I like, for my dedicated IOT servers that work 24/7, to use a Tv Box (not rooted). Why? They are small, ready to use, with a good case, and require little power (5V, 2A) that is easily upgradable to UPS.
The last HW is an X88 PRO Android 11, 4GB RAM and 32GB ROM with a mini keyboard included (€ 43.99). The node-red autostart is mandatory for my server.
The complete installation process is detailed here: deployment: android server · msillano/tuyaDAEMON Wiki · GitHub.
At the end you will get on your top-box:
- FTP <top-box-IP>:8021
- Apache v. 8.1 <top-box-IP>:8080
- MariaDB v. 2:10.9 <top-box-IP>:3306
- PHP v. 8.1
- PHPMyAdmin v. 5.1.3 <top-box-IP>:8080\phpmyadmin
- node-red v. 3.0.2 <top-box-IP>:2022
Note: The final instructions to install the 'tuyaDAEMON' flow are valid for any node-red application.
I hope that this information can be helpful to someone.
Enjoy
