Basically what it says in the title. I did a lot of searching in Internet. I think small form factor computers are mt best bet. But I still feel they are costly for my purpose....
Budget is not an issue actually. This is going to be deployed for customers but i want to it to be as cheap aspossible to get them maximum value for their money. Software stack is going to be minimal. Probably alpine linux or ubuntu server. Spec wise i think even an i3 level cpu is fine. Ram 8gb, hard disk 256 gb ssd should be more than enough. Dont require any fancy wireless stuff like wifi and Bluetooth.
So this will be deployed for customer sites. I dont think they will be happy with second hand stuff from ebay 😀 For my personal stuff i would have been happy with that though.
I know. I felt while writing the post that this feels wrong writing those words in same sentence. The scenario is that we would deploy the hardware on customer premises so it has to be supported and very reliable(hence enterprise grade). But i personally think that all enterprise grade hardware is way overkill for running ansible playbooks. So was trying to see if there is an intersection point between these opposite requirements.
I have one in the lab at office. Were abt to be thrown out. Nursed it back to life somehow. Good to play around plus company foots the electricity bill so win-win.
Not really. Just has to run till at least 5years at least. Since this will be deployed at customer site, pine64 and android both are not feasible. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Suggestions for cheap enterprise grade hardware to run linux headless.
