@karsten13 hm…

@sdetweil

well, I did not promote it because the image base was to old (beside other problems) but in 2024 I decided to do a complete refactor so now the image build (iso, not docker) is done by me with gitlab based on the current raspian bookworm os lite.

@scottwalsh please dont double post

@sdetweil
The host is a pi zero 2w - so is on the low spec side.

Apologies, user error.

@karsten13 @scottwalsh
bookworm is about 500m bigger that bullseye

so swap is critical on small memory machines

[karsten13]

mmos is critical with pi zero 2w, I had a user who gave up, but it depends on installed modules and quality of used sd-card.

CONF_SWAPSIZE=1024 (if not changed by user)
