RE: Creating my own personal claiming and staking software and run it on a Raspberry Pi
Wow! Chuffed that I inspired you to do this on your Raspberry Pi. I'm not exactly sure what my model is, but it's one of the early ones. It's quite slow and since that post I have moved most things to a private VPS with a bit more grunt. I've also created a master account which holds active/posting authorities so I don't have to keep adding keys to my script. You can either schedule your script via cron or use pm2 (with setInterval()). I choose the latter because it has way more features and can auto log console.log() commands to a file. There's also a pm2 service called logrotate which can manage the log file sizes automatically (as Raspberry Pi storage is limited).
What are the odds of two organists in separate parts of the world, both using a Raspberry Pi and NodeJS and being on Steem? Haha!
I have some cronjobs for the scheduling. Log file rotation is one of the niceties I programmed into the NodeJS-scripts. It does the job for now. The Raspberry has a 8 GB SD-card as memory. It'll probably be a while before it is filled with logfiles.
The VPS is where you have setup your witness as well? That'll probably be a tiny bit too much for a Raspberry... :-)
Nice! The witness is on its own VPS. It needs all the grunt it can get.
