Pi 3b to run syncthing

ADS-B antenna that feeds Flightaware, FlightRadar24, and ADSBexchange

I have been for about a year with one 8gb Pi 4 with a 500gb ssd. I bought it as a way to dip my toes into self hosting. Started with Home Assistant OS, but now I have a bunch of containers set up, such as Home Assistant, Plex, Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, qbittorrent, and a few others. I will eventually get something a little beefier to host my media, but will absolutely keep the Pi running.

I have one set up as an irrigation controller. I was going to build an OpenStack cluster to test configuration settings on (I run a production cluster at work), but gave up when the supply chain problems happened and prices skyrocketed.

I use my pi for 3dprinting management.

I used a pi 3 to host a Foundry server (TTRPG software).

I use Docker to simplify things, since I run two instances of it. Simple port forwarding setup within the docker container. the main reason I used a pi instead of my computer is so my players could access their dnd stuff all the time.

I stopped because I switched ISPs and they won't let me port-forward. My vpn supports it but the latency isn't ideal. I host the same thing through a cheap server now.

I've got several for random little tasks that crop up, but main use is for the conbee II I have running the zigbee network for all the smart lights. I've got a UPS hat using some old 26650 cells for battery backup, mostly so that if power cuts off I don't run into any issues with the setup and the rare cases where I have to take the power off the server rack for whatever reason. RPi has actually been rock solid for couple years now so no issues with that side, wife approval factor has likewise been high

Also got a Turing Pi but haven't had a change to play with it too much yet. For most everything else I'm running a docker and VMs in TrueNAS, but would probably change that setup at some point..

pi3 once died on me so i tried pine64 sbc and they never die...so no, i wont buy pis anymore.

Testing ideas with kubernetes before moving to the POC stage

I'm only using Pi 4 hardware:

• OpenWrt gigabit routers with SQM, multiple locations
• Home Assistant Yellow
• NAS with RAID1 (mirror), deprecated

I've got a few

1. Pi 4 with a 1tb SSD for my proxmox backups
2. Octopi for 3d printer
3. One running as a Spotify connect client for some "dumb" bose speakers in the lounge

K3's cluster, Gitlab, Ghost, Nextcloud, Elastic stack, and some other stuff.

Pi 4 running Home Assistant.

A second one sitting in a box meant to be the first of a cluster, until they disapeared

One runs Home Assistant (Pi4), and an older one runs RetroPi (Pi3) for my arcade cabinet.

I have another Pi3 that I used to use as a Steam Streaming device to put my PC games on the projector.

Using a Pi3b to run AdGuard Home and a TailScale subnet router.

I've got another Pi3b running Octoprint/Klipper for a 3d printer, but I'm currently migrating that to Mainsail running on an old SFF PC so I can run multiple printers with Klipper off the same PC.

The rest of my stack is on an actual server running UnRaid with like 50tb raw storage.

I will say that TailScale has been annoying asf with their subnet router setup not actually forcing the correct DNS for AdGuard Home so I can have ad-blocking while away from home. I had to move back to a pure Wireguard setup directly on my router for DNS to work properly.

I use a Pi4 to run one of my HAproxy nodes. It does die once in a while from not enough power because my power brick is pretty old at this point. Other than that its great. I used to have a cluster of Pi3's bit I'm transitioning cluster managment systems so they aren't doing anything right now. I recently got a Lichee pi and that will most likely replace them once I get it all working.

use it for home assistant. I'm astonished because my test install from years ago on a pi that's around 7 years old is going with no intervention aside from updates. it's crazy robust.

for a while my laptop was slow and I needed a test local environment rebuilding with webpack so I set up a newer pi that ran the Dev servers so my laptop didn't choke. I've got a better laptop now.

I have a 2 running teamspeak for gaming with my wife (separate rooms and don't want to yell) and pihole. And a 3 hooked to a 3d printer running octoprint.

Home Assistant setup, along with media hosting for a hard drive full of all my music and movies.

One for home assistant, one for very basic network services (dns, auth, dhcp) that I want up all the time even if I have to shut down the router+firewall. If I have to upgrade the firewall box I don't want to be unable to print, or use smart home stuff.

One for pihole

I used one in the past for Unify Controller but it broke

Another one is a USB wifi hub to control my telescope equipment remotely.

I use a pi 3 to host backups from my main server via restic. I also have a pi 4 that I use as a VPN server

I've got one as a Pi Hole, one as a Kodi box, and a few others I keep around as basically electronic multitools.

Yes, a Pi 4 with 2GB RAM. It is running Navidrome (music server) with my music collection on a 2TB SSD connected to it. Works great.

The energy consumption at around 3-4 W, pretty neat!

I have a 4 meg Pi 4b running Pi-hole and Mini-DLNA. It’s rather under-utilized for those tasks, but it serves them quite well.

I have a pi zero running as a doorbell camera, alongside a couple more CCTV cameras, and a pi4 running in kiosk mode connected to my motioneye server displaying said camera streams on a crappy old TV in my home office.

I have a Pi 3 running Home Assistant. I also have two Pi Zeros that I have MP4 Museum installed.

I use MP4 Museum to run projected Halloween decorations mostly but it's great to have a little box that will take a video file from a thumbdrive and dump it out the HDMI port on boot.

I run AdGuard Home (mostly for malware domain blocking and DNS caching) on my home server, and the Pi acts as a secondary DNS server. I use AdGuardHome-Sync to keep the config in sync across the two.
