Well Dennis,
have you collected any experience yet with static names on a standard Raspberry PI already? I am asking cause if there is no solution on a standard Raspberry Pi then netPI will not do better.
Additionally with netPI there is Docker and mapping USB devices into a container is a static mapping of the "/dev/" USB device into the container when it starts. So in case a USB got lost and reconnected again it may be that it is no more available in a container. This is not a problem of Docker itself, but lies in the type of implemention we support the socalled "priviledge" mode of Docker on netPI. We have restricted it cause of security reasons and it does not map automatically ALL "/dev's" into the container as it would normally do it.
So from the basic point of view I would say netPI with default Hilscher software on will not support your task. You need a blank netPI without SD card where you can run a Raspbian OS yourself with and implement the software you need without restrictions we have with netPI standard software ... and then we are back to the question "have you tried it on a standard Raspberry Pi" already since netPI without Hilscher software is 100% a RPi3B but in an industrial version.
Thx
Armin
