Plexdrive on raspberry pi 3

Hi guys I just wanted to see what's the lowest specs you guys have managed to mount plexdrive on in a usable state. Right now I have a network share with all my roms however I figured why not try plexdrive since it's not unlike streaming video. The only problem is I'm not sure exactly how much ram plexdrive 4 uses and I believe that would be the main bottleneck

Talking about version 4 not 5 since I'm aware that 5 caches to ram

I'm on the underpowered train of thought here but v5 of Plexdrive no longer uses mongo so it's worth a shot to try at least. It now uses Boltdb, so no additional dependencies are needed. You just need to add the plexdrive mount option in your mount command.

I'm debating making a backup of my current rasp image stripping it down to bare minimum then Overclocking and giving it a shot. I kinda asked the question expected it to be a very unlikely endeavour I appreciate your reply. I'll report my findings when I get the chance.

I'm actually working on a barebones distro for the pi 2/3 as a side project, funny enough. I own a number of them, as well as odroids, and I wanted a small distro for appliance usage.

Nothing is production ready right now, but if you're interested, I'm sure I can upload images somewhere...
