Many thanks and kudos to the most excellent people at Hypriot on their latest release! Hypriot has made Docker on the Pi easy — prior to their distribution it took a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to compile and get Docker working on the Pi. (Trust me!!! Been there, done that, have the t-shirt). …

While at a DevOps Birds of a Feather session at Ohio Linux Fest today I was describing to John Willis (@botchagalupe) my experiments with Docker and the Pi Swarm.

I was running a quick-ish test on a Pi to see how long it would take to churn through 50GB compressed data. This processing consists of: Determining the files to be processed — this …

Docker Swarm supports a variety of methods for discovering swarm members. Each has arguments in its favor. In this post I shall discuss the various methods and thoughts regarding each. Background I originally started with the idea of having a portable cluster, a “cloud in a box” if you will, so that I could go …
