I was wondering if anyone tried/experimented with running FME Server on Raspberry Pi 3.
I would greatly appreciate any feedback on this question.
Thank you,

I've not done it but maybe it's possible. I think you can load a Docker-instance with FME server on Pi.
it looks that Docker supports Raspberry Pi 3 officially - https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/docker-comes-to-raspberry-pi/
it would be interesting to test if RP3 can handle Docker/FME Server from hardware requirements point of view.
Raspberry Pi uses the ARM chipset, however FME only supports Intel architectures, so no, FME will not run on Raspberry Pi.

Anyone tried that? With the new RPi4 it is becoming very interresting!

Hi @philippeb The RPi4, like all Pi's has an ARM processor which would require a Docker container with FME code compiled for ARM. That's not going to happen. However, it should be possible to run FME Server itself on a RPi4 as long as the FME engines are running on remote x86/x64 hosts. If you'd like FME Server in a Docker container for ARM, please suggest the idea here.

Hmm, the advent of Apple Silicon may one day change this calculation .....

there are Qemu options available in docker that *could* mitigate the architecture “gap”..
