armbian with pre-installed homeassistant raspberrypi 3B+

[guy cal]

Is it possible to run armbian with pre-installed homeassistant on a raspberrypi 3B+ ?

 

The reason of my question is, I have running homeassistant on a orangepi pc2 which work very well. On the raspberrypi 3B+ running unter raspbian, homeassistant is very slow.

That might be due to little RAM.

I did a test install about a year ago on a raspi 3b+ with 1GB RAM, and it became extremely slow after a short while. htop showed, that the system was completely busy with swapfile access. Even a shutdown took some hours.

Homeassistant might claim, that 1GB can suffice, but IMO that's more a proof-of-concept than a workable solution. As soon as you add some integrations, the free memory becomes quickly too low.
