Pi DBAN/ShredOS disk wipe station? (sh.itjust.works)

I have a pile of hard drives sitting around that need to be securely wiped. Does anyone know of something similar to DBAN or ShredOS for ARM that I can use to turn a Pi into a disk wipe station? It doesn't need to be a dedicated OS, just a package that I can run on top of armbian or whatever.

Arch Wiki has a rather decent article about wiping disks: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Securely_wipe_disk

Assuming your Pi runs a Linux distro, most of those tools should be already present on your system.
