Raspberry-pi-dramble Alternatives

raspberry-pi-dramble reviews and mentions

• Why is it so hard to find a 5 port PoE switch where all 5 ports are PoE?

  https://www.pidramble.com - but you do need to power the router. 5th port is an uplink

• Heatsinks for Raspberry Pi cluster with PoE
  1 project | /r/homelab | 7 Apr 2022

  Don't bother. Just put them on an open stack and blow a quiet Noctua fan sideways through the stack. I used to have a four-pi4 cluster ala https://www.pidramble.com and one fan blowing back to front was easily good enough. I also removed the fans from the official PoE HATs since they sounded like rocket engines no matter what I did.

• How would I power multiple RPI's?
  1 project | /r/homelab | 2 Apr 2022

  There's no rack, it's simply on the corner of my desk. I haven't made photos of it but it looks pretty much like Jeff Geerling's Dramble: https://www.pidramble.com/

• Considering building a NUC k8s cluster, looking for inspiration
  1 project | /r/homelab | 2 Dec 2021

  Had a pi 'dramble' just like this one and it worked fine. I ran k3s at the time on it. Since it was a lab experimentation thing, I didn't throw more hardware at it, but I could have likely gotten similar results with a bunch of Vagrant/VirtualBox VMs on one NUC.

• Pi k8s! This is my pi4-8gb powered hosted platform. 8 pi4s for kubeadm k8s cluster, and one for a not so 'nas' share. I use gitlab runners with helmfile to manage my applications. Running over a year and finally passed the CKA with most of my practice on this plus work clusters. AMA welcome!

• You did WHAT with Ansible?! Automate the Uncommon (my AnsibleFest 2021 Presentation)

  Automate the Pi Dramble website I run in my basement with Drupal Pi.

• A quick write-up of my current setup with a Raspberry Pi 4
  6 projects | /r/selfhosted | 13 Sep 2021

  How is latency and stuff? Any slowness that you wouldn't expect from the software that may come from running it on a rpi4? I've been thinking of setting up a few services, but I kinda want to do something like the Pi Dramble, wasn't even aware that a single pi would have the power to run all of these services. Though I'm not actually surprised it does.

• Creating a modular pi cluster?
  1 project | /r/RASPBERRY_PI_PROJECTS | 22 May 2021

  A couple years ago when I thought I'd have to get into kubernetes for a living, I built a 4x4GB pi4 cluster with the exact parts list from Jeff Geerling's "dramble" setup (link) and did a bunch of experimentation with k3s as a lightweight cluster solution. Worked pretty amazingly for things like "spin me up 10 more of those things" and for moving things around to upgrade the SD card on the 3rd pi while keeping the services running on the other pi. But I don't need to do kubernetes for a living so the cluster is just sitting here collecting dust powered-down basically.

• Kubernetes 20 Pi cluster
  4 projects | /r/homelab | 16 Apr 2021

  I see this kind of question asked a lot when people are posting their Kubernetes Pi clusters. The rpi 4 quad core with 4-8GB RAM gives a lot of potential for the price in a kuberenetes setup I feel. I found the pi dramble project interesting, and even more the turing pi using rpi compute modules. Are NUCs really a cheaper alternative for a kubernetes cluster, every time I start try to come up with something I end up with a far more expensive setup and fewer cores. Any hints on viable setups, e.g. replacing 4x POE powered RPI 4's.?

• My PoE Pi Cluster.

  My setup is exactly the same as the top photo on https://www.pidramble.com just with the stack'o'pi zip-tied to the switch so I can move it around without the things sliding around.
