Some of you mat know if you frequent the MVC dev site that I am also into Raspberry Pi. With the recent release of the Pi 4 *Gb version I decided to install the 64bit Raspberry OS and see if I could get the Snitz MVC.Net version to compile and run using Mono.

Installing Mono and the monodevelop IDE was fairly painless, and to my surprise so was porting over the code. so easy that it only took a couple of days of tweaking and here it is running using a Raspberry Pi as the backend server.

Got it working through nginx now so can be accessed externally https://mono.themediawizards.co.uk/

The main Forum works apart from email (forum uses a third party Postal library to allow templated emails but that isn't working, so am fixing that currently)

you can log in as testuser/password if you want a poke around

Unfortunately the way it currently loads the addins does not work, so may have to rework/think how that works (it may just need a few tweaks but not had chance to dig into it yet)

Having said all that, considering it is running on a Raspberry Pi it performs reasonably well.

plugins now all work OK, the only thing currently not working are subscription emails which I should have sorted out in the next day or so.

For anyone who thinks I'm pulling your leg, here is the code in monodevelop on the Pi

For sure!

I'm converting a Snitz forum over into an inventory management program. It's easier for my needs rather than starting from scratch. I'm getting my oldest son into Snitz. He cut his teeth on .NET ... I'm trying to help him be retro. Never know when he might need it. It's like playing PacMan, Asteroids, etc.

OK. Thanks!

Well, I still enjoy Snitz. I am working on two classic forums. I'm not up to learning .NET ... haven't been yet, though my oldest son is into .NET stuff.

I now have the same MVC code base compiling on both platforms without any code changes required. I had to change a few things to get everything working on Mono, but the same changes worked in windows too, I still need to do some more testing but will hopefully be releasing it soon.
