SBC recommendation for a small server?
for that price and feature set the odroid c4/c5 and the orange pi 5 (or 5b with onboard emmc) are the usual sweet spot. if you want zigbee i'd lean toward a board with proper usb (not just the otg ports some of the cheaper ones have) so your zigbee stick gets a clean port and a decent antenna position. one thing worth saying upfront from experience: skip the sd card for anything thats writing 24/7 like home assistant's database or pihole logs, you already know this but emmc or a small ssd over usb3 will save you a ton of corruption headaches down the line. and budget a few euro for a heatsink, the rk3588 boards in particular will thermal throttle in a closed case without one. for the support angle werner's spot on, sticking to standard/platinum boards on the download page means kernel updates keep coming and you're not chasing a dead community image in a year. raspberry pi 4/5 is the boring-but-safe option if you can stretch the budget, just because the software ecosystem assumes it exists. on the software side, since youre running pihole + HA + zigbee you'll basically be living in docker, which armbian-config can set up for you. if you ever want the rest of the self-host stack (nextcloud, file sync, vpn back in) without hand-rolling reverse proxy and certs, full disclosure im involved in an open source project called syncloud thats basically a thin layer that does one-click app installs and handles https/auth/updates for you on arm boards. its not for everyone, if you enjoy wiring up nginx and docker-compose yourself you'll probably find it too hands-off, but for a set-and-forget home box it takes the fiddly parts off your plate. either way the boards above will serve you well. -

Hi, thank, I forget this method. new result... same with 6.18.37: With 6.18.10-current-rockchip64 and rk3399-kobol-helios64.dtb-6.18.18-opp dtb file, Ok With 6.18.37-current-rockchip64 and overlay helios64 patch with armbian-config, Ko With 6.18.37-current-rockchip64 and k3399-kobol-helios64.dtb-6.18.18-opp dtb file, Ko more information: On "Cold Boot": System blink red After "Reset": Same crash like without DTB on previous Kernel like 6.18.10... I try edge with 7.1 kernel but not compile, finish with error during process. Back to 6.18.10 with dtb file patch and freeze with this stable config and kernel for this time, I don't have time to investigate more at this time. Have a nice day -

Armbian for RK3128 TVBox board
Thank you very much. Thanks to your detailed guide—as well as the one by "Chiều Nhạt Nắng"—I successfully installed Armbian on my TV box. I had struggled for a long time previously, following outdated instructions without fully understanding them; I kept unplugging and replugging the power cable, which ended up damaging the power IC (so now I have to use the USB port for power). However, thanks to your specific guidance (user 0757), I followed the steps and finally succeeded. Thank you! -

Armbian on emmc
Honestly, I've already forgotten what the problem was there. Most likely, I used the Armbian installer and specified where to install the distribution in the automatic image download mode. Before that, I had tried writing it manually. Besides that, I found an important nuance — if you install software through armbian-config, for example GNOME and Chromium, the Plymouth splash screen will be automatically configured at boot, and hardware video decoding will be enabled in the browser, which for some reason does not get enabled when installing manually. -

Armbian on emmc
Can I ask how did you fix it? I have the same problem but cannot get it to make it work.
