Advice on home ARM server
by Lennart Jern
Hi,
I'm currently using a Raspberry Pi 3 for hosting some simple web services at home. Now I'm looking at scaling this single server up to a small cluster running kubernetes and would love some advice on what devices to use.
The boards I have been looking at are as follows.
- More of the same Raspberry Pi 3, already proven to work but lower spec than the alternatives.
- NanoPi M1 Plus or NanoPi A64, nice small form factor.
- BananaPi M2U or BananaPi M64, plenty of RAM but cannot be powered over micro USB.
What kind of support from upstream/Fedora can I expect for these boards? Are there other boards I should consider? Any experiences from running Fedora on these (or other) ARM boards?
Kind regards,
Lennart Jern

possible errors in generation of some arm7hl packages.
by Richard Ryniker
These three packages install without problems on a Raspberry Pi that uses
the aarch64 build, but fail on the arm7hl build.
