I was afraid you’d say that. Nevertheless, thank you very much for the information. So for the time being I will probably have to rely on my own solution. Nevertheless I hope to be able to replace at least Docker by the less ressource-hungry balenaEngine some day. But that’s already the topic of [another post](https://forums.balena.io/t/balenaengine-fails-on-raspbian/96249).
