PartKeepr can run on a Raspberry Pi.

Recommended Raspberry Pi configuration

Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspbian Stretch

PartKeepr 1.4.0 was tested on Raspberry Pi 3 running Raspbian Stretch, Apache, and PHP 7.0.

Page load from login takes about 2.8 seconds, with subsequent page loads taking ~1 second, and deemed quite usable.

PHP maximum_execution and PHP-APCu was installed (as mentioned in the Raspberry Pi 2 notes below).

See the PartKeepr 1.4.0 installation on a Raspberry Pi guide for further details.

Other Raspberry Pi configurations (Archive)

Raspberry Pi 4 with Raspbian Buster

As the Raspberry Pi 4 does not support the older Raspbian Stretch (currently only runs the newer Raspbian Buster), the instructions above are not compatible with a Raspberry Pi 4 installation.

Testing was done to install PartKeepr 1.4.0 on Raspbian Buster. However, whilst installation was possible, there were a number of problems and malfunctions. This is believed to be a compatibility issue with with the newer PHP APCu version that comes with Buster and the Symfony2 implementation.

Raspberry Pi

Note: The following information is outdated; please read APC_Metadata_Caching for running PartKeepr on your Raspberry Pi.

PartKeepr 0.76 was tested on a Raspberry Pi Model B running on Apache and mod_php 5.6. It's very slow and it's not recommended to run PartKeepr 0.76 on such slow hardware.

Raspberry Pi 2

Note: The following information is outdated; please read APC_Metadata_Caching for running PartKeepr on your Raspberry Pi.

PartKeepr 0.76 was tested on a Raspberry Pi 2 running on Apache and mod_php 5.6. It's not very fast, but usable.

Initial login to PartKeepr may take a while. As soon as data is cached, logins should become faster.

In order to achieve best performance, you should ensure that:

  • Ensure your max_execution_time is set to 120 seconds or higher, this is required for the setup.
  • Opcache enabled
  • PHP-APCu installed and enabled with both cache.dunglas and cache.doctrine
  • Ensure you don't have xdebug installed - it slows down PHP and is only used for debugging.
  • Using a fast SD card (Class 10 or better)

Loading a page with 50 parts takes about 3-4 seconds. Without opcache and APC, load times for a page with 50 parts takes about 9 seconds.
