Hi there, Does someone had a luck to install docker/storj on: Linux zgemmah9s 4.4.35 #1 SMP Thu Nov 26 18:00:00 UTC 2020 armv7l GNU/Linux This is small sat box with ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7l) like rpi v3 but Linux distro is different than raspbian. Any advice?

if you can install docker, it’ll likely work (and if it has at least 200MB ram left for the storagenode)

MiB Mem : 951,1 total, 604,6 free, 216,7 used, 129,8 buff/cache yep we have 200Mb ram :smiley: Installing docker might be tricky as there is no package for this…

and there is no other distro? you could try building docker from source but that’s probably not vey easy. But, you don’t need docker. You can try the native linux binary if it works on your distro (just make sure to download the latest files): [image] [Tech Preview] Linux Storage …

[image] How to set up a non-Docker node using systemd services with the official native storagenode binary getting started You shouldnt run under root this is your first mistake. This looks very promising :wink: Will update you soon.

Working perfectly on my zgemma sat box… :grin: Box has only USB2… I have access to about 200 sat boxes, I’ll start testing it with sat boxes soon with 5TB 2.5" drives…

[image] demeo: 5TB 2.5" drives… Beware, these drives are probably SMR drives… Depending on your setup, the number of nodes you have and the network activity, this might become a problem. (Well… These days any SMR drive can take the load coz’ things are quiet… Too quiet… But Hopefuly things …

Sure I’m aware that this drives are SMR, I’ll setup a few nodes to test it, for a few pounds extra I can get warranty replacement for 5yr and data recovery if drive will fail. So it might be worth to try.

additional warranty is covered by external company, good to know, I’ll check it

One of my 8TB smr storj test node fail with Storj activity…

Thinking to do SN on Zgemma SatBox ARMv7
