Raspberry Pi specifications?

What RaspberryPi is recommended? Specs?

I've been running nodejs-poolController on Windows for a while now (really need to add my notes to the Wiki!), but I'm looking to move to a new house and figured I'd leave a RaspberryPi based environment behind in case they don't leave a PC on all the time.

I purchased a RaspberryPi Zero 2W and everything installed easily. The Dashboard went off without a hitch, but when I do a poolController build I get a "JavaScript heap out of memory".

I'm running the 32 bit headless Raspian 12. (also tried 11)
Free shows 329M available.

When I look at my windows processes, poolController is only using 56M (when running). Any tips on getting it to build on a Pi Zero 2W?

If you have PM2 installed it will try to load all apps at the same time and build them.

Run 'npm run build' for each app (only once and/or only when you pull new code). Then you can start each one with 'Npm run start:cached' to avoid the build each time.

I never got that far... doing a fresh install of Raspian 11 liite (no desktop), stopping high memory processes (systemd-journal, modem, and something else (I forgot)) the nodejs-poolController "run build" still fails (via the console, not ssh of course).

Has anyone successfully built nodejs-poolController on a Zero 2W? If so, what OS version and Nodejs version? Can i do the build on another linux system (or even windows) and copy the directory over? Not sure what the build does.

I copied my nodejs-poolController and nodejs-poolController-Desktop from my windows machine to the Pi Zero 2W and it's running (with start:cached)!!!!

So I guess you can use a Raspberry Pi 2 W, just do the build on other host... even on Windows!

(BTW.. I did add the Windows setup to the WIki)
