No, we don't recommend you to do this, it may damage your SD card. We recommend using the sudo poweroff or sudo shutdown command before disconnecting the power. This ensures that any unfinished file transactions are written to the SD card and the SD card is in inactive status. Unplugging the power supply while the SD card is working can sometimes cause damage.

Power failure can cause problems to various electronic devices, and DEBIX is no exception. If the power is turned off without a normal shutdown, the SD card may be damaged. This is because the system may write into the SD card when the power is off, leaving the SD card file system in an invalid state. Therefore, if you cannot prevent power interruptions, one way to make the system safer is to limit writing to the SD card, or even stop it completely. You can disable swap, enable logging to RAM, and disable systemd-timesyncd, all of which greatly reduce accesses to the SD card.

When it fails to start, please check whether the power supply is connected correctly and whether the voltage is high enough.

All electronic devices become hot in operation, and DEBIX is no exception.

5V power adapter. It depends on the power ability.

Provide a 5V3A power supply.

Please refer to DEBIX manual document on https://www.debix.io/

Yes. But we have debixes with loosing-heat cases.
