Is pimatic run on 64Bit Debian? Or on other OS on Proxmox?

---

Hello, for some time now there is the pimatic-mesh plugin. I would like to know if it is possible to install pimatic on a 64Bit Debian? I have an Intel NUC running with Proxmox. So it would be very interesting for me if pimatic would run as VM on it. Then I could run all plugins that are not dependent on the hardware on the RPi. Such plugins like Homeduino and maxcul would stay on the Raspberry, all other plugins could run in the VM on Proxmox.
Is that possible?

Hi, I am running pimatic in a VM (Ubuntu 64Bit) on Proxmox. It works. I faced some problems with the homeduino plugin. Its works, but after some time I was not able to contol 433 devices. After a restart it worked again for a while. I found no reason for this behavior. Now the homeduino stuff is installed on my old raspi which is controlled via rest api (before the mesh plugin exists) from my Proxmox pimatic environment.

Thanks for the quick answer. I like the sound of that. I’m gonna try that combination. My NUC is understretched anyway. So he can still do some work.
My RPi has some wiring and is in the basement, the NUC is in the kitchen. So I can only run the Homeduino plugin in the basement.

Are there things that are different that I should pay attention to when I run the installation on Ubuntu (64 bit)?

Not really. I decide to use Ubuntu, because I use this as Desktop privat and on business. Proxmox & Pimatic is really a good combo. Before you try some stuff make a snapshot and than you can play until your system is down -> rollback snapshot and the world is round again!

Oh thanks, that’s really nice information. And I hadn’t even thought about a backup or snapshot. but you’re right. With this you can restore the system in no time. 😁😃😄
I have to work on it absolutely and promptly. 😉

It’s just stupid that in 5 years I’ll have a lot of cabling and hardware on the Raspberry in the basement. Porting all that to NUC would be very tedious.
And beautiful would also not look nice in the kitchen 🤔, I think because I would get in trouble 😉.

You will be satisfied. If you face some problems write it here. I played much around with this stuff…
