I'm looking at doing a home assistant node with a satellite link to another node, it'll have the sat link, dashboard, integration for switch bot and smart plugs, dashboard, local bin collection and that thing that has like an image of a house on your dashboard that gets it's lights lit up or not depending if your in or not
Would a Pi 3 with a 128gb SSD be ok to handle this?

I used a Pi 3 B+ for quite a while and it worked but when using it, you felt is was working really hard.
Add-Ons were also not working.
I now use a Pi 5 with 8GB RAM and it works wayy better.

Oh ok, guess I'll have to buy a new pi 😂
What exactly does it need to run smoothly? Like minimum cores/ram/SSD?

it can depend on on the platform architecture. but if your looking at rpi's both a 4 and 5 work and i would recommend at least 4gb of ram. if you are getting a new one then a 5 probably makes more sense.

Look into a minipc instead of rpi5, I regret not going that route

okk

so just any micro pc will do?

anything with 4gb+ of ram should work fine

It also needs to support UEFI if you want to run it bare metal but that's all in my link already.

okkk, thanks

My rpi3b (1GB ram) is struggling to keep up and I have to trim down what I run to keep it stable (and I still restart it every week or so, which seems to help). Recently some Add-ons crash it when updating, so I can't update them anymore. Would not recommend it if you can avoid it. I'll be migrating away from it soon

This is slower than a pi...
