Can you run a sandfly node on a raspberry pi?

Hello,

I have tried to google this naturally but the results are that you can scan raspberry pi's not that you can run a node on it.


I followed the steps outlined here:

but when I get to the step to start the node, I get the following output:

 
root@localhost:~/sandfly-setup/start_scripts# ./start_node.sh

** There will be a slight delay before further output...

 Is there a docker image that supports arm, and if so how can I get it?


Thank you in advance.

Hello, As of this post, March 2025, your Googled answer is correct.


Raspberry pi's architecture (arm) is not currently supported to run Sandfly, Server or Node. Presently a host with the amd64 architecture is needed.


That point and other installation requirements are covered in the following Sandfly documentation:

https://docs.sandflysecurity.com/docs/installation-requirements 

Got it. Thank you. I heard about this tool on a destination linux interview but it looks like it's not for me =)
