Since PostgreSQL can run on Windows, macOS, or Linux, why wouldn’t an installation of EDB Postgres on an SBC work?

Every full version of resolve comes with the option to install PostgreSQL (though many people miss that option especially in the Mac installer), it is my understanding that it's not materially different from other greSQL distros but using the included one from blackmagic ensures that it is installed to the location that BM expects it to be and is the version that BM recommends.
As far as will it work, I don't see why it wouldn't people have been experimenting with a lot of different SQL solutions. There was a thread previously where some had gotten it to work with an AWS instance, and I have had success running it on virtual machines on my storage.
Will it work if a very different question than will it be officially supported or endorsed by a post house or professional to work in a production environment. I would love to hear how it works out once you set it up but it would be hard for me to recommend you do it in a professional environment as you are now dealing with a system that is much less powerful than the normal deployment.
If you do decide to do it please let us know how it goes!
