You are right that, at the moment, the system inherently requires a 64-bit OS. We currently support Debian-based distros; it should work with other parent distributions as well, but you need to translate the installer script ;) But we definitely need to highlight this more clearly in the docs. Thanks for pointing it out!

We also don’t have a definitive hardware spec requirement yet. We’ve tested it on Raspberry Pi 3s and later models (so anything more capable than a 3 should be fine).

Running on ESP32 is tricky because it would require porting libp2p to a embedded (which, as far as we know, nobody has done yet). However, we are considering support for embedded “light” nodes that run only a limited portion of the stack. It depends on the feedback we get. Do you have a use case where you’d need it to run on embedded?
