Virtual Box Failed me, Need help with Ras Pi4?

1

So long story short over month of sand boxing my setup, which consists of more than 50 devices and building a very sophisticated Node Red on Virtual Box. Hassos doesn’t even boot up anymore post an update. I am very disappointed as all my effort went down the drain. :frowning:

Now I am thinking of switching to Raspberry Pi 4. However, I have following concerns:

1- Is it powerful enough to run face recognition and etc?.
2- Can I access it remotely to reboot it incase something goes wrong? (I could TeamViewer on my pc and simply reboot the virtual machine.
3- is it as fast as a virtual machine, would there be a lag in executing automation?
4- Can load my setup back on to a virtual machine incase I change my mind?

I am really looking forward to and appreciate any helpful comments and suggestions.

So today I did bite the bullet and switch from NUC VM to raspberry PI 4 with 4gb ram and 128gb (only $5 more than 32gb so why not?) of storage. So far its load very quickly and I am very please with the result over x-mas break I am going to re add all of my node red automation one by one and I will update my results here.
