A Pi-Powered Plan 9 Cluster

I discovered this article a while ago when I was toying around with using plan 9 as it was designed, as a fully transparent distributed operating system. After reading this article I was a little shocked because the author didn&#x27;t do any configuration or setup for the other machines, so I thought, wow! Plan 9 was so advanced that all you need are multiple machines present on the same network and it will automatically &#x27;clusterize&#x27; them.<p>So I went out to make my own cluster and realized that no, sadly, the author simply did not activate nor configure the other machines at all.<p>I still love plan 9 and still use it on the occasion, but I&#x27;d love more detail on how to actually set up a plan9 cluster and really &#x27;get into&#x27; the power of distributed computing.

What did this have to do with plan 9? This post is mostly about building a cute case and keyboard for 4 raspis. No clustering and almost no plan 9 involved at all.

<i>&gt; The project provided an excuse to make use of a Vortex Core 47-key keyboard, which together with a mini white HDMI monitor, provided a particularly compact and suitably futuristic feeling setup.</i><p>As for me this keyboard doesn&#x27;t seem futuristic at all. It reminds me of the first computer I experienced in my life.[1]<p>I mean, it is lovely keyboard, I really like it. Just &quot;futuristic&quot; is a strange way to describe it. It would be even more nice, if some keys of bright colors were added. Like in MK-61[2]. Though photo in wikipedia doesn&#x27;t capture it (or maybe my memory is wrong), but those blue key was of a so beautiful shade, I really loved it in my childhood and was eager to learn how to use MK-61 just for a joy of using this very key. Yellow and red keys were also likeable but not so much, moreover the function of red key was trivial and I lost interest to it very quickly. But the blue key was beautiful and mysterious... My first love. Maybe I became a programmer due to color of this key.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Electronika_BK" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Electronika_BK</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Elektronika_MK-61" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Elektronika_MK-61</a>

Devine Lu Linvega has been running Plan 9 on a Raspberry Pi for a while: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.xxiivv.com&#x2F;site&#x2F;plan9.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.xxiivv.com&#x2F;site&#x2F;plan9.html</a>

Flagged because a post about a &quot;Pi-Powered Plan 9 Cluster&quot; should at least pay lip service to running Plan 9 or setting up a cluster.

It would have been nice to know how the software side of the clustering was set up. How easy&#x2F;painful was it to let the different pies know they were part of a single cluster, how easy&#x2F;painful was it to have different programs seemlessly use resources from different pies, etc.

The best kind of project. Well done - case, os, keyboard - but for no reason at all.

Does anyone have a link to that monitor? It looks uber cute!

While this looks cool it is far from useful. I took time to build such cluster with the Pies and shortly after it landed in the box of things I may need in the future. It&#x27;s just too slow to do anything useful. Watching stuff compile or even boot was like watching paint dry. It is much better to get a bunch of used NUC if you are space conscious or just get VMWare Workstation or similar tool to simulate number of machines on your desktop.

I think I missed something.<p>Is there any setup required in software for the actual cluster? It looks like there are 4 Pis all running a Pi Plan 9 image, and they&#x27;re wired together via ethernet. But where is the software setup to link them all together? Or does this just happen automatically on Plan 9?

We tried hosting Micro (micro.mu) on Pi last year as a test to create some sort of global distributed network for services. Micro is written in Go and as Plan 9 focuses everything as a file, micro focuses on everything as a service. This post is really fascinating. In some ways the popularity of it makes me think self hosted Pi for cloud services might be viable. Even to the point of designing a packaged solution for devs.<p>For reference <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;micro.mu&#x2F;blog&#x2F;2019&#x2F;12&#x2F;05&#x2F;building-a-microservices-network.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;micro.mu&#x2F;blog&#x2F;2019&#x2F;12&#x2F;05&#x2F;building-a-microservices-ne...</a>

This is great. I’ve had a single machine running for a long time, and a lot of the knowledge is still around, but buried in ancient pages. Having someone write about it and do a little hardware project is sure to spark interest.

Of course those sd card image links are broken. I recommend using the 9front fork which is actively developed with a nearly daily active mailing list and irc channel. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;9front.org&#x2F;releases&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;9front.org&#x2F;releases&#x2F;</a> (please use the torrent links if possible)

Here&#x27;s an old video of a cluster with 3000 RPis:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=78H-4KqVvrg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=78H-4KqVvrg</a>

Something that always bothers me about these Pi clusters is the Ethernet cable lengths. Isn&#x27;t there a minimum length?
