Has anyone tried Octoprint on any Raspberry PI alternatives?

[boros]

If your are interested in running octoprint on other single board computers. I created a few months ago a “plug & play” distribution based on OctoPi and Armbian.

It has the following features:

Core (installed and enabled):

Optimized armbian Debian buster.
Latest stable octoprint version.
Selection of top octoprint plugins.
HAProxy with self signed keys for ssl access.
Avahi service: Bonjur addvertisement (this enable to acces with host-name.local via ssh or http/s)
SSH console access.
USB OTG console access (if available in the board)
Enabled i2c-dev,spidev (if available on the board)

3D printer related software:

Quick install of Klipper.
PlatformIo core for building 3D printer firmware.
Marlin 1.1.x & Marlin 2.x.x firmware (bugfix versions)

Extras (installed but disabled):

MPGStreamer USB camera support (experimental)
SMB shares to remote edit configuration files from a remote PC.

Images or build instructions are here:

Now it supports only three boards (Opi Zero, Opi One, Opi PC). But it’s extensible to other boards.

I am new to 3D printers and just picked up an Ender 3.
I have an older Genesi Efika (MX53 or MX6 - both are Cortex A8.
Debian is a supported OS, is it worth trying to go this route or just buy a Raspberry 3b?

Hm with this specs i would go for a raspberry pi if you want to use a webcam.
But if you use a standalone webcam which provides the stream via lan or wifi and you don't want to use the timelapse feature the board should be enough.

Thank you!

This week I have rescued two old (year 2017) khadas VIM2 v1.2 and they are working really fine with octoprint and klipper !

What is currently best option to buy and available? Lots of options previously mentioned aren't available now.
