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 πŸ‘Ž

There are machines (like the Futro s740) that can be powered by POE as well.

And what’s the cost on those compared to a Pi?

[–] B0rax@feddit.org 1 points 5 months ago

That depends on your area. These machines are not available new (at least not at a reasonable price) but they are readily available refurbished for around 35€ (4gb ram) to 50€ (8gb ram) per piece in Germany.
