TinyDataCenter

This repo is mean to be cloned onto a new RasPi or supported SBC to help with application creation, operations, and perhaps more.

Known use cases

• Informational website
• Live streaming and vodcast
• Load balancer

The focus is on POSSE--publish on your own site, syndicate everywhere--using cloud services such as CDNs to acieve scale and reliability.

How to use this repo

This is a work in progress. It's designed for people with no computing experience and a teacher. It intentionally avoids some of the common "industry grade" practices, with the understanding that those will come in later stages. Instead it focuses on creating a small application that works as the soverign master copy, aka. origin, that feeds into scalable cloud services. For example a small business owner may tinker with an inexpensive SBC to build a working concept that functions until they can hire a pragmatic engineer to take over the project.

The respository can be well understood by reading the history of short commit messages for a project of interest. The TinyDataCenter website contains pages with principles that are used. In short, a person comfortable working in an auto garage should be comfortable with this project.

See the website for more detailed info--source contained within this repository as well, so it can be built and used locally.
