Sparrow: Run Wazo engine on Raspberry PI

Hello everyone,

I m happy to introduce the first release of Sparow.

Sparrow is an unofficial build for armhf architecture of Wazo engine. This allows you to run a Wazo engine on a Raspberry Pi.

This first version is based on 19.17 release of Wazo.

The project website is available at this address: https://sparrow.b5.pm.
Here you can find all the information you need to use the project:

  • required hardware
  • installation instructions

Finally, I would like to wish everyone the very best for this new year.

Hello,

Thank you for your work and sharing to the community.

Hi Benoit,

this is great news! Thank you so much for all the work you put into this!

I am very interested by the performance you can get from Wazo on Raspberry Pi. Did you see any particular slowness when using Wazo?

For the moment I have not tested it itself in production, I will try to do that in the coming days.

What I can say about the installation process, I encountered timeout problems with a rather slow SD card, I documented how to work around them here:

My feeling, without looking for a rational thing to support it, is that wazo-auth was greedy in io.

I’ll keep you posted :wink:

I did not find the time to benchmark my installation thoroughly, I hope to be able to do it soon.

FYI: I just released version 20.01: https://sparrow.b5.pm/post/2001-release/
