Install the Electrum Server in Rust (electrs) on the RaspiBlitz
Based on https://github.com/romanz/electrs/blob/master/doc/usage.md
Tested on the
- Odroid HC1 and XU4 (~18 hours)
- Raspberry Pi 3 B+ (very long time to build the database from scratch)
On an Odroid HC1 with SSD it takes ~40 minutes to build the code from source. Building the electrs database (need to be done once) takes ~18 hours and requires ~50 Gb diskpace.
Possible, but not recommended to use on a computer with less than 2 Gb RAM.
