Latest Node compatibility with Raspberry Pi Zero W (ARMv6)

[Berny23]

#246

First, I suggest using a dev branch for working on this to avoid confusion with users.

Regarding Node compatibility, maybe creating a docker image with the node image as base could work. Latest Alpine Linux node image supports linux/arm/v6 (should be the same arch the Pi Zero W has). See: https://hub.docker.com/layers/library/node/22.15.0-alpine/images/sha256-5ef237d055ac3c076f47eda1310f2214eb23c30a53aecdc20c35fd17780fa4ee

Can someone try to run this image on a Pi Zero W?

If we end up using Docker, should the users build the container themselves, or should we ship the image via GitHub Releases?

[Berny23]

I would use GitHub's own Container Registry. Pushing the image via GitHub Actions is explained here: https://docs.github.com/en/packages/managing-github-packages-using-github-actions-workflows/publishing-and-installing-a-package-with-github-actions#publishing-a-package-using-an-action

It took a while, but I finally got Docker to build. I don't have a Pi Zero to test it on right now, but I'll test the Docker image on a virtual machine once the ongoing changes in my fork are complete.

I have Pi Zero and Pi 4.
I can try to test it in next couple of days

I will do some last changes and then provide the image, still need to figure out if docker containers can act as usb gadgets.

[Berny23]

I think only the host has to be configured as USB gadget and the container would just have to open port 80 and bind the host path /dev/hidg0 as read/write.
