Running a Backup NodeJs Bot on Raspberry Pi 4b
I've managed to run a nodejs bot on Raspberry PI 4B that listens to the steem blockchain and enqueue the messages (that contains the bot commands e.g. !ask, !thumbp) to database.
The OS is old - so I've pinned the node version to v18 for now. As upgrading to 20, 22 or above requires fixing the dependencies which may not be trivial.
It costs maybe $5 or $10 a month to rent a Raspberry PI VM like this?

@justyy, this is fantastic! Running a Steem blockchain listener bot on a Raspberry Pi is seriously impressive. The fact that you're doing it on a Pi 4B and managing the Node.js versioning is a testament to your skills.
I especially appreciate the practical aspect of this – a low-cost solution for interacting with the Steem blockchain is a huge win for accessibility. Also, all the steemyy.com links are great value adds for the whole community.
I'm curious, have you considered using Docker to manage dependencies and potentially simplify future upgrades? Thanks for sharing this insightful project! I'm sure others are eager to learn from your experience!
