Server and Network Admin 101
From Open Source Ecology
- For computer and communication networks
- Ability to install operating systems and manage them for field wireless Remote Control to 20 miles. For example, to remote control a rover over this distance:
, or doing the same with RTK GPS and Slow Solar
- Integration of GPS servers in the field - mapping infrastructure
- Data unloaders - using aerial drones to dump data on demand in the field to a central server such as on our campus
- Intercampus communications
- Installing databases, utilities
- Connecting sensors and actuators (in the broad sense, from solenoids to speakers to light sources etc) to SBCs for IIoT applications.
Exercises
- Set up a secure server on an open source single board computer (BeagleBone AI or such)
- Set up a secure server and mirror the OSE wiki on your desktop computer
- Set up a solar-powered SBC (single board computer) server in the field, for wireless communications with direct line of sight to 20 miles in an IIoT context.
- Run a local printserver via your cell phone, using a room HDMI screen to view the display, and print to a cluster.
