Hi, I’m trying to install Anthias on Dell Wyse 3040 which has a limited 7.7gb EMMC flash storage. I run into issues during installation during installation where Anthias begins to pull resources. I tried to search the forums and internet about the storage requirements, but most of the resources discuss platforms like RaspberryPi or Balena.
I have already attempted two installs, one with Debian 12.12 (minimal install without desktop environment) and another being DietPi (for x86_64 bookworm) and followed this guide. Dietpi, after installation takes about 2gb. This is the disk situation:
root@DietPi:~# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 915M 0 915M 0% /dev
tmpfs 188M 18M 171M 10% /run
/dev/mmcblk0p2 7.1G 1.6G 5.2G 23% /
tmpfs 940M 4.3M 936M 1% /dev/shm
tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
tmpfs 1.0G 0 1.0G 0% /tmp
tmpfs 50M 48K 50M 1% /var/log
/dev/mmcblk0p1 63M 12M 52M 19% /boot/efi
Please let me know if there’s a solution.
@Antriksh, we’d recommend using at least 16 GB of storage if possible. If you’re able, you could try booting from a USB flash drive with that amount of storage. Let us know how it goes. Thanks!
@nicomiguelino Ah! Thanks a lot for showing interest in this topic. I thought I’d go ahead with another installation with the existing EMMC and see how much space is actually used after the installation of Anthias, here is the abridged terminal output of anthias installation:

Please note that the installation ends with an error that there’s no space left, against what the system reports:

There seems to be 2.5G left. I’m still a novice linux user and trying my best to understand how it works. Please help me identify the issue here.
EDIT: I have now successfully installed Anthias on external USB HDD. It as taken about 12Gb. I can upload assets and schedule them as per requirements.
Thanks a lot for the help!
