Ask HN: Have you experience of deploying Raspberry Pi in the field?

5 pointsby radagastover 11 years ago
My experience with the Raspberry Pi is limited to running two at home as a NAS server and a media player. For those functions I love them for being completely silent and the low power usage.<p>So I started wondering if anyone is deploying them in production to customers where any kind of servers with limited processing power are required? For example audio&#x2F;video displays or monitoring of something via a external circuit.<p>While mine at home have been running non-stop for almost two years without any trouble I am not sure about deploying them in the field.

I guess I am hoping for something on the lines of &quot;Don&#x27;t do it man, we tried and half of them melted or went missing within two months&quot; or &quot;Been running about 20 of them at various customers doing monitoring work and have yet to see a single failure other than a failing charger&quot;.
