      Hi all, my mirror is currently running off a raspberry pi 4 which I’m feeling is a little too overkill for the project. I’m hoping to use that pi for other projects like a plex server, steam link, retropie etc. So, considering that I do almost all my configuration of the mirror remotely, what is a good raspberry pi to scale down to? A pi3? pi 2? What are your thoughts?

      Thanks in advance!

          Thanks for responding.
          Is there any particular reason why you feel strongly about the 3b+? In terms of hardware or connectivity or what?

            @Srcodesalittle power more than anything…

            unless you wanted to go all the way down to pi 0, but its tiny and lower powered…

            i’d get 4- 1gig before a 3 myself.

              Why not a PiZero running browser as a client? I had 4 PiZ in a K8s cluster and they did well. I still have a few running streaming cameras for a 3D print farm. Put MM server in a docker container on the RPi4.
