Testing my Odroid in my server cluster

Posted 10-23-2013 at 07:10 AM by Pyplate

After adding my Odroid U2 to my cluster, I ran tests using siege on the front end of the cluster. There was an increase in performance, but it wasn't the increase I was hoping for. I logged into some of the Pi nodes using ssh and ran uptime to check the load. The Pi nodes weren't working particularly hard, and neither was the Odroid. I logged into the load balancer and checked the uptime and memory usage:

Code:

$ uptime
 13:30:04 up 1 day,  5:20,  1 user,  load average: 9.27, 3.52, 1.33

First install the uNRAID package. Once it's installed there is a settings.ini in /boot/config/plugins/plexmediaserver that you should edit. You can edit...

Testing Varnish Cache on an Odroid U2

Posted 10-22-2013 at 01:05 AM by Pyplate

I've fixed the issue with my Odroid freezing. The kernel update fixed that.

I also got Varnish to work. Most of the documentation I found for Varnish refers to an earlier version, but it seems that the latest version has changed a lot, in particular there have been a lot of changes to the Varnish Configuration Language. Fortunately the Varnish compiler gives excellent error messages which tell you how to fix the problems it encounters.

I often make changes to pages...

If you've not heard of Diaspora I recommend you check it out.

Today I was playing with SSL statistics with podupti.me which is a list of publicly hosted Diaspora pods. After viewing their source I found that I could knock against their API to pull domain names. This was more for a personal scripting exercise than anything. I'm sharing the results with you, the reader.

Getting secure host names

I basically ran python code like the following......
