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.

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

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:
