I can SSH to my RPi3B now. :-) All ready for poste.io. I was a bit surprised to see that it was 32-bit; I'd thought it was 64-bit, when I was trying to decide how much to spend. Well, it turns out that while the architecture reported by default is armv7l, I can set it to ARMv8 mode through the equivalent of the Pi's BIOS. So now I need to decide whether that's a good idea, before I continue with my mail server project.

That link was outdated; the relevant parameter is now documented as a boot option. I'm currently backing up my SD card, in preparation for switching to a 64-bit image file. I'm also considering running something other than poste.io. Learning loads! :-D

Got the rpi up and running on arm64 (i.e., v8), all headless! poste.io doesn't support that architecture, though, I belatedly discovered. But docker-mailserver does, which I found through that blog post I linked to previously. I've got it running on the rpi now, but haven't configured it. I'm now wondering whether I should run it behind a proxy. A tough slog, overall, as I really know very little about running a mail server correctly. :-P

@jlj What OS are you running that rpi?

@adi It's 64-bit version of their Debian Buster port, which they call Raspberry Pi OS, and folks -- in the Matrix room, at least -- call Raspios; they're the ones that pointed me to these beta builds: https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_arm64/images/ -- Thing is, I only went 64-bit for poste.io; docker-mailserver actually has a 7l 32-bit build too. Thinking about stepping back to that, away from the bleeding edge. ;-)

Think I'll abandon the mail server idea, at least for now. I've been playing around with the Inter-Planetary File System (IPFS), and it seems to scale for all sorts of set-ups, including RPI. Curious to learn more about DWeb in general.

My IPFS node is up and running on my Pi. :-D It's steady at around 60℃ right now, which is OK, I think; read that it should be under 70℃. I'm able to browse through that IPFS gateway on my main desktop -- using the native support in Brave -- and load pinned files. I've decided that a further fun project would be hosting a static site there, and I'll be using mkws to generate that, I think; :-) might even buy an Ethereum domain name for it. :-)
