Sorry for being late, other things in life ... but no worries.

All is looking good, thanks.

Eh, completely forgot about that.

Okay, I'll see what I can do.

Oh well, "several weeks" since applying to 2.7.1 :)
The "filtered" patch was indeed in use all the years, on a way older
INN version though (at least it started with a 2). The second one is new.

This seems sane, I read your description as "following the principle of
least surprise". Although I'll need another coffee to think through the
logic here.
Thanks for catching this not-so-corner case which just does not exist in
my installations.

Subject: INN2 on a Raspberry Pi 4? | Migrating between instances of
INN2
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Hi there
I have been running a INN 2.7.1 server for a number of years on a
Debian system.
The hardware that this runs on a tower PC with a power consumption
I am thinking of mitigating by investigating a shift of the NNTP
server over to a Pi4.
It's been years since I painstakingly set up the current server so
my depth of knowledge is not super fresh on all things INN2.
My thinking is ideally I would also run other projects on the Pi4
as well if doable.
Plans include experimenting with other projects using Docker that
will likely want some of the hardware compute / memory although I
am not overly familiar with Docker or it's level of demands.
Currently the Pi4 has a new install of the latest Bookworm
Raspberry Pi OS, it boots from a 250 Gig SSD and has 8 gig of
memory.
Pi4 questions
Can I run INN2 on the Pi4?
What amount of compute / memory resources do I need to allow for
INN2 if I were to run it on a Pi4?
Should I be using the APT manager to install INN2 and if so which
package, or am I better off to just build the software from the
source files like I did last time on my Debian box?
Anything Pi specific I should be aware of / wary of?
INN2 questions
I run mostly CNFS buffers to store my articles, can I move them
over to the new server I install on the Pi4? Total data is
currently 82.7 Gig. Picking not as a direct copy and CNFS data is
the hardest to transfer over?
In thinking about some info I read on how to send articles from
one server to another. If I want my new server to use the same
domain name as my old server etc. (what shows in the path) is
there anyway to transfer articles over from one system to the
other like that?
Has anyone tried running/using INN2 with Docker?
There's probably more questions rattling around in my head but
thanks for any and all thoughts / feedback.
Best, Paul (news.bbs.nz)
