Comment on Wisest Upgrade from Raspberry Pi
DARbarian@artemis.camp 9 months agoPersonally, I only plan to run another dozen or so containers. What I want most is reliability/stability. I want everything I set up to, once it works, continue working without issue. This is where the Pi has begun frustrating me as it seems to just seize up sometimes. I do need as much storage as possible as I'm a bit of a media hoarder, but that can always be solved with more drives.

Makes sense. I think you’d be fine with pretty much any modern(post DDR4) motherboard/CPU combo these days. I feel Linux hardware support is only really shakey if you’re using a SoC without upstream patches or if you’re using brand new hardware/laptops. With that being said if you’re running a lot of containers on one host have you looked into docker compose or kubernetes? Maybe k8s is overkill for home use, but I think both offer support to restart containers if a health check fails. With k8s you also can spread out containers across multiple physical node, so you could just add a second RPI and “double” your resources.

Also worth looking at k3s if its running on a single node to reduce resource usage
