For those of you who use Raspberry Pi’s in your home environment, I’m curious as to what you use them for. What applications are you running on them? Do you have your Pi’s setup in a cluster?

    RPI4/400 is perfectly capable as a little home server. All it needs is a good SD card.

      Get an eMMC module ($10) for the Pi or buy something similar with one built-in. Much faster and more reliable.

            This is my case! It only takes SATA m.2 drives, which which I also had a spare of sitting around!

            So now I have this badass SSD pi4 4GB and all it does is share a 5TB hard drive between all my computers through OMV.

            I need to learn how to do a docker. I HAVE FAILED at docker and Portainer. All I want is to have it also torrent through a VPN.

            Edit: OH AND I FORGOT it turns your rubbish mini HDMI bullshit ass dick connectors into REAL HDMI

      Hmmm, I’m just using OMV on mine to make it a server that I can use to transfer files around my house.

      Do you have any tips on where I could get started doing more? I haven’t had success with Docker or Portainer and I’d love to have some software hosting files like OMV, and a torrent client running through a VPN in another container.

        OMV is quite limiting and maybe a little heavy for the pi(?)

        Docker is straightforward Idk what to say You install docker and docker compose on host and run some compose.yml’s to soon up your services

          I’m an extreme a Linux nub… would you happen to have any further reading or videos you would recommend? Without OMV, how would I share my HDD on my network?
