A swarm of horrid pixellated demons all running inside a docker cluster.

That’s what we’ll build for QuakeCon 2019. A doom pi cluster!!

I brought this up before but I feel the need to do it again. Are you planning on taking multiple networked devices into QuakeCon (i.e. a rack of Raspberry Pi)? They’ll likely reject it during registration. Might be able to get away with it using adhoc wireless networking assuming they let in at all.
