Over the years here one of my automation servers has been the Pine64 2Gb computer. Initially running HS3 on it and it is doing well today. It is about twice the size of an RPi. The Pine64 computer is running Ubuntu 18.04 at this time and does well. It sits on the server rack today.
Over the years redid one of the Leviton media cans. In it today is one 24 port managed switch, 8 port POE switch, Leviton patch panel for 24 ports, Leviton telephone patch panel, VOIP box and ISP Modem (s). It is a bit crowded. The OmniPro 2 (can 1 of 2) includes a micro openWRT router. I want to upgrade the OpenWRT router to using the RockPi4 as a firewall and automation server. And over time move the PFSense firewall (which is on the rack) over the Leviton Can.
I was planning on using the Rock64 4 Gb computer for this and have waited now 2 years for a design update to include an RTC battery. None ever came. Only promises that next hardware release would include said design change.
Found a new RPi sized box which is even better than the Rock64. It is called the RockPi4 and it even does 4K / CEC video such that I can use it as a server and or K box.
