What is the minimum hardwire requirements for using on old PC (processor, memory, etc.)

[Vitaliy M]

I have a 32-bit Celeron notebook with 1Gb RAM. It boots only from DVD. Will it work with Armbian?

Thanks.

I think the Intel architecture build is 64bit only. So the answer is no. Would not work.

So minimal requirement would be a 64bit CPU.

Has anyone put Armbian on:

 

• Beelink Mini S12 Pro w/ 12th gen intel-n100

• Beelink Mini SEi8 w/ 8th gen intel i3-8109u

 

I'd be interested to know if Armbian would work on those.

 

They'd be running headless, so no need for wifi, bluetooth, nor display.

I've not tried on those but I'm sure Armbian runs on it. I run Armbian on lower spec Intel SoC's and it runs well.
Armbian is perfect for headless work. Everything is configured for it. 

For me the advantage is to have the same OS on all my devices.

If anyone wants 32-bit OS then go for Debian. They still support 32-bit.

Thanks Nico. Has anyone put Intel Armbian into a Proxmox VM?

I tried but couldn't get it to run on proxmox, it's not follow the same installation procedure as Debian.

Hmm… do you happen to recall what version of proxmox and what version of armbian? I guess I'll give it a shot with the just updated Armbian 24.2.1 Jammy CLI image.

I could not get either of the most two recent armbian x84 images to startup in a proxmox vm. Bummer, that I'll be migrating away from Armbian to Debian. I get it though, Armbian is great on SBCs.
