anyone tried and succeeded (or failed)? Any gotchas?

Its just a php application, with some rather standard php module requirements. With Apache, PHP, MySQL on a PI, it would run it.
My question for you though, why would you? A PI can only handle a tiny amount of web traffic at any one time, meaning if your website is busy at all, the PI will never keep up…

The purpose would be to have a cheap hardware solution for Mautic without having to set up a VPS, I mean, Wordpress is on these platforms where it can what sustain 200 users at a given time? With the Mautic email queuing throttled, I could think of a number of specific applications that it would be perfect for. Anyway, I can put it on my list of things to do.

Hi,
Having a raspberry pi for other than test server looks like good idea. But not as a live server. Do you have fix ip for that RPi? Do you have all ports open by your internet provider?
A $15 / month VPS would outperform an RPi4 any time in my opinion. If such a VPS is too small, you’d have to have a large amount of contacts, than you’ll be able to pay for a better VPS.
On the other hand: what a cool project.

If one really wanted to, they could set up a load balanced cluster of Docker Swarm nodes on a handful of Raspberry Pis, with multiple replicas of the Mautic container [mounting a Docker volume using the GlusterFS storage driver](https://autoize.com/glusterfs-for-persistent-docker-volumes/).
You would also ideally have a software load balancer in front of the Swarm (e.g. HAProxy) balancing traffic round-robin or least connections. The MySQL database would also have to handled by a couple of Pi’s in the Swarm with multi-master replication or a Galera cluster.
It would be a cool proof of concept showing how a single instance of Mautic could scale horizontally across low-powered hardware. Perhaps something really neat to demo at a conference booth, or at a lightning talk.

Hi,
I feel horrible, that this project took so long, but finally you all can be sure the void is filled. 🙂
I installed Mautic 3.1 on a Raspberry PI 2, and I have to say it went pretty okay.
In order to stay in control of my domain, but not to pay extra, I used cloudflare API to keep the domain updated with the dynamic DNS my home internet has, so the Rpi would be always accessible.
It is tracking a website with 400 daily users, so far without any issues, loading reasonably fast.
I also added Amazon SES as an email sending method, as email sending is not allowed on my IP. And it isn’t the proper way anyway to send emails, so I made sure it’s hooked up properly.
Bounce handling is also managed by the little Pi, as the subdomain has high availability.
I also benchmarked different actions, like segment update, campaign update and triggers, email sending. I don’t want to bore you to death, the detailed findings and a detailed command-by-command installation and a bunch of screenshots.
