I’m impressed that Lemmy only needs 150 MB RAM and uses virtually no CPU

This seems like an ideal thing to install on an embedded system such as a Raspberry Pi.

Problem: Where are the builds?

In the installation page, you have three options: Docker, Ansible, From Scratch

I’m currently doing the from scratch option since my OS distributor is not a fan of docker or ansible (and neither am I), but the build is taking ~1hr.

Are there no nightly builds with .deb packages?

    Short answer, not that I have seen. You could always build/package the .deb’s yourself and provide them to the community, otherwise it’s time the devs probably don’t have for a niche use case.

    You can always run another machine or traditional VM for docker (or kubernetes). Otherwise, building from scratch seems your best option.

    Also, docker (or in my case kubernetes) runs just fine on a Raspberry PI (using a Pi 4 4GB). In my experience most of the overhead comes in the form of storage, since different images require difference base images which start to add up. Otherwise I haven’t noticed any noticeable overhead (except with my Ceph Rook setup).
