Signal K doesn't start on pi zero

But..... splash out on a Pi zero 2 - loads faster and still very low power draw. I had a zero running for a while running headless with just the raspberry pi software, no openplotter and installed signalk which worked but it was running maxed out at 100% most of the time. You could try just installing signalk if you want to persevere with the zero you have, might be OK without influx database & app  running  -

hhmm, I naively thought that a slower CPU just means slower command execution... or are the 512k RAM the problem? But then a pi zero 2 would have the same problem.

But please note that Nodejs can NOT be installed via "apt". I wrote some hints at the end of this post https://pysselilivet.blogspot.com/2021/0...berry.html that maybe helps ?

thanks both for the suggestion --  I'll try to follow your hint...

Best, Michael
