Single Board Computer
The Need
I need to be able to work on code, run local development, scale up microservices, and run tests. I needed a Single Board Computer(SBC).
The device needed to have low power requirements.
The device should have a power switch allowing hard resets as required.
The server should run directly on DC Power.
Having a Single Board Computer(SBC) on the local network inside Olive is a requirement. Although we are nearly always connected when traveling, I found a need to work locally on a few projects. The RasberryPi is a great addition allowing me to have all the flexibility I need, with a small power footprint.
Goals
Run local services like SQL
Supply containers
Have local access to programmable Bluetooth Low Energy
Run directly off DC power
Use as little power as possible (No Fan, passive cooling)
Notes
Outcome
Having the ability to work on code locally has made traveling and working easier. Knowing that I can start a project and use my normal workflow without requiring stable internet makes getting things done easier and quicker.
