  • EveryLab already has running hardware which is ready to serve as the infrastructure for a server. Edit: THE SERVER IS AAAALLLLLLIIIIIIIVVVVEEEE!
  • EveryLab currently doesn’t have the hardware to construct a server cluster. The use of Raspberry Pis, or Android smartphones, to be part of a server (cluster) has been discussed.
  • EveryLab hasn’t yet set up a git server, but the Server Construction Team intends to get started on that at its earliest convenience.
  • EveryLab hasn’t figured out how it would handle load balancing if it grows to house multiple servers.
  • The precursor to the server is currently running on CentOS. After the construction of a unit server, other PCs may be used to compare, and contrast, different OSes, as we learn to use them. Other OSes to be tried will likely be a kernel based on Linux, or Unix, such as Sun Solaris, “or some other esoteric sh*t” [actual quote from the Server Construction Team].
  • Other suggested implementations on the server include using Docker, Jenkins, Red Hat’s Open Shift for cloud, and distributed, computing.
  • What all of EveryLab can look forward to is the implementation of a democratic project management system such as Better Means, which will facilitate collaboration for everyone everywhere.  While Better Means is currently in beta, we’re still gonna try it out.

    Not showing: hosting smartphones from four networks at the same time, and using quadcopters to create a flying, portable server.

    We’ve been busy.
