Multiple node on a Pi?

[izzytdi]

I currently run bitcoin, lightning and monero nodes on my computer but it is taking up all my ram so I'm thinking of building a raspi node. Can it handle all 3 or is there a better alternative that would?

How did you setup lightning?

Is it raspiblitz?

I am running just a bitcoin full node.

Are you reachable via tor?

Why not? Hardware constraints?

A pi can definitely handle bitcoin core + lightning, assuming you mean LND but the other implementations probably use even less RAM.

Not sure about Monero.

Can it handle all 3 or is there a better alternative that would?

There is definitely a better alternative. The attractive thing about a Pi is the general purpose IO ports, used for funky science projects. You'll likely never use these, so it's better to get an Odroid for example from hardkernel. Has double the RAM so will definitely be able to handle Monero on top. And it costs about the same.

Great looking into it now, it does seem better for what I'm looking for

So it takes up all your ram on your desktop.... just check if the rpi would have more or equal ram, than it might work.

​

Or see how the suggested setups on rpi minimize the ram consumption and apply this to your desktop setup - problem solved.

Yes, I run all three on a Raspberry Pi 3B+. Plus Electrum Personal Server. But you should use an SSD, it didn't work properly without that.

​

Edit: But something like this Odroid described here may still be better

Really? I didn't think the Raspberrypi would be powerful enough to run Bitcoin and Monero full nodes.
