Pi Lab Upgrades

This post has been archived. The content may be out of date or no longer maintained.

It has been bothering me that the production nodes for Pi Lab were not the same specs so I have finally decided to do some upgrades. I also didn't like that the BOINC Node only had 2GBs of RAM. So I also decided to re-organize things a bit.

So here is what has changed.

  • The Node-Red Node switched with the Load Balancer Node in the Pi Lab Web Cluster
  • The two Pi 4 4GBs from the Pi Lab Web Cluster were swapped with the BOINC Node and Resteamer Node
  • I purchased three new Pi 2GBs to replace three of the Pi 2s in the Pi Lab Web Cluster

Now the Pi Lab Web Cluster is using all Pi 4 2GBs for all nodes

I was very excited at how easy it was to move things around. I simply ran the following on each node before moving the SD card to ensure everything was the latest and greatest.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Other than having to update some port forwards and what not for IP changes that was it.
