It has been very reliable. Been running for a couple of years.

But I do have a sense of unease about it. Too much spit and duck tape?

I mainly worry about the SD Card

Tried running RPi in the past, it’s masochism. Migrated that node to Odroid-HC4, more powerful ARM box with two built-in SATA slots.
