Raspberry Pi boards are hard to get, but probably also next year. So we have to have a strategy to survive without new Raspberry boards. Sometimes, a problem can be a chance. This is what we will see today. Stay tuned if you want to get a cheaper, faster, and prettier Raspberry replacement. Spoiler alert: It will be “Back to the future.”

Great video, but the conclusion is not unexpected, as I was one of the people who commented about your infatuation with rpi's😀 Anyway, the proxmox helper site is great, I installed the HA directly with their script with no hicks. I run proxmox on a 8th gen NUC8i5BEH, and with HA running on a VM, node-red on LXD container, a bunch of docker apps on a debian server and plex on a debian cloud image. In a day of avegare use with a Shelly plug I measure 11 W on average obtained from the total daily KWh consumpiton. It would be interesting to know about your consumption measures, I have compared Shelly plugs with Aqara zigbee and Fibaro zwaves plugs. Not much of a difference between Shelly and Aqara, but Fibaro consumption oscillations were very high and unexplained. Last thing, on Aliexpress I found a pfsense mini-pic with a celeron N5100 for 132 Euros, barebone. I am thinking of buying it to replace my pfsense which consumes too much power.

And by the way you can run docker on an LXD container, but one has to check out keyctl on the feature line on the container. In my experience, the docker containers making usage of the tun/tap interfaces, e.g. openVPN, do not work properly on LXD.

Did you also think about using an APU2? https://pcengines.ch/apu2.htm How would that compare to the thin clients you're using? It's a Swiss company that make very solid/reliable hardware for applications like Linux based routers. I also use them for other applications, like hosting Nextcloud or Pihole.

Hi Danilo, I did not know about the APU2 boards. But this time, I did not look at new devices. I do not think I would go for a PC-like single board because we get ready-made machines at reasonable prices. I think the series is much higher for these standard devices. I assume PCengines focuses on customers searching for an X86 computer to include in their machines.
