Proxmox

[Mike Brand]

I know DigiPi is geared toward RasPi SBC, but I have a proxmox server with some capacity available. Has anyone built this to run on an intel proxmox server? I do have a few Debian VMs running, is it possible to port this to run?

That would be sweet!  IDK if we can `git clone ...` and build things for Intel.   Thanks! --Matt, N3PAY

Theoreticly possible, but is it worth the effort? Along similar lines I've been running many things in Docker containers and have hit that same point, that yes it might be possible, but the amount of steps to make it happen far exceeds what it takes to use a raspberry pi.

Now I've not explored the world of proxmox, but I'm semi familiar with what it does! 

Cheers

Easier to buy a RasPi and use Craigs image, yes - but an inexpensive used recycled desktop with an i5-8500 / 6 core is powerful enough to run DigiPi and a couple of other apps (SDRConnect Server, AllStar Link) for an all in price of about $70 creating a sort of Ham Radio server that sits in my basement. Adding in the platform expansion capabilities of an intel package and I think the idea has some merit. Of course without Craig's help it will take a fair bit of trial and experimentation to make it work.

Might look at 73 Linux by Km4ack 

Compiles and builds for x86/64

Digipi is built for the low resources of a pi to enable portability. If you have a server you could play with dragonOS on a vm. It is tailored to SDRs but comes with most of the software present on digipi.

There is no reason you can’t get the stuff that is running on the DigiPi image to run on any other flavor/variant of linux, just install the image and apps and port the configs over. The stuff that Craig does really just makes configuring and using the tools much easier. 

Note though, much of the usability of the image requires direct USB access, so your proxmox server would need to pass through the systems USB ports to the VM running. 

Not sure what else to do as honestly this is not a configuration I would do. I prefer virtualizing systems for other use cases.

I understand that the native implementation of Digipi is the Raspberry but the Mike's idea is still excellent. As he said a small Promox server allows hardware consolidation and can remove Raspberry garlands.  I really like Raspberry Pi, but also Proxmox so this could be a complementary solution.
