Hi @ all,
i want to use the rock64 board like an always on and all-in-one device. The provided functions and features will be the following:
1) allways present:
-ac-wifi router: (LAN gigabit connection to a (customer crap owned by isp-provider) cable router that is forced to act in bridge mode (cable modem only) it will be my router deliverering my wifi-clients via a wifi-dongle (USB3 port)
-advertising filter (pi-hole, maybe native or via docker container)
-print server (there is a pupular Service for Linux but i forgot the name
) 2) on demand: unused external hard drive will be powered off through USB2 powering abilities of the board
-4k/full hd media player (connected over HDMI 2.0 with smart TV, running Kodi, hopefully with CEC support as fall back using kodi remote for android, external hard drive connected with (one of the USB2 ports, not the OTG port)
-downloadstation (jdownloader, maybe native, maybe docker container or headless used with myjdownloader web)
-backup scheduler/storage
-retro gaming (just for testing, will be not used very often)
-"backup" secondary pc solution if some other the device is out of order
-maybe some other stuff, see what the future brings
For now I'm not sure which OS to choose. At the moment libre elec sounds ok, but Debian or Arch might be a better choice. Do you think the 4GB Edition is able to master all the stuff? Of course I will order a eMMC despite I'm not sure which size.
I would be very thankful for your feedback, opinion, comments and ideas.
