Requirements

Hardware

Minimum recommended:

Memory: 1.5GB
Swap: 1GB
CPU: decent multicore
Storage: The amount of hard disk space required largely depends on how many images you expect your users to upload.

It is possible to run a pod on a Raspberry Pi >= 2. However, this will be very slow and is not recommended for multi-user pods.
