New to Servers/Clustering. Please help - Raspberry Pi Forums


hi,

i'm relatively new raspberry pi, , home servers , networking. hoping point me in right direction, offering few tips/experiences , links understand do.

basically, set raspberry pi cluster of 3 raspberry pis file server, network storage/backup server, home media server, , web server. understand performance limited, really learn , understand servers , networking.
how can setup these types of servers in cluster? can load balance in way?
host these servers on each different raspberry pi, learn load-balancing , how can achieved in cluster.
common applications clusters? can used in situation?
how can set these servers ?
how can raspberry pis communicate each other, if have situation 1 raspberry pi hosting webpage while other contains database (or other similar situation)?
these of many questions. however, hope answers/links address these questions answer other questions.
again, understand performance not best, okay, since used educational purposes.

eager learn, , welcome insight, experiences, examples, links, answers etc. sure there more accomplishing , understanding these concepts.

*edit, found 1 link seems pretty useful: http://raspberrywebserver.com/raspberry ... uster.html

clustering varies application. example, database software has clustering add on. can set databases in master/slave configuration. web servers set router spreading requests on group of servers.

using file serving example, first decision redundancy. might set server receive files use rsync replicate server b , server c. create server equivalent raid 1 storage. if 1 server fails, contains identical data.

using other file serving configurations, can create equivalent of raid 0 or raid 5 data spread maximum speed or maximum space.

3 servers, @ maximum redundancy, raid1 style approach. database 1 master , 2 slaves.

more servers, 6 servers, @ software dedicated database clustering mariadb galera cluster , open source openstack cloud.
