Hey yall, I want to get into self-hosting. I want to start from hosting on a raspberry pi, and I am just wondering if yall have any recommendations (I've never hosted anything before, but have experience in linux and programming). Sorry if it's bit of a stupid question.
honestly it is good to start with and for controlling machines like an array of 3d printers but a dumpster dive laptop will be faster. RPI4 is quite old now.
with that done:
jellyfin
smb server
syncthing
tftp with wake on lan / clonezilla to backup your other machines
It doesn’t. Not well. And for larger files, even on cable connection without transcoding performance is god awful, sometimes it doesn’t play, or stutters or you get awful audio desyncs. Don’t do jellyfin on rpi
One suggestion might be to load a Debian build on it and use it for docker containers. With docker containers you can do so many different things. I have a PI 4 and it does all of the following: PiHole - For blocking ads. (Everyone should have one of these) OpenMediaVault - For NAS Portainers - For loading docker containers Radarr - Downloading Movies Sonarr - Downloading TV Shows Tautulli - Monitors my plex server Overseer - Allows members of my plex share to request content. NZBGET and Real-Debrid Torrent Downloader Clients - For downloading content from usenet or real-debrid.
I have one Pi4 running all of these as docker containers. Have fun!
