I wouldn't personally go below the Orange Pi3 at the cost. Start KStars & INDI/EKOS on the Orange Pi, but then connect to it via a remote KStars setup. Simply running KStars on the Orange Pi isn't going to use that much resources, and the main work (captures, etc) will be on the computer running KStars and connecting remotely. It will use a slight bit of memory for KStars, but since no processing is being done via KStars, it's fairly fixed. All the plate solving and such will be on whatever computer you are using to connect to INDI/EKOS with.Hi Tracy, total Linux newbie here but I was proficient in DOS back in the day. I just received my Orange Pi 3 LTS a few days ago and I'm going to give this a try. How do we set up an Indi Server only with the client software running on a remote PC? Do you think an Orange Pi Zero 2 would handle that ?
The setup will be pretty much identical to what I detail above, and you only need to connect to the OrangePI long enough to start KStars and INDI/EKOS then you can disconnect.
There are some scripts out that you can start INDI/EKOS automatically without KStars, but I don't know how reliable they are since I have not used them. I simply use the process above and then connect remotely via KStars to INDI server.
