Pimoroni has some in stock https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/raspberry-pi-4?variant=29...

> This product is limited to 1 per customer

Oops, sorry didn’t notice that they are doing this now. I’ve bought some at few weeks of distance tho (a zeroW and a 3B)

Most people just need one, fortunately.

Sure, that's probably true. Wasn't what I asked for in my original comment though :)

Why are pis so often limited like this, is it a requirement from the foundation? Just curious.

Demand outstrips production. Especially with a chip shortage and lots of people stuck inside lookin for projects.

So why does the retailer benefit from limiting like this? To sell more starter kits etc?

Are there any other, more available cheap boards, that could run a simple web server?

ive reflashed old routers with openWRT into a server cluster, they are a lot more portable, quiet and power efficient, of course this doesnt scale up well as the hardware has its limits. keep in mind you dont have to host the entire website on one server, so you can balance the load that way if you need to.

Check out some of the supported boards for armbian, nanopis are usually pretty cheap and decent enough.

It's a bit more work, but for single-digit quantities you could just buy one per store from a bunch of vendors, possibly repeating weekly or whatever until you get the desired number?

> Maximálně 1 ks na zákazníka.

Which I assume means something like "This product is limited to 1 per customer"

https://botland.com.pl will sell you up to 10.

Thanks, looks like a nice choice! Unfortunately they only have 2 (4GB model, rest is out of stock) in stock at the moment ("Available quantity: 2" it says), but will keep an eye for when they get re-stocked.
