chlowden Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Hello I have an old portable mac running FMSA 11 in a dusty cupboard and it works fine. I am reading great things about Raspberry Pis and so I am wondering if anyone has tried to run Filemaker on a RPi? As apple is already using ARM processors maybe it is possible? I hasten to add that I have absolutely no programming, dev or linux experience, so this is a really neophyte question. Thanks for any thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wim Decorte Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I'm a big fan of RPI... but never tried anything FM on it. Windows 10 was going to work on RPI (at least a version of it), but I don't think that there are any OSX distros for RPI. And FM does not work on Linux... RPI is grossly underpowered though and FM is not exactly a lightweight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chlowden Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 Thanks for the reply. As apple wants to move away from intel, maybe a hybrid OS will emerge that can do simple tasks. Filemaker have flirted with different lite versions of the app, without great success. Who knows? But then again, RPi is not a very apple facing product.

Ocean West Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) I was able to use WebDirect on a RPI with an HTML5 browser wasn't fast but was able to edit, and create a few records in the sample database.

chlowden Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 OK. Sounds like the RPi is not upto speed as a FMSA server. Interesting to npte all the same. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
