Question about port

Hello,

First thank you for your great and amazing work ! But I'm really curious, how did you do to do the port of Proxmox to RPI ? I don't understand how did you proceed ? Thank you very much for your explanation.

Best regards,

I'm not entirely sure how to answer this. The good folk at Proxmox make all the source code for Proxmox available as open source, so making it work on the RPI was simply a question go downloading it and rebuilding it all. There was very little that needed to be changed and the majority of the work was just dealing with the dependency hell such a large project naturally comes with. Oh .. and building Ceph on a Raspberry Pi literally takes over a day ... I now build it on a M1 Mac and it's less than an hour.

That makes sense but I've tried building for the ODroid N2+ with little success. I've looked at proxmox-on-arm. Is that what you used as a base or did you get the source from proxmox v7? Here's the build instructions for it but how did you customise it for ARM architechture? https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-common.git;a=blob_plain;f=README.dev;hb=HEAD

How did you build the packages for arm then add them to the build process? If you could enlighten us that'd be great!
