Scrapebox with a raspberry pi

Hi, do you know guys if there could be a way to use scrapebox in a raspberry pi? I'm just asking myself if it could be possible or not.

I know that raspberry pi don't run windows due to different architecture but maybe there could be some trick or any close solution..

Any idea?

I don't think so. I have not tried though to be honest.

I can tell you scrapebox can support a full install of windows or a full install of mac OS. It will not work on stuff like WINE because it lacks necessary dlls.

So I would assume the answer to your question is no. Also even if you could, Im not sure you would want to. Scrapebox is massively powerful and as such can use a decent bit of resources, and plenty of resources seems like the opposite of what raspberry pi is about. my 2 cents.

You can install windows on raspberry but scrapebox would crash because of architecture or lack of cpu power. You are trying to complicate your life

I hate it when I am my own worst enemy on something, lol

Hi, thanks for your answers! It was just an idea! I'm not even a coder or something..But it would have been interesting if scapebox was compatible. the raspberry PI are getting more powerful these days!

do not use pi, because cpu arm 32bit, u should use PC Mini Q3 , mini ITX or NUC

As others have alluded I think we have to first ask why you'd like to do that?

Actually I am planning / thinking of buying scrapebox for scraping linkbuilding opportunities. I am pretty new to seo and I want to create my own strategy while using just a few tools.

For finding linkbuilding opportunities I am actually using SiteAnalyzer and crawl big abandonned websites which have an open comment section (best is when their links are "follow" because they attract al lot of people who are looking for linkbuilding opportunities).

When the crawl is finished I check the pages with the highest numbers of external links. A lot of them are authoritary pages which attract linkbuilders like corpses attrack scavengers. After that I go to the comment section of these pages and I copy all external links I find and then it gives me a list of websites I analyse with majestic. Like that I can see all these websites backlinks sources and choose the ones I could use for my own websites.

Actually it works pretty well and that way I can find easily and without efforts linkbuilding opportunities. The only difficult thing is to find the big abandonned websites. It's even harder to find some in the right theme (specialized websites give you more relevant opportunities). It's why I would like to use scrapebox and automate the research of abandonned websites. And experiment with different footprints.

My goal is to automate all that process on a dedicated machine which would work 24h/24.

I thought of renting a VPS but I'm more of a lifetime licence guy. The less I pay for monthly plans, the better I feel. And actually it looks like having a cheap dedicated machine is more profitable at long term in term of cost. (even if you take the cheapest vps out there) It's why i thought of using raspberry PI for that project.

But as @beyeu88 said, I could just buy a cheap non ARM based computer. For example I found a 80€ mini pc in aliexpress with 4gb RAM and a 4core processor (1.96ghz) and windows 10. It's even cheaper than a rapsberry pi and could do the job actually.

I don't know if all will work as planned but why not experiment?

the question is why would you want to run it on a raspberry pi? doesnt really make sense to be honest..

It's because they are cheap and I am a student in digital marketing. One of my teachers wanted us to experiment things in raspberry pi. So I had this idea. Not the best I had in my life but I wanted to know if it was technically possible. Nothing more actually, it was just a question for the sake of knowledge.

Brother, I tried with pi its not good. its not worth the time too. VPS would be easy.

They asked you to do this in a digital marketing course??
