Taking my Raspberry Pi Supercomputer off-grid

[@JeffGeerling]

All good things must come to an end-the site was handling a spike in traffic from HN quite well, but then someone pointed a DDoS cannon at it, and it's been blasted by over 40 Mbps of continuous traffic (all POST requests so it bypasses cache) for over an hour now. Now that I put Cloudflare in front, I am seeing over 6 million botnet POST requests per hour (in addition to some other traffic I haven't quite filtered). Ah well. At least it's back up and running!

I remember a few years ago, I was visiting Vodafone HQ and saw a bunch of big metallic suitcases, I was told these were portable base stations on standby, ready to be deployed anywhere in the world where there would be a disaster. Designed to act as relay cellular base station to provide emergency communication, beamed from satellites in orbit acting as the backend infrastructure. I thought that was pretty cool.

[@the_beefy1986]

@jeff you might consider using stunnel to do point-to-point TCP tunneling. SSH can be a bit finicky for long-running tunnels. I know that's why you're using autossh, but you might get a better experience using a purpose-built solution rather than a "band-aid" one. Another good option is an overlay network like ZeroTier, which can be configured for L2 bridging or L3 routing configurations :)

It's about time that Green Shirt Jeff made an appearance! Looking forward for the next project, a Pi based cow position system with LoRa comms so the farmer always knows where the cows are and how much exercise they had :-)

[@annakissed3226]

That would be insanely useful for farmers trying to mob graze If someone hasn't implemented this please do so Mob grazing is one of the most powerful ways to reverse climate change #Savory

[@cesarposadasatamusic]

track methane output of each individual cow by LoRa

[@noahluppe]

@Jim McIntosh you surely need sth battery powered, but PiZero is overkill, some small microcontroller (Arduino, ATTiny, ESP) would be enough and probably more energy efficient. One could also think about passive radio locators, where the active part is in the base station.

[@jg374]

I haven't done tracking of individual cows, but I did build a system for monitoring a pressure pump, controlling an electric fence on a farm and detecting water during irrigating (with room for expansion) and it has definitely been useful, picking water leaks within a few hours rather than several days of wondering if the pump sounds like it is running more than usual :). In this case, it uses a raspberry pi for the base station running thingsboard, some old picaxe microcontrollers for each device (attiny or atmega would be just as good, if not better) and lora radios to link them. GPS tracking would probably be pretty similar in infrastructure I would think.

[@annakissed3226]

@@cesarposadasatamusic why would you need to? The only context where cattle produce large amounts of methane is if they are eating a bad diet of the unusable by humans vegetable waste left from Arable food production combined with limited movement. If cows eat grass they produce relatively little methane also if the grass is long, which it is what you aim for on rotational mob grazing it is also wet which absorbs any methane production. Which is the context where tracking & making sure cows are in all together in a large mob or herd, not spread apart where they can under/over graze the land Also when water usage is compared between arable production & ruminant production the water usage is not comparable. As rain is not counted in arable production but it is counted in ruminant production.

[@SoundOfWaveform]

Now this is a fun project. Sorry to hear that it did not go according to plan but pushing boundaries like this is where you really expand your knowledge. As a network engineer I will give one thought. SSH tunnels are a simple solution but you will have inconsistent performance due to something called the TCP meltdown problem. Both SSH and HTTP run on TCP and when you stack TCP on itself the congestion control mechanisms of each stream fight the other one. Using a UDP based encrypted connection for the backhaul like wireguard would provide a smother connection and increase throughput. Keep up the great work!

[@TurboPotato]

Cool project and proof of concept. I'll certainly glean a few concepts for my own use. I don't understand what your cousin's farm issue is with Starlink. After getting my Starlink up and running, I helped a Neighbor do the same. We both applied on day 3 of the open Beta. They are building a retirement home in Idaho and wanted another Starlink system and were told that area was not currently being serviced. So they asked for a second Starlink at their current address... and got it. We set it up. 8 months goes by and they moved the second system to Idaho and informed Starlink.... not a problem they said and it's working fine.

For some reason that cell where her farm is just hasn't been opened up. What's crazy is it's geographically closer to the nearest base station (than my house).

Really enjoy your work. One thing comes to mind. If you are solely running your server through the ac Corsair ps. Off grid Solar groups will be saying that there is an unnecessary power loss with the dc to ac to dc conversion. That is solar panel to inverter to ac power supply. Not to be harsh. But a direct dc power input might be a consideration. That is if you have not already addressed the option.

This setup would also be great for all kinds of sensors far out like wildlife cameras, weather stations, traffic metering. If there is only few data to send back you could also use LORA instead of 4G.

[@DiyintheGhetto]

I know this is a old video but here is some tips. First is the dynamic ip address you get with a mobile provider. To keep something static you can you something like no-ip or dydns and when your ip address changes it will query your internet connection to make sure if your ip stays the same or if it changes it updates there servers automatically so no matter what you have a stable address. Second thing is if you first provider fails to connect you can have a second usb stick with another internet on there as a back up. Even you can channel bond them together to get a little more speed out of it. My old job did that a long time ago when they was running multiple 10 base T network to get faster internal network. I'm pretty sure they are doing the same thing now with multiple ISP providers and if you msil connection goes out you have a back up connection. Hope this helps.

I was running my companies website off of a Raspberry Pi 4 8GB using Nginx, PHP, and SQLite from the MicroSD Card. This was raw, without a server in front of it to cache any content. Most page loads happened under 16ms from time of request to first byte. It made me super vulnerable to (D)DoS but other than that it's mostly fine. The server is still up and running right now and acts as a hot spare in the case of my 1U server going down. There is a third that is another hot spare for the event that both servers go down (like a power outage on the Eastern Seaboard.) But because they use so little power, you can easily run one for DAYS of a UPS.

[@eDoc2020]

Unfortunately, you probably can't run a Pi for days off of a standard UPS. The idle losses in the UPS will limit the runtime. You'd need to use a specialized UPS if you actually want crazy runtime. For commercial offerings, something like the EcoFlow Jeff is demonstrating could work, as these units often let you disable the AC inverter and only use the DC/USB outputs. And btw, running off a MicroSD card should be perfectly fine if you are working in a read-only environment.
