How much SD size needed for armbian?
Does anybody know how much disk size armbian uses? I want to buy several SD cards for my cluster and need to know if 4gb work?

The Raspberry Pi supported OS is Raspbian Stretch which the Lite (without Desktop) CLi version will be OK on a 4GB Card:

Rather than negativity think outside the box !
RPi 4B 4GB (SSD Boot) RaspiOS64 ARM64
Asus ChromeBox 3 Celeron is my other computer...

Better go to the armbian website for more (and better) details...

Since these are the Raspberry Pi Foundation forums presumably you hope to run this OS on Raspberry Pi hardware?
Referring to https://www.armbian.com/download/, there does not seem to be a download of Armbian that is listed as compatible with an RPi board.
As a generic answer: download your intended OS image, unpack it from any archive that it is distributed in, and inspect the resulting disk image file. The size of that file is the minimum size of boot medium you will need for a basic installation.
