What cases did you use? I'm still looking for a good space saving case with good thermal performance.

Looks great! When do you think it'll be available?

@everyplace that's a nice find and a better option than what I tried the other day. Thanks for sharing. If you go with something cherubim custom I look forward to seeing that, too

After days of looking at options and stuffing my Interceptor into an enclosure not well designed for it, I must ask that you please put a compact, passively cooled, ruggedized enclosure on the product roadmap. I'd be happy to help with it. It shouldn't be that expensive or complicated. Either a well designed extrusion for the main body and cooling fins, with plates to close up the ends, or a machined 2 piece assembly should be pretty manageable.

@Axzez Support in my application, I'm more interested in a ruggedized, preferably passively cooled enclosure. Something like a Compulab FitPC4.

@Bill Nagel Are technical details about the POE board available?

This is very interesting... In my application, 12v and 24v passive POE is used to power cameras and long range access points. Would this POE board be able to support either or ideally both of these voltage options?

@Bill Clark sorry for the late reply- thanks for asking! I have mine set up as a file server on the regional emergency data network. It's working great so far, and I'm pretty impressed with it. With 5 SSDs attached, it only needs about 10 watts to run headless. I have 2 RAID volumes, one ext4 and one NTFS. I may try to integrate it into this kit if I can't find a good enclosure for it. https://tri-citiesraces.org/blog/what-weighs-under-25-lbs-and-supports-critical-communications-services-on-the-emergency-data-network

Half of the men and boys in the state of California with my last name are also named Bill :) High Bill ratios seem to stochastically increase risk of shenanigans & innovation

@Axzez Company for the time being, yes, though I may take another crack at patching the kernel when some of the more urgent projects are done. If there's time for you guys to put together more detailed documentation on the process or to create a downloadable pre-patched image I'm sure I'll use it in a couple weeks, and others will probably use it, too

@Axzez Company those look like the directions I was working with, but I got hung up on an unfamiliar warning and went back to trying to get the Interceptor OS to work for me

Thanks. could be, but it seems to be working well enough for now. I'm planning using it as a NAS on the AREDN mesh network and I think it's pretty much ready for action, aside from an enclosure. A bug in the 64 bit ARM Ubuntu OS caused the web services cluster to fail so I'm going to be tied to rebuilding that, then an x86 version and an NTP server.

Just tested using the ethernet connection while the WiFi is working, and it doesn't. Hopefully improvements or better yet, a Raspberry Pi OS with the required kernel changes already made can be made available to let users more easily utilize this board.

Upon reboot, the Ethernet cable in port A is still not working. Trying again from a clean install..

I gave up on WiFi and plugged in an Ethernet cable. Did a quick sudo apt update and upgrade. Now even the Ethernet connection dropped and doesn't work. It still reports an IP address, but no websites work and pings all say unreachable. Can more user-friendly methods be put into the OS? Armbian-config is open source and works nicely.

It still can't connect. Sudo ip link set wlan0 up didn't

This fails on a clean install of the Interceptor OS.

Nothing seems to get WiFi to work... the WAN in seems buggy, too, though that might be due to things I did to try to get the WiFi to work. I'd like to remove the DHCP server software. What packages should I remove? Would Network-Manager work normally if the DHCP server is removed?

When I click wlan0 and try to activate it I get the following result: Googling the error didn't lead me anywhere helpful. Do you have any insight into this issue?

I went in and ran sudo systemctl start wpa_supplicant and wpa_passphrase with my SSID and password, then sudo systemctl restart wpa_supplicant, but it doesn't seem to work. I installed cockpit and here's what I see on the networking interface:
