    Running "diskless" Alpine Linux is a good alternative. I've been running it on my pi without many issues for 2+ years.
    All of the system configuration is stored in an apkovl file (which is actually just a compressed tar), the file is usually no more than 100-200KB. It's easy to back it up with even just a basic cronjob copying it to a remote server over ssh.
    If the SD card dies, you just untar fresh Alpine onto the SD card, put the apkovl file in /boot partition and it's like nothing ever happened.
    Diskless Alpine is very frugal on SD writes, so failures happen less often than other distros.

    As someone wanting to get home server setup, this is something I hadn't considered, netboot the pis, I've already converted them to endurance SD cards so they've lasted allot longer then normal.

    A great (simpler or maybe even complementary) way to approach this can be cloud-init, so you just configure you're OS in the yaml config put it on a clean image an of you go, in case anything goes wrong you just flash it with a clean image an the config or you can maybe even configure the system readonly.

    Yeah network storage would probably be a great way to deal with the SD card thing, that and when it comes to backups it sure makes your life easier.
    Pis definitely have their place, and I do own a couple, ones a RetroPie, another is a heatermeter to automate my charcoal smoker. But up in Canada anyways they're like $70-$100 for some reason. I bought a couple R320 rackmount servers with 8 core xeons and a LOT more ram for $100 a few years ago, and they only draw ~50w idle. So yeah Pi's are neat and have their place but I wish I could get them a bit cheaper, compute wise they just don't have the best bang for the buck. Power efficiency though they're hard to beat.

    There is one major project I still need a solution for and it might go well with network boot.
    I would like to have an RPi behave like a mass storage when plugged into another device via USB.
    Background: I have hacked a gaming console to archive my games in digital form. The console's internal drive is not redundant but it accepts external drives for storing the games, so if I could make an RPi behave like mass storage while actually being backed by a 4 bay NAS that would be amazing.

    • @marekstanicki
      @marekstanicki Před 2 lety +3

      That’s true. The quality on the Pi’s onboard audio isn’t great, especially for Audiophiles. Using a good USB DAC (or a HAT (Hardware on-top) DAC - from HiFiBerry for example) would improve the audio quality of the Pi over the onboard audio. If the Fosi Audio amplifier has a USB input, then you can plug the Pi directly to it and use the Fosi Audio interface as your DAC and amplifier, not just your amplifier. I have an old Sony amplifier so I use a USB DAC from Hidizs (S9) that’s plugged to the Pi and the Pi sounds phenomenal from it. John Darko, from “Darko Audio”, is an audiophile youtuber located in Berlin that has a series of videos covering RPi use for Audiophiles and how one can turn a Pi into a network streamer. Randy from “Cheap Audio-man” also covers the same thing. John also covers an alternative to BalenaSound called Volumio, which is what I use on my RPi 4. Volumio is Linux-based and open-source, and it packed with tons of features (ex. Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, multi-room). Volumio also allows me to plug in a CD drive into the Pi and use it as a CD player. It’s pretty easy to setup; however, it requires an SD card for installation and I’m not sure whether it allows a ‘diskless’ boot from a network.
