12/21/2022, 1:21 AMI have a Turing Pi 1 with two CM3+ modules. I'm considering finding a use for it so I'm curious about best OS to use, use case, etc.

12/21/2022, 1:22 AMrun each CM3+ as a separate Pi but in a more compact form-factor or a lite cluster using a different Pi for admin

12/21/2022, 3:08 AMI was running Ubuntu 20.04 64-bit on my CM3+ units, IIRC. Lite units, 16 & 32GB MicroSD cards.

12/21/2022, 3:09 AMDefinitely ran fine with k3s with a few things restricted from running on the Pi's, but TBH it worked great AS LONG as you kept the control plane node off of CM3+ units. I was running it in a VM on the same network, but also tried it off a CM4 unit with a small NVMe drive. Worked great for me 🙂

12/21/2022, 3:10 AMI haven't been using my 2-node TP1, but I do have Ubuntu 22.04 64-bit on one of my nodes

12/21/2022, 3:11 AMI have DietPi w/pihole running on a first-get Pi 256MB so I was considering that as well

12/21/2022, 3:11 AMmy two CM3 are eMMC versions

12/21/2022, 3:12 AMI think I had a couple of the eMMC units, but they died after some time unfortunately 😦

12/21/2022, 3:14 AMI had been looking for a FAQ for "Turing Pi 1 in 2022" or something but couldn't find one, so this topic is an attempt to concentrate some of this info
Teslamax
12/21/2022, 3:15 AMwith only two nodes I was deliberating between using it as a tiny cluster, or as two independent Pi's on an ITX board...
Teslamax
12/21/2022, 3:16 AM@Dan Manners (@Cisco) do you know anyone else who still has or recently had their TP1 operating?
Teslamax
12/21/2022, 3:16 AMthx btw
Teslamax
12/21/2022, 3:19 AMis there any reason not to run a newer Ubuntu version?

12/21/2022, 3:36 AMOh I'm sure you could, I just wasn't

05/19/2023, 4:16 PMWhat is it good for... absolutely nothing. Sadly since purchasing my V1 its been sat collecting dust as I cannot source CM3s any more (see https://discord.com/channels/754950670175436841/1109151907596996739)
