I try to turn a raspberry pi into a node seeding stuff for me on the dat network.
Can I install Beaker Browser on a Raspberry Pi (32 bits)?

I once tried to compile beaker on a pi. Most of the pieces are there (node, V8), but I was unsuccessful.

A few suggestions for anyone who tries:

It has to be 32 bit and work on raspbian. Sure the latest version of pi has a 64 bit processor, but for retrocompatibility issues everything is 32 bits. There are alternatives to raspbian, but they are of marginal impact. Pi means, in practice, raspbian.

I suspect the best approach will be cross compiling: memory limitations is where I normally stumbled

You might find something like https://github.com/beakerbrowser/homebase useful.

Sounds like compiling Beaker for the rpi is going to be a hassle, and not really necessary if your goal is just to have a persistent local peer for your dats.

For the record, this project Seeder does what I need very well.
