 laurynasp | What i can share is that my aim is to have as automated setup as i can, hence I am using nixos to run ha in declarative way, and for that reason i picked raspbery pi 4B because it is most compatible. (I am using 8GB rather than 4GB but that is an orthoganal matter).
However, for my journal of automated/scripted/decalrative setup of ha, I have been rather disappoitned, because I was not able to find an easy way to automated onboarding, but that is home-assitant's issue, not nixos modules issue. Still, ha module on nixos on pi 4B is the best i was able discover so far.

 @hexa:lossy.network | 4 vs 8 GB does matter, if you want the rpi to evaluate and rebuild itself | 14:00:23 |

My guess is that most ppl workaround to "redeployment" of the configs state is via restoring backups

| laurynasp | Good point! Hexa, if deploymetns are build remotely, i.e.g by running nixos-rebuild --target-host user@$NIXOS_INSTALL_TARGET_IP switch --flake .#ha-rpi --use-remote-sudo on my main machine, would 4GB still be an issue? | 14:03:08 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | probably not | 14:03:26 |
