Raspberry Pi and Filemaker

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

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

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.

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.

OK. Sounds like the RPi is not upto speed as a FMSA server. Interesting to npte all the same. Thanks
