Where to buy the hardware

What to buy to run Warda on a Raspberry Pi, and shops that sell it, by country. The user guide gives the same advice in each language, with the shops of its countries (English).

Checked on 2026-10-11. Prices, stock and the shops themselves change: look at the page of the product before you buy. Warda has no affiliate link and earns nothing from these shops: no commission, no agreement with any of them. They are listed for convenience, not endorsed.

What to buy#

Part What to take Why
Board Raspberry Pi 5 or Raspberry Pi 4 The two models Warda supports (the image and Raspberry Pi Imager list exactly these two). Buy it from an approved reseller of Raspberry Pi (column "Approved" below) for a genuine board and the official warranty.
microSD card 32 GB, application class A1 or A2 (U1/U3, V10 or better), from a reputable brand: SanDisk, Samsung, Kingston, or the official Raspberry Pi card Warda needs 16 GB at least; 32 GB costs about the same and leaves room. Buy it from the brand's own store, an approved reseller or a retailer selling it itself — not from third-party sellers of a marketplace: fake cards (a false capacity, very slow, failing early) are common there. The check of Raspberry Pi Imager catches some of them, not all.
Power supply The official one: 27 W USB-C (5.1 V, 5 A) for a Raspberry Pi 5, 15 W USB-C (5.1 V, 3 A) for a Raspberry Pi 4 A phone charger often gives too little at 5 V: undervoltage, random restarts, corrupted cards.
Case Raspberry Pi 5: a case with cooling — the official case of the Pi 5 (its fan is built in), a case with the official Active Cooler, or an aluminium case that acts as a heatsink. Raspberry Pi 4: the official case is enough for Warda; a heatsink case is better in a closed cupboard The Pi 5 runs warm. Warda uses the network port: keep it reachable.
Network cable An Ethernet cable (RJ45) long enough to reach your router Warda is plugged in with a cable, never over Wi-Fi.

A starter kit (board, power supply, card and case) from an approved reseller is a simple choice: check that its card is A1 or A2 and its power supply the official one.

In the tables, "sells" uses: board, card (microSD), power (power supply), case. The electronics shops sell all four; the large retailers are listed mainly for the cards. "Approved": on the official list of the approved resellers of Raspberry Pi (https://www.raspberrypi.com/resellers/) on 2026-10-11; "—" means not found on that list, not that the shop is unofficial. At a marketplace (Amazon, bol.com, eMAG…), choose the offers sold and shipped by the shop itself.
