== What ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Build a [https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/ GNU Guix] managed cluster that uses flexible on-demand installable nodes and distributed file storage, such as the open source [https://arvados.org/ Arvados] environment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== How ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cluster is exactly meant for experiments and we are happy to share.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The concept is a throwaway setup. That means you should write your&lt;br /&gt;
installation in such a way that it can be regenerated every time. This&lt;br /&gt;
is done through GNU Guix scripts which allow for VMs, containers and&lt;br /&gt;
PXE installs on the nodes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To run experiments needs some co-ordination with Pjotr and perhaps&lt;br /&gt;
others. Every software deployment and configuration should be captured&lt;br /&gt;
in Guix.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The idea is NOT to have ad hoc installation of software on&lt;br /&gt;
the main node (though you are free to mess within your VM) and also&lt;br /&gt;
NOT to have stuff running full-time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Think of it as proof-of-concepts which can run for a while. I&#039;ll be&lt;br /&gt;
happy to facilitate with 8x nodes with 8 cores and soon another 8x8.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The base software installation for the master is Debian Wheezy with backports. Otherwise, every tool installed on the cluster will be deployed using GNU Guix, probably&lt;br /&gt;
inside KVM containers or using PXE. The idea is that this a &#039;throwaway&#039; setup so everything should be rebuilt on the fly using Guix expressions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are very interested in running compute (slurm) and&lt;br /&gt;
distributed file systems (moosefs, Arvados Keep etc.). If anyone is&lt;br /&gt;
interested in that... I just submitted a software package definition&lt;br /&gt;
for slurm to GNU Guix ML.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Who ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pjotr Prins, Joep de Ligt and Roel Janssen are going to work on packaging Arvados and other tools. Quite a few research groups take an &lt;br /&gt;
active interest in this initiative, e.g., from Wageningen, Utrecht, Groningen, Leiden and Rotterdam.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Progress ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Milestones ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Head node HDD fail, moved head to fedor112 (May 2016)&lt;br /&gt;
* Received 8 more nodes, but keeping them offline for now (Feb 2016)&lt;br /&gt;
* PXE testing by Pjotr (Feb 2016)&lt;br /&gt;
* GNU Guix slurm package added by Pjotr (Feb 2016)&lt;br /&gt;
* Wake-on-lan implemented by Pjotr (Feb 2016)&lt;br /&gt;
* Install GNU Guix on the master node by Pjotr (Jan 2016)&lt;br /&gt;
* External ssh login by Theo (Dec 2015)&lt;br /&gt;
* The machines are up and running with special thanks to Theo and Joep (Dec 2015)&lt;br /&gt;
* Base install of machines by Pjotr (Oct 2015)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Next steps ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Get KVM running in Guix (Pjotr)&lt;br /&gt;
* Start writing Guix expressions for deployment (Pjotr, Roel)&lt;br /&gt;
* Get Arvados captured in Guix expressions (Roel)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

== How ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The base software installation is Debian Wheezy with backports. Otherwise, every tool installed on the cluster will be deployed using GNU Guix, probably&lt;br /&gt;
inside KVM containers. The idea is that this a &#039;throwaway&#039; setup so everything should be rebuilt on the fly using Guix expressions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Who ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pjotr Prins, Joep de Ligt and Roel Janssen are going to work on packaging Arvados and other tools. Quite a few research groups take an &lt;br /&gt;
active interest in this initiative, e.g., from Wageningen, Utrecht, Groningen, Leiden and Rotterdam.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Progress ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Milestones ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The machines are up and running with special thanks to Theo and Joep (Dec 2015)&lt;br /&gt;
* Base install of machines by Pjotr (Oct 2015)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Next steps ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Tighten up ssh server and provide an external login (Pjotr, Theo)&lt;br /&gt;
* Install GNU Guix on the master node (Pjotr, Roel)&lt;br /&gt;
* Mount GNU Guix on the other nodes (Pjotr, Roel)&lt;br /&gt;
* Get KVM running (Pjotr)&lt;br /&gt;
* Start writing Guix expressions for deployment (Pjotr, Roel)&lt;br /&gt;
* Get Arvados captured in Guix expressions (Roel)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
