doubt it would have fallen over.) Now the wait is on for ship the PoE+ hats for the master node.

It arrived, and isn't this the tiniest network cable you've ever seen?!

The PoE+ hat isn't super impressive, but tiny enough to fit on it without making the RPI look bigger

It turned on! Except it didn't like the image on the SD card (probably)

Well doh!

For those interested, the set up to see the error (this is Ubuntu 21.04 server, which is either stuck or very slowly booting)

amd64 image is looking promising!

And barely using power! (Ok ok it's idle and not using the SSD yet.)

wyri,
@wyri@haxim.us avatar

Ow and of course the power usage is graphed:

@wyri@haxim.us avatar

Alright! Take over cluster from @ocramius just came in from Germany. This should speed up the project, plus makes it makes slightly repurposing those nodes in the future easier. (Yes there is a plan beyond jus the cluster and it's housing.)

@wyri@haxim.us avatar

Powerup test successful! It's interesting to see the idle watts usage difference between the RPI 3 (port 5) and RPI 4 (port 8)

And exactly this is why I want to use Technic for the skeleton. (Moved it from the box it was on the yellow thing it's on right now. The grey underplate is now fully resting on the surface it's on.))
