I own a raspberry pi 4. Every time I try to use it, I spend half my time trying to fix the stuttery/non responsive UI by fucking with the compistor and such. And then I give up.

I eventually got a new gaming PC and turned my old one into a Linux server, and haven’t really touched my Raspberry Pi since.

I have 2 Pi 4s in operation. One is a Moonlight/USBoverIP stream gaming portal. It automatically turns on and connects to a VM running Sunshine on my Proxmox host, passes any USB controllers/bluetooth etc to the VM so the big loud gaming box is in the basement and the tiny Pi is next to the TV. 1080p60 works great, minimal lag.

The other acts mostly as a quorum server for the proxmox servers, I have two proxmox hosts and use the second Pi to ensure the cluster doesn’t get split brain. It also acts as a USBoverIP host for my home automation Zigbee and Zwave usb sticks, so that either proxmox host can connect to the USB sticks and the home automation VMs aren’t locked to a physical host.

I feel old, I don’t understand 90% of words in this thread lol.

I just have kodi on Libreelec with a jellyfin plugin on my rpi4 and even that struggled with overheating at times. So I run most stuff on my pc instead. I’m tempted to try the portainer to get some experience with docker tho.

I have one 3B running adguard and a wireguard vpn server. Another 4B doing the same, plus kitchenowl and home assistant.

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

I bought a pi0 when I first started hosting things. It ran a pihole and piVPN instance for about 3-4 years before it died.

I would love to have another one, they are great pieces of hardware… but are just scalped to hell. I’ll keep buying old desktops and laptops with higher specs for cheaper until the costs go down.

Only use it as a backup pihole now. Used to have an *arr stack on it, but needed a beefier pc

Yeah but they’re really only good for single purpose things I keep killing sd cards trying to do more.

Just one RPI 4 with Soulseek and NFS shares.

Cluster of Pi4 8GBs. Bought pre-pandemic; love the little things.

Nomad, Consul, Gluster, w/ TrueNas-backed NFS for the big files.

They do all sorts of nifty things for us including Nightscout, LanguageTool OSS, monitoring for ubiquiti, Nextdrive, Grafana (which I use for home monitoring - temps/humidity with alerts), Prometheus & Mimir, Postgres, Codeserver.

Basically I use them to schedule dockerized services I want to run or am interested in playing with/learning.

Also I use Rapsberry Pi zero 2 w’s with Shairport-sync (https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync ) as Airplay 2 streaming bridges for audio equipment that isn’t networked or doesn’t support AirPlay 2.

I’m not sure I’d buy a Pi4 today; but they’ve been great so far.

I use mine as a minimalistic NAS and media server

Lets see…

• nord vpn client
• qbittorrent (through nord vpn)
• proxy server (through nord vpn)
• wireguard vpn server
• ssh client so I can port forward through the vpn server to/from connected clients
• jellyfin
• ntfy (self hosted notifications)
• pi-hole (vital for the local dns)
• nginx
• gitea
• wallabag
• minecraft server
• container registery
• smb share for my friend (I help them with content creation)
• smb share for a live recording profile I set up on android

Those are just docker containers, it also is a backup server for all the devices I own. It also runs all non sensitive data on an unencrypted partition then will auto decrypt the sensitive partion through ssh via my desktop. This means my vpn server will always run so I can connect, wake on lan my desktop, decrypt it and log in. Im sure I’m missing things.

I use a RPi3 for pihole and a RPi4 with debian + docker to host a bunch of stuff (in no spécific order): goaccess-for-nginxproxymanager

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.
