During this talk, I will walk you through the process of deploying NixOS on the nodes of a Turing Pi cluster board. More specifically, we will deploy NixOS with a single command.
The Turing Pi is a Mini ITX cluster board that supports up to four compute modules interconnected by a network. It is compatible with Raspberry Pi 4 compute modules, Nvidia Jetson compute modules, and Turing Machines' own Turing RK1 compute modules. The Turing Pi also includes a baseboard management controller (BMC) with open-source firmware, which can be managed through a web UI and a custom CLI tool called TPI.
In this talk, we’ll explore how to deploy NixOS on a Turing Pi cluster board using four Raspberry Pi 4 compute modules, all with a single command, by leveraging the TPI.
My interests have varied over the years, but tech has always been a constant. During my electrical engineering studies, I initially gravitated toward electronics. However, along the way, I discovered the joy of programming and have been immersed in it ever since.
Currently, I am interested in Nix, virtual reality, and open-source software and hardware. I’m always eager to learn new and interesting programming languages, tools, frameworks, and architectures, such as RISC-V. The only thing that limits me in this pursuit is time.
