Noah and Steve talk troubleshooting for your home network, and home automation. pihole) on RPis when for not much more there are multiple options with multiple GbE ports and faster processors.Noah and Steve have recommended Z-Wave devices for home automation. For example, a lot of people are running various 'single-purpose' network applications (e.g. HackerBoards before assuming that an RPi is the best fit for their application. I'd strongly recommend that people look around a bit on e.g. They've recently announced the Helios64 which will knock it up to 5x SATA with a faster ARM SOC, and comes with a hot-swappable drive enclosure that at least appears to rival the hardware of e.g. I replaced my x86-based file server with the Kobol Helios4, an ARM-based SBC with 4x SATA. Due to video encoding rpi-based camera solutions often get close to requiring one rpi per camera! x86 isn't the best for power consumption but opens up options as far as OS. For example, I run an NVR for multiple cameras on the ODroid H2 which has a quad-core celeron, dual GbE, and 2x SATA - for only around three times the cost of the rpi 4 B. On top of this there tend to be thermal management issues especially on the newer models.įortunately there are a lot of great options for SBCs now that are more powerful than the RPi. On the other hand, RPis quickly become overloaded for many tasks and so you end up needing a half dozen of them. I try to keep everything I have running 24/7 as low power as possible. I have both 3B+ and 4B running vanilla 64-bit Debian Buster.

Or if you're lazy, sakaki- is providing weekly builds here: įor Raspi 4 you can just rebuild the kernel for aarch64 and change the config a bit. Note that even if Raspbian is 32-bit only, you can totally run 64-bit OS's on the 3B+ and 4 series.įor 3B+ there's even a pretty stable UEFI bootloader.

I've also been very happy with the PC Engines APU2 router boards - they are great as small-form-factor servers or NAS builds as well. If you're open to x86 and want a bit more power, Intel NUCs have been around for a good time and AMD is pushing out Ryzen NUCs now.

Honestly it feels like the market's stagnated a bit around the RK3399 and Allwinner H5/H6, hoping there's going to be a new wave of interesting stuff during 2020.Ī really nice feature of some of these ARM boards is that you can go so much more free (as in libre) than with x86 chips. The 4B is actually the first to hold its ground, and still does price/performance-wise compared to the above. The earlier generation Raspis are honestly quite disappointing from a performance perspective, mostly because of the shared bus between Ethernet/Wifi/USB/storage. Many people also seem to like Orange Pi). Also Khadas VIM3, FriendlyELEC NanoPi, Rock Pi. There are several attractive alternatives to RasPi (Odroid already mentioned, beware though as most of the small boards are 32bit only.

If the HA part works well and I can make a failover region somewhere, self-hosted e-mail doesn't seem that unreasonable anymore. Possibly DNS, and external endpoints to front traffic. Right now it feels completely reasonable to get to a point where the only external services I really rely on is a CA and domain registrar. My goal is to see just how self-reliant I can be in terms of digital services. I'm currently in the process of setting up a HA Hashicorp stack (Vault/Consul/Nomad) + GlusterFS cluster in my free time at home with Raspberrys and some other small-board computers.
