30$ SBC - nanopi neo3 as 3cx sbc

[strelok89]

after some fiddling around i managed to run 3cxsbc fully working on armbian and nanopi neo3

the whole board and 16GB SD card and power supply costs around 30$ including delivery at aliexpress

this is what i done to make it work:

initial setup:
flash the sd with the buster armbian release -and set the root password static ip and all what you need

3cx sbc setup:

wget http://downloads-global.3cx.com/downloads/sbccluster/3cxsbc.zip

chmod +x 3cxsbc.zip

echo "deb http://downloads-global.3cx.com/downloads/debian buster main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/3cxpbx.list

echo [arch=armhf] "deb http://downloads-global.3cx.com/downloads/debian buster-testing main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/3cxsbc.list

sudo apt --add-architecture armhf

sudo apt install systemd-sysv:armhf

sudo apt install systemd:armhf

sudo bash 3cxsbc.zip

rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/3cxpbx-testing.list

Was it for a try challenge or do you plan to use this unsupported solution to save few $ ?

Was it for a try challenge or do you plan to use this unsupported solution to save few $ ?

both . i going to use it for my clients . the first one going to be shipped on sunday
i don't see any problem with it ,as SBC it's pure software solution as long as debian linux supported and the architecture SBC doesn't care which hardware it runs beneath

my buisness model based on hardware renting , so if it costs me 70% less for hardware and i getting the same monthly payment for it, than it's a bargian

OMG are you serious? A Raspberry PI is too expensive for you?

yep 100$ vs 30$ . 100$ for SBC is too much.
on the other hand 30$ is super afordble which give it financial feasability to have more vast deployment of SBC and make the whole hybrid cloud solution more robust

 

[AWS2P]

Don't know where you are located but 100$ a PI is for a PI4 almost 4GB ram and 64 GB SD card with a nice cooled case otherwise it's cheaper than that.

 

[strelok89]

that's the local price at Israel . buying from ALIEXPRESS is 80$ +17% customs = 94$ imported.
for a cheapPI4 2GB RAM 16GB SD , CASE and power supply
