Hi,

I was working on running stellar-core on Raspberry Pi for a couple of months. Finally, I am able to run it successfully without doing any major changes to original stellar/quickstart repository. You can check it out on GitHub at https://github.com/hard-codr/docker-stellar-core-horizon-rpi .

The only caveat is the stellar-core/horizon is not official binary distribution. I have built it with v9.2 source code on raspberry pi itself and uploaded the binaries to GitHub.

Let me know if it is useful to anybody and face problem while running it.

Yes, it is stable enough that process doesn't crash. Sometimes process lags behind quorum due to maybe I/O issues. But overall, current node I am running is stable since last 1 week. There are a couple of problems I faced when process abruptly shuts down, and I will be opening issues for those. But those problems are not due to resource constraints.

Of course, I will not recommend it for production use. If you have a project (in testing phase) which constantly needs to hit SDF horizon, then this is a cheaper option to set up your own core/horizon instance (than spinning AWS instance).

    Cool, thanks for sharing.

    One more question: did you open up the incoming port for the stellar-core or you kept it closed (so only your node is connecting to others)?

    Its a closed one. My goal was not to setup a full fledged validator but just a watcher instance, so that I can observe trades.
