I have happily run nzbdrone on my Raspberry Pi for the last 7 months, but was wondering if anyone has taken the jump and tried installing nzbdrone onto a Banana Pi.
I would like the luxury of low powered machine that has enough horsepower to handle importing feeds and being responsive from the GUI at the same time.
My concern is whether mono is compatible with the ARM dual core processor in the Banana Pi.
Should be possible: http://www.mono-project.com/docs/about-mono/supported-platforms/arm/
Thanks NMe.
I know it can work on some of the ARM prcessors, my Raspberry Pi for example. Just not sure if it needs to be compiled per processor.
Just unwilling to risk the start-up costs hoping it’ll work, as NZBDrone will be the main app running on this instance.
An update for anyone wondering about running NZBDrone on a BananaPi
NZBdrone will run successfully on a BananaPi, and does so very easily. Due to the dual core processor in the BananaPi it runs at about 50 % cpu usage, compared to 100% on my Raspberry Pi
I installed Raspbian 3.1 for BananaPi from this link: http://www.lemaker.org/resources/9-81/raspbian_for_bananapi.html
Then installed Mono using: sudo apt-get install mono-complete
Followed the NZBDrone linux install instructions from: https://github.com/NzbDrone/NzbDrone/wiki/Installation
and it was all ready to go.
A quick copy of my NZBDrone backup from RaspberryPi onto the BananaPi , a restore, and I was finished.
