Q: Can I run Proxmox VE on a Raspberry Pi or a similar single-board computer?
A: No. An arm64 host must boot through UEFI and describe its hardware through ACPI. Device-tree-only boards and legacy boot are not supported.
Basically no consumer facing arm SBCs, NAS boxes, etc will work with this. Frankly, I see this as a good thing though: Maybe it'll make the SBC market get its stuff together and start actually doing UEFI instead of every board needing a custom build.
Technically it will run on Pis — someone in my YouTube comments already has it going on top of basic Pi OS 13 (disabled NetworkManager and cloud-init to get it going). Someone else on Mastodon already has it running via a custom Pi 4 UEFI image.
Would be cool to run this on Snapdragon X Mini PCs in a 10 inch rack
Corpo-only support,
