Cheapest platform on which to run MSR

I want to add that I've been using a (Raspberry Pi) Compute Module 4 with 8GB EMMC on board
Way to go, unfortunately for me, the CM4 I/O board is the only part available. The Compute Module 4 is OOS (all versions), sigh.....
BTW, I love the case.....makes it all look very professional.@black-cat said in Cheapest platform on which to run MSR:

It's terrible right now, for sure. Just a reminder, rpilocator.com may be helpful. I'm asking him if he can add AU/NZ vendors, but I see PiAustralia has starter kits available (not just board, but a kit with a board). Pricey, but if you must have, maybe worth the premium.
For anyone it helps, it appears Semaf in Austria has stock of RPI 4B 2GB at the moment, and has since last night.
Update: Core Electronics (AU) also has the starter kit and the desktop kit in stock, and both come with a Pi 4 board.

If anyone is interested, I've published my model for the Compute Module 4 case on printables.com.

@black-cat I run Reactor and Portainer on a Pi4 without any issues.
The Pi is running Node-Red (bare metal), and in Docker: Teslamate (includes Teslamate, Grafana, Traefik, PostgreSQL, MQTT), Reactor (includes InfluxDB for Reactor, Chronograf, Telegraf), Gotify (a self-hosted notification platform), and a Tesla Powerwall integration (includes 2nd instances of Telegraf and InfluxDB, Grafana, and pypowerwall). Fifteen containers when you add Portainer itself. The Portainer GUI makes this all much easier to manage.

@Alan_F , thanks for the reply.
The difficulty I have is not running it but setting MSR configuration.
I haven't been able to locate where the config files reside. @toggledbits, could MSR have a goto button for setting the configs in the Tools page?
That would make setting configs extremely easy.aka Zedrally

They live in the
configsubdirectory of the directory you created. You're using Portainer? Should be in the configuration of the existing container (it's a binding to /var/reactor inside the container). -
Love your printed case, but it is not tall or deep enough to add the PCIE adapter for an m2 SSD. Have you come across any oversized cases for the CM4 IO boards that would accommodate use of the PCI slot.

If you tell me how much more clearance you need, I'd be happy to model a roomier version.

@toggledbits I have the CM4IO currently installed in a Waveshare CM4-IO-Board- Case-A metal case. The board is mounted to standoffs inside the case. I was able to remove enough of the front rim of the case to be able to mount the board without the cover, so depth is no longer an issue (There was already a small cutout area in the rim.) Overall the case is 6 7/8" wide x 4 1/8" deep x 1 1/8" high. It needs about another 1 1/2" in height, making the total height 2 1/2". I appreciate your offer to model a roomier case, but I don't have a 3D printer so it would be of little use to me. I guess that I will have to run it without a cover until the market catches up, assuming that the CM4 on CM4 IO is selling well.
