What still runs on a M1?

Banana Pi SBCs design BPI-M1/M1+/R1(A20)

Hi,

I’ve found 2 old M1s and I’m curious, what I could run on it nowadays.

My requirements would be something like:

  • Nexcloud
  • Docker
  • MongoDB
  • A Python web crawler that is running in the background, not needing much CPU / RAM
  • Local network storage maybe with Syncthing or similar

Could be all on a CLI / remote SSH access.

What do you think, can I successfully get working?

Yes, why not. But A20 is slow, so keep expectations low.

Is there a list of devices & their computing power related to the power consumption? I’d be curious, whether, if I buy a new Banana or similar, for x€ / month more electricity cost, I get y% computing power more (not regarding the initial investment)
