Best things to host on a raspberry pi (sh.itjust.works)

Hey yall, I want to get into self-hosting. I want to start from hosting on a raspberry pi, and I am just wondering if yall have any recommendations (I've never hosted anything before, but have experience in linux and programming). Sorry if it's bit of a stupid question.

One suggestion might be to load a Debian build on it and use it for docker containers. With docker containers you can do so many different things. I have a PI 4 and it does all of the following:
PiHole - For blocking ads. (Everyone should have one of these)
OpenMediaVault - For NAS
Portainers - For loading docker containers
Radarr - Downloading Movies
Sonarr - Downloading TV Shows
Tautulli - Monitors my plex server
Overseer - Allows members of my plex share to request content.
NZBGET and Real-Debrid Torrent Downloader Clients - For downloading content from usenet or real-debrid.

I have one Pi4 running all of these as docker containers. Have fun!

Seconding - you can actually squeeze a surprising amount of use out of a Pi4 running Docker.

I have an 8gb one with ELK stack in docker compose, and it's struggling to say the least, even without traffic.

Any chance you can point to a good tutorial for setting up these apps on the RPi?

[–] umbrella_dev 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Let me start by saying I hope you enjoy this stuff. Some of these can be a bit much to setup. I personally love this stuff so for me although it can be challenging it's fun.

I started out by installing OMV 6 - Open Media Vault. https://www.addictedtotech.net/how-to-install-openmediavault-6-on-a-raspberry-pi-4/

That's your starting point. From there you can install "Portainer" from the OMV extras. Portainer is where you will put all your docker containers.

Here's another script you can use to install several of these if you want to do it without OMV or docker.
