ARD02: Host operating system
Status
Accepted
Context
We need a consistent, supported Linux OS distribution, for Raspberry Pi hardware, that works well with Docker and long-lived automation.
Decision
Use Raspberry Pi OS Lite (64-bit) based on Debian Trixie.
Rationale
- Officially supported by Raspberry Pi
- Debian base aligns with server tooling
- Minimal footprint, no desktop, no bloat
Consequences
- Depends on choice to use Raspberry Pi hardware.
- Tied to Raspberry Pi ecosystem
- Alternative OS choices require a new decision
