FWWIW, I do run octoprint on a BananaPI (older 1GB model, don't recall the exact
modell, but I *think* it is an BananaPI BPI-M1

I'm not using a DE on the banapi, I login remotely to octoprint from another
machine or using OctoRemote on Android.

Not sure what you mean with image. AFAIC there is no "octopi-style, ready to
run" image for the BananaPi. /me installed it ages ago, and IIRC I used a
Debian installer for that. Said that, I'm not sure what BananaPi you are
getting, but https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Allwinner lists a few,
and a few as
marked as "unsupported bootstraping."
