I am thinking to setup relay on raspberry pi. I am just wondering will 8GB of ram be enough and if for how long? Also I have internet speed with 80Mb download and 10Mb upload. Is that enough ? The relay will be at unique location for Cardano, as currently there is no any relays at that Geo location. ---

not the best connection but you can try… should work > **[Pi-Node/Pi-Pool Guide 🥧](https://docs.armada-alliance.com/learn/stake-pool-guides/pi-pool-tutorial)** > > A guide to building a 4 watt per Pi, Cardano Stake Pool. A reference guide for the Pi-Node.img.gz. ---

or u can set the TraceMempool to false and this way the node will use only ~4G of RAM… but u will not see TX processed anymore ---

I will try it for sure. Does anybody know what internet speed is required? ---

min 10Mbit recommended 100Mbit keep me informed about your progress. I am interested 🙂 ---

since there is a continuous communication between relay nodes and your core/blockproducer it is valid for both directions - up/download
