        my pi zero 2w was delivered today and I’m really surprised about the good performance.

        Tested 2 apps:

        • mm as docker setup
        • motioneye with google drive upload (also docker)

        Both worked out of the box and felt not slower as on my old pi 3b.

          @karsten13 memory is a little slower than PI3b… but not too terrible

              Those that have MM running on pi02w, what modules do you have running? I tried in vain to get it running on my pi0w, but when I started adding weather/calendar/background photo etc it failed. The modules I need:

              • Photos
              • Google Calendar
              • Todoist
              • Weather Forecast
              • (nice to have) Spotify ‘now playing’
              • (nice to have) Moon Phases

              Is it possible to have these on the zero 2? Or do I need to wait until like June to get the pi 4.

                @laurafox08 yes, those should be fine. no real cpu hogs there. still shorter on memory, so make a bigger swap file

                like pi3.
