Raspberry Pi 4B (lemmy.zip)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by rook@lemmy.zip to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
 

As a complete beginner, what can I do with a raspberry pi 4b?

I'm basically completely new to networking and currently setting up a NAS. I have this raspberry pi 4b that I got but now can't think of a use case for it...

Any ideas of something that is very useful to host or have running on the pi4b?

Edit: I'm a complete beginner, and will use trunas on another server with jellyfin so my raspberry pi gets blown raspberries atm ๐Ÿ‘Ž

To build on all the great suggestions here, you can install DietPi (a pared down version of Debian), and then use Docker on top of that to run almost any of the services mentioned in this thread on a single RPI host machine.

I run Adguard Home without any issue on an RPI Zero so installing only that on your 4b will leave some performance on the table.
