Introduction

Clox is a Cloud platform designed with simplicity in mind. It is meant to be run on Single Board Computers (SBC) based on ARM processors. Raspberry Pi 3 is the only SBC supported at the moment, we are currently working on adding support for Pine64 and many more should come after.

For testing Clox you will only need a Raspberry Pi3 and deploy the first node, called “box0”. You can find the guide here “LINK”. For production environments you will need two or more supported SBC, depending on how many services you will deploy. You will also need an external hard drive disk that supports NFS (check it here “LINK”). Finally, you need one or more switches (depending on how many SBCs and HDDs you are using) to interconnect everything. The design should look like this “PICTURE”.

For an easy deployment you should start here “LINK”. Clox is totally free and open. All the software used is OpenSource and you can check here “LINK” how everything was integrated and even do it yourself.
