My aim is to take all the old raspberry pi’s I have lying around, and perhaps even some of the old pc’s and use faasd to serve microservices that we develop using a polyglot function-as-a-service approach.
# Story We imagine the following: > In the corridor there is some space for an artwork. We want plants, grow-lights, a camera, and a way to charge the electric bike. I also want to be able to hang some coats. > > On the wall we imagine adding a raspberry pi, that provides a faasd instance. Other circuit boards and old boxes can be added behind this to provide parallel processing and reuse old hardware.
# Questions I have many questions on this journey. I understand that faasd does not lend itself to clustering. Perhaps we want to use openfaas?
# Test For now we look to serve content from Livecode on an old laptop. This laptop is connected to an old tv and used for screening movies and television - so it’s a good place to experiment with wiki-tv. We call this laptop Baby Blue.
We look to tunnel a simple Livecode server running on Baby Blue using Inlets Pro. We will give this server access to ipfs, and look to expose microservices to manipulate video download and ingestion using the Livecode server.
As a first test we look to provide some useful services for the Cornwall Cinema.
