pimox7 VS inky

Proxmox [1] will see a boost in popularity, good. I'm using the free version in combination with the backup server on both small (several RasPi 4's spread over several countres running the 'PiMox' [2] port) as well as medium (DL380) sized systems and find it to be a stable as well as practical platform.

Starting with the https://github.com/pimox/pimox7 website I now have a four node HA environment (all on Pi4's, 4GB RAM each, 16GB SD card each) along with a 500GB slice of space on my home SSD Synology (for all VMs, etc). As of this moment all four are up, talking to each other, and I'm running a PiHole instance with high availability enabled (or at least that is what the instructions I followed tell me).

Same experience here, the PiMox repository on GitHub is I.m.o the official unofficial pve ARM-port. I really hope the pve team is going to either support or find a way to leverage the work already done by Tim & the rest, it would be a waste not to.

For anyone who wants proxmox on their ARM device, check out pimox

Not massively recommended but version called pimox works okay https://github.com/pimox/pimox7

I wonder if pimox (Proxmox hypervisor) will run on it.

The Pimoroni Inky Impression in your link comes with a number of useful example demos, including one (image.py) which shows an image of your choice. So the actual coding for your project is already mostly done :-)

Inky library by Pimoroni

I've been wanting to use my wHAT e-ink display for weather information, but nothing I was finding suited what I wanted. So I wrote up a completely new project using the provided libraries from Pimoroni for the display, while using pyOWM for the OpenWeatherMap integration.

Should be pretty easy! It's built to be flexible and work with different hardware. I just looked at the phat library and it should almost be totally feasible. Adding color support would also be possible, but will require a more work.

Uses a 5.7" 600x448px 7 color ePaper/eInk Raspberry Pi HAT from Pimoroni (quite pricy though) with a Raspberry Pi 3 that periodically creates a screenshot of a web app via CRON and then renders it to the display – their repo makes it quite easy. A refresh takes around ~20-60 seconds.

Yes I used their library, it's still actively developed.

Take a look at the html example in Pimoroni's library: if I remember right this was something to do with getting headless Firefox to screenshot a website, and display that on the InkyImpression. Phil Howard (Pimoroni's softwre guy) tweeted a couple of examples of his personal website on an Impression, so it shouldn't be too hard to get this to work for whichever website you want, surely.

I've seen this guide, and it seems the software comes with few examples and that this is their repo, right?
