SBC Hardware

[neville]

With the supply issues of the Raspberry Pi 4, what are others using for an SBC?

I am looking for a small affordable Linux based to use going forward.

Any info is appreciated.

Hello @neville,

You can install the SBC into different Hardware based on the specifications/requirements of your PBX.

Please check the specification from this Link:
https://www.3cx.com/docs/recommended-hardware-specifications-for-3cx/

Please also check the SBC guide:

Stavros, thanks for the quick response.

I know the specs, just looking for a device that others are using that is stable, runs Linux, and somewhat affordable.

I am going to replace several RP 3 that are still in place and need an affordable replacement.

Again, thanks.

Its about the same size a s Pi with one hell of a lot of power and run around $365 normally.

They come with windows, but you can load Linux if you like, we just let them windows and LTSB with a Remote Support Software installed and the SBC. Took all but 10 minutes to roll out.

It can be installed in a VM, especially if the office has a hypervisor already.

I'm also looking for a Pi4 alternative as a temporary home for an SBC pending a full host server rebuild where a Debian VM will eventually be employed. There must be something out there that people have used that is competitively priced and up to the task. Only about 10 local SIP devices to handle.

Same here, we're looking for alternatives for the Raspberry PI that won't necessarily be a mini PC with the associated costs.

I use 2 Intel NUCs for 2 separate SBCs. The low end ones work fine and are about $200
