OrangePi (local)
Orange Pi 5 – 8 cores, 8GB RAM 500GB SSD – to try out things in the office. Installed Debian, seems fine so far. Here is how to Install cinnamon on Debian.

Running in a Docker container. See the txt file.
Also, there’s a Nostr node running, but I can’t get through the router.

Speedtest
The upload speed is crap because its on a domestic account and us zombies are supposed to be just consuming moronic TV etc., we’re not supposed to be trying to do anything.

Maybe can run proxmox.
Proxmox ARM running on the Orange Pi 5 with NVMe!

includes how to boot from NVME SSD
It should be similar to Raspberry Pi
There’s an installtion script for Raspberry Pi here. It might work.
Boot From NVME SSD
Lots of people online (when you search for “orange pi unable to see NVME SSD”) insisting that you must have a SATA SSD instead, but get through all that, and these instructions worked ok for me.
Orange Pi 5 NVMe/SATA SSD Boot Guide
And here is a PDF just in case.
But as usual it turned out to be not so easy. Eventually this page instructions worked, but the first one has a better way to clone the system from the SD to the SSD.
Here’s a pdf again just in case.
