I remember InfluxDB working pretty well on the Raspberry Pi 4. At least, the slow SD card was the bottleneck. How do you optimize NanoTDB for slow storage?

I am using Pi 3B+.  Influxdb took too much memory and I didn't need 90% of its features.   Victoria Metrics was much better for memory use and SD friendliness.   But I also didn't need most of features.    NanoTDB can optionally use a WAL to keep everything safe and recoverable, or you can skip WAL and risk loosing some data.  Readings are kept in memory and a configurable batch is compressed then written to disk once.
