RE: Raspberry Pi in HA?

[Marcus Warrington <marcus.warrington@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe it has a built in SDCard slot to host the OS or image so you
shouldn't have to lose a USB's for the image.

For me I have a few ideas for intended uses ;


1)    XBMC - media player for each TV

2)    xAP controller / X10 bridge

3)    Data logger for my solar panels.

4)    SSL VPN access server / FTP server / House web server

5)    PVR Server using USB Tuners


I have a  vision of a rack unit stuffed full of Raspberry blades :)

That sounds good! I've just looked - they are building the Model B first
which I see has 2 USB as well as ethernet. I doubt I would consider a
non-ethernet version since reliability would be important and you can't
beat a piece of wire! However with 2 USB that would leave you a port for a
disk/stick plus another one for another device, or hub to a
keyboard/mouse/serial port adaptor for some other HA stuff.

I don't know anything about Raspberry Pi yet but what would be really good
would be to build a standard image to go on a USB stick with some nice HA
stuff in it - owfs, mrtg/rrd or munin, lighttpd, possibly even an HA
controller (e.g. MisterHouse but that seems to have lost all momentum).
This approach has worked quite nicely with the O2 Joggler - there's quite a
thriving community around it and about 3 or 4 main competing images
(depending on what you want to do).
