A raspberry pi 3 isn’t enough, or?
It should be fine!
Apparently, it's also 64-bit, so you can follow Raspberry Pi 4 instructions.

Get the binaries from below, and follow the instructions.
Apollo BTC Standard Software/Instructions


If your purchased an Apollo BTC Standard USB controlled version please find the software binaries for your system and instructions below:

Drive Almost Full - 456.74GB out of 457.45GB used ... what happens next.
~snip~
I'd honestly buy a 1TB drive and call it a day. Deleting stuff here and there will just cause you issues in the long run and there's not much to be deleted, anyway. Most of that storage is just blockchain. If you start pruning it, you can basically forget about running Lightning later down the road when they add a Lightning app.

This should be added to Apollo GUI as soon as possible.
Alternatively, you can make a script or one liner to add this configuration option to bitcoin conf file, so affected users can apply this.
I disagree; pruning significantly reduces the utility of a Bitcoin node, and if you're paying an extra $300 for a full unit and run it 24/7, you better get all the benefits of it, right.
