  • Don’t use Raspberry pi.

    • It is overpriced and slow.
    • SD Card write speeds are low
    • you will need external storage
    • Arm architecture, so some programs might not work
    • power issues
    • slow USB

    A cheap old laptop will work a lot better.

    • it might not have AC wake up (if power goes out, you will need to manually turn it on)
    • it might have always on cooler
    • it supports SATA SSD without adapter

    I think Raspberry pi is only good if you need gpio, otherwise save money and use an old laptop.
