We suggest to deploy the framework with OpenBalena which allows to install docker containers within a set of nodes, like Raspberry Pi. However, you are free to chose your personal way of deploying the framework to all the nodes. The docker-compose.yml needed for booting the framework is within the stack.

Booting

For starting the bare framework, you can use the command

docker-compose up

With FaaS function

But for running a benchmark you need to install a FaaS function. In [1] and [2] the pigo-openfaas [3] function is used. You can clone it in this folder and then:

1. Build it with faas-cli [4], this will create the Dockerfile needed for starting the Compose

    faas-cli build
   

2. Start the framwork

    docker-compose up -f docker-compose-fn.yml
   

In SBCs (Single Board Computers e.g. Raspberry Pi)

For booting the framework in a set of SBCs nodes, starting from this repository and after cloning and building the functions like described above, you can use the OpenBalena [5] framework. Once all is set up, use the command to deploy the framework by building it within a node

balena deploy admin/myfleet -m -h <node-ip> -p 2375 --debug --build
