Welcome to the tezos-RPI3 wiki!

                             

Tezos will be the first blockchain technology spreading everywhere through a swarm of tiny machines

Looking for info or willing to share your experience about Tezos self-delegation and baking on RPI3? this is your place!

                                             Tezos + RPI3 is possible, it is real and it is (sort of) simple!

   A BIG thanks to the Tezos core development team for supporting ARM-based tiny machines

PLEASE NOTE To successfully run Tezos on the mainnet network the blockchain data MUST be stored on an external USB memory device (e.g. SSD, HDD, SD card). See page [b], page [f] and page [i] for complete info about the setup.

To run a Tezos node with RPI3:

  • Install Fedora OS (aarch64/armv8) (notes on page [b] follow closely the installation of my Tezos nodes) and use the instructions on page [c] to compile and install Opam, OCaml and Tezos (mainnet/zeronet).
    baking/endorsing confirmed to work on the mainnet and zeronet

mainnet -> Tezos blockchain with real tezzies (xtz).

zeronet -> Tezos blockchain with virtual xtz, useful for experimenting and running tests.
