Raspberry 5 headless server

Post by Maroxis »

I've been hosting space age on my raspberry for last couple days and I must say, the performance has been rock solid for now.
We are already at stage when we are launching first rocket and there has been no issues yet. I've been using box64 emulator to run it.

Has anyone else tried to run server on raspberry? How far can you go before getting any issues?

Also does anyone know better way to update the headless server than re-downloading it and unpacking it manually every time? Auto updater would be a +

I got Pi 5 8GB, but in terms of memory you could probably host headless with just 2.
We made some progress and we got to space/alien science on 2/3 closest planets. I've seen CPU usage max around 70% so I don't think It will be able to run to the endgame, but so far no issues.
