Is it possible to port SFOS on a Raspberry PI?

with 8 inch touchscreen and UMTS/LTE extension module or a surfstick?

Very nice, but no links and no comments on YT! Are there any SD-card images available somewhere?

sailfish 2.0 was ported to raspberry pi 2, I can’t find the links to the images but here you have info about it: SailPi | Hackaday.io, for testing may be fun to play with but I don’t think it is worth it otherwise as you will be stuck with a very old version of the system and a lot of security issues.

Oh thats a pity, I have some Raspi 4 with touchscreen. SFOS 2 is a little bit old.

Does Sailfish need something special to run? Wouldn’t it be possible to simply run a Sailfish rootfs on top of a Raspberry Pi kernel?

If someone can reply with evidence to the contrary I’ll be thrilled, but I don’t think it works that way.
I have a tablet that is natively supported by postmarketOS and mainline kernel, and I’d love to get SFOS running on it - but to my knowledge the best option was to start with Lineage and droid-hal. I struggled with that for a few months but never got it completely working (got screen, sound and touch, but not wifi, vibrate, camera, etc…)

There are several native ports without droids involved: PinePhone, PineTab, unofficial C2, Mind2. Should be possible to get your RaspberryPi running
