What database for Node Red on Venus OS?

Hi guys,

I am using Venus OS large on a Raspberry PI with Solar inverter and Muliplus II with a Battery.

I am searching a database which can be installed on the same Raspy than Venus OS. The problem is that it is not possible to install docker or maybe influxDB on this device.

Do you have any idea for me?

SQLITE3 is available, although I've used this with python, I don't know if it works with node red.

My advise is to use a second Raspi with influxDB. There is a palette with influx-database access for node-red. Reason for using a second Raspi is quite simple: Influx is stressing any SD-card. Usually, even if industrial-grade, a SD-card survives not a single year until the database crashes. Loosing data from the database is a pity, but loosing control of the solar-system is a mess.

Best,
Wilm
