Minimal Hardware for running Monerod and P2Pool (feddit.de)

Can anyone give me an idea what the minimum hardware requirements are for letting monerod und P2Pool run on the same machine. The machine should only do the managing part not mining.

What are the importand specs? CPU Speed? Ram site? Storage?

Does it even work on something like an old Cubietruck etc?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts

Btw really happy finding out that the Monero Community also exists on Lemmy.

This is something you will be happy about: pinode.co.uk.

Pinode uses single board computers, cheap small boards, to run p2pool and monerod.

It currently supports: Rock PI 4, Raspberry PI, Rock Pro 64, Rock 64, Odroid XU4, AMD64 cpus (so you could use an old laptop) and more... (full list of supported devices with images).

You will also need an external memory to be able to store the blockchain, a cheap SSD you can find in your local used market is ok (something like 500gb will be alright even for the future).

Why is this cool? Well, this is cool because single boards are cheap, require low power and easy to use.

Better than a VPS? I'd say yes, because you own the hardware and it will cost you way less monthly.
