| MacIPRpi on a raspberry pi 1? |
Posted by: avadondragon on 2022-01-23 10:23:02
Has anyone tried running MacIPRpi on a first gen raspberry pi? Is it fast enough to be usable? I have a couple sitting around doing nothing. |

I would think it should work, but it depends on what you're going to do with it. Browsing using the web proxy is probably going to be painful with less than 1 gb ram. |

I think I ran it (along with A2Server) on a Raspberry Pi model B once --I don't remember having any issues that were the Pi's fault. |

Hi. MacTjaap here. I maintain the MacIPRPi project.
It is build for a Raspberry 3B+ or 4. They work both. I tried it on a older Pi but had some issues. Best would be just to test it. If I find some spare time I will do some testing, but not sure when this will happen. So… if there is a volunteer who can do it. Please! |

That was the only pi I could find under like $130, apparently there's a huge shortage right now. I'll let you know how it goes. I suspect it will work just fine because the 3B+ only added gigabit ethernet, wifi, and POE, which, for this use, shouldn't matter too much. |

For absolutely rock bottom hardware price I have also an image for OrangePi. Used to be $9.99. Now around $20. |

@avadondragon How is this working out for you? Does it work with a Pi 1? |

Oh I've been slow about getting it done. I'll report back when I've tried it. |

Not a Pi 1, but I have MacIPRpi running fine on a Pi 2 Model B. |

None of you ran into the issues I did with a 3? Something in one of the packages installed looks for a 4 CPU or something and won't run correctly and causes it to crash. |

The only testing I've done is write the image to the SD card, plug it in, and connect to the AppleShare file server from various machines, and I can copy/read files fine. I've not done anything else with it. |

Oh, yeah its the AppleTalk server that wont work. |
