Selfhosted

I have a couple of Pis, but currently only using the Pi 4 which is my Kodi box (LibreELEC). I planned to use my older Pi 3B as a web server, but I also have Proxmox on a NUC running as my main home server, so I don't know if there's any advantage to using the Pi at this point.

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..

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 a Pi4 that is running Homebridge and pihole.

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 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.

I have a water container I need to take care of in my house. An ultrasonic sensor hooked to my raspberry 3b uploads the collected data to my vps that later serves an html through Flask to show the water level. It has a few alarms so that I can take action at the appropriate time. The ultrasonic sensors HC-SR04 suck and I have to replace them quite frequently. Other then that it works really well.

I currently have Pi-hole and Unbound running on my pi4

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.

Testing ideas with kubernetes before moving to the POC stage

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.

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 have Home Assistant on one and Kodi (Libreelec) on another

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!

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.

Pi 4 running Home Assistant.

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

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

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.

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

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 have four Pis. They're running Pihole DNS & DHCP, a reverse proxy, and torrent clients. I don't have them setup as a cluster, been meaning to look into it but I don't want to add complexity so I'm putting it off.

I use my pi for 3dprinting management.

I use it for WOL on my PC
