Start9 is committed to ensuring that StartOS is accessible. It will always be possible to build your own Start9 server on low-powered hardware.
|
|
|
|
.. warning:: **READ CAREFULLY!** DO NOT USE A RASPBERRY PI FOR RUNNING BITCOIN SOFTWARE! You will have a bad time. The pi is a great choice for other use cases, such as file storage, password management, git hosting, etc.

Hardware Requirements
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
.. warning:: **READ CAREFULLY!** Start9 recommends **AGAINST** using an SSD with the Raspberry Pi. It can lead to server instability and data corruption. Instead, we recommend using a large, **high endurance** microSD card. If you insist on using an SSD, please ensure you are using a high-quality USB cord and the SSD is *independently* powered by a high-quality powered USB hub or case with powered expansion board. Even then, you will likely encounter issues. See the `Community Hub <https://community.start9.com/c/hacking/>`_ for more info.

- Raspberry Pi 4 (8GB RAM)
|
|
|
|
- Power Supply (20w - 5v/4a recommended)
|
|
|
|
- MicroSD Card (**high endurance**, 64GB *minimum*) (if you go against our recommendation and use an SSD, you will only need a 32GB microSD card, and it does not need to be high endurance)
