v18 SBC on old Raspberry PI 2 (due chip shortage)

[jener]

Hi all,

Is is possible to install the latest v18 SBC on a PI 2?

At the moment we are busy rolling out a self-hosted 3CX solution at a customer with two offices. Normally i would use a PI4 as SBC but they are not available due chip shortages.
Will a PI2 handle the load? The main office is about 20 phones and branch office just two phones.

Thanks in advance!

Erik

I've managed to source some 2GB Raspberry Pi 4's and confirm they will do the job but even they have sold out now. I'm not sure whether a Pi 2 is sufficiently specced - should work for two phones but 20 I'm not sure..
Why not use an old PC at main office until you can get your hands on Pi4?

cause it needs to fit in a small patch cabinet wich is already loaded with other networking equipment

Includes lots of bits you don't need and is therefore overpriced but in stock in Uk - https://www.okdo.com/p/okdo-raspberry-pi-4-4gb-model-b-starter-kit/
