@alialiwa20050Inspired by Amazon Web Services (AWS) :aws:, Libre Web Services (LWS) :libre-web-services:, also known as "Raspberry Web Services (RWS)" :raspberry-pi-logo:, is a concept built during Hack Club's :hackclub: Winter of Making :wom: 2023 Winter Hardware Wonderland :winter-hardware-wonderland: "10 Days of Making" event is a hackable, scalable, load-balanced, home-hosted, multi-node aarch64 Arm-based :arm: cloud powered by Kubernetes :kubernetes: & Docker :docker:, created by @alialiwa2005 ("Hack Cat" :hacker-cat:), a veteran :scrappy-retro: Hack Club community member :dino-drake-yea: & founder 🧭 of Gaynor McCown Hack Club:gaynormccown:, established in November of 2020 :dinosaur_waving:.

Yesterday, Minecraft was first deployed.
Today, networking has been configured to publicly expose the world, allowing you to join in!
I invite you to test LWS by playing Minecraft :minecraft: as a service hosted on Libre Web Services :libre-web-services:
Join the world today, version 1.19 PaperMC :paperplane:
Theoretically, in case the server goes down for any reason, it should spin up again promptly!
Hopefully that won't happen too often, though, as each instance of Minecraft leverages 2 ARM cores :arm: & 2 gigabytes of DDR4 Samsung RAM powering a high-performance optimized fork (please keep in mind that because we're running off microSD cards, there most likely be greater than typical lag/delays).
-------------------------------
Minecraft Server Address:
Libre.hackclub.com:25565
-------------------------------
:minecraft: on :libre-web-services: will remain public for at least the next 7 days, so feel free to attempt a speedrun, play with friends, and build cool things while it's public!
Feel free to post your creations on Minecraft on Libre Web Services on scrapbook, feel free to also tag me & attach the libre-web-services emoji to your :libre-web-services: posts!

Additionally, I invite you to check out SkyScanner, another project in this year's Winter of Making Winter Hardware Wonderland event, which is a DIY aircraft radar station that recieves and records ADS-B signals from nearby flying aircraft in real-time!
In a collaboration, SkyScanner is now publicly exposed via a Libre Web Services tunnel (skyscanner.libre.hackclub.com), which will remain a publicly-accessible dashboard for the next 24 hours, so check it out while it's airborne!

Here is my project's local dashboard publicly tunneled via Libre Web Services:libre-web-services:
This tunnel will be online for the next 24 hours: skyscanner.libre.hackclub.com

A load-balanced, resilient, and scalable Minecraft :minecraft: server is coming soon, hosted on Libre Web Services :libre-web-services:.
@alialiwa20050Winter of Making Day 7
Libre Web Services case finished printing!
@alialiwa20050Winter of Making Day 6
Installed Kubernetes :kubernetes: on Libre Web Services (LWS) :libre-web-services: nodes & made a cluster!
@alialiwa20050Winter of Making Day 5
While the remainder of the LWS cluster case prints, I've flashed SD cards & booted Ubuntu Server :ubuntu:, before completing basic setup and networking... The 4 nodes will have consecutive static IPs for ease of access and identification.
Here's a screenshot of a CPU info command executed through ssh to one of the Libre Web Services :libre-web-services: nodes.
As you can see, it's an aarch64 ARM :arm: Cortex A53 cpu, a mighty cpu for it's size and power efficiency.
@alialiwa20050Winter of Making Day 4.5
Here's the first successful print of a node rack platform (it's screwless!), as well as a freshly unboxed piece of credit-card-sized, Arm-powered :arm: Libre Web Services :libre-web-services: hardware infrustructure!
@alialiwa20050Winter of Making Day 4
I tried 3D printing my design from yesterday, but my printer gave me good advice after failing repeatedly... don't overcomplicate things.
Hey, simple is best, right?
Here's Libre Web Service's :libre-web-services: simplified cover.
3D printing today. Hopefully all goes well.

A Hack Clubber once said, "a great design, physical and virtual, is essential for a great project."
Hello, brand-new freshly-designed Hack-Club-and-Winter-of-Making-themed Winter-Hardware-Wonderland-2023-event-commerative and personal-Hack-Clubber-Journey-commemorating Libre Web Services :libre-web-services: casing.
@alialiwa20050Winter of Making Day 2
Introducing Libre Web Services :libre-web-services:, inspired by Amazon Web Services :aws:.
• Gigabit Fiber-Optic
• 16 ARM Cortex-A53 @ 1.4GHz
• 16GB DDR4-2133 SDRAM
• 4 ARM Mali-450 @ 500MHz
A hackable, scalable, load-balanced, home-hosted cloud service powered by Kubernetes :kubernetes: & 16 Arm cpu cores :arm:
Logo design incorporates Libre Computer, Hack Club, and Kubernetes.
@alialiwa20050Winter of Making Day 1
• A 4-core Arm computer.
• A 60 watt power supply.
• A gigabit network switch.
• A snappy class-10 micro SD card.
A plan is brewing, a blueprint for a hackable cloud, right at home.
