I have 3 running right now 1x Raspberry Pi model B (from 2012!) - runs a reverse proxy to things in my local network, and runs a dynamic DNS service. It's showing its age as its ARMv6 and I guess at some point updates won't be as frequent so will eventually have to retire it, but it works fine for now. 1x Pi model 3 - runs various services, inc. GOGS a private git server, ZNC, a service to control my TV, a service to control my 'smart plug' lamp through a private API, a private docker registry, a voicemail system connected to Twilio 1x Pi model 3 - running Pi-Hole and wireguard I love all of them very dearly and looking forward to reading this thread!

Do you have any more information or a write up on what you're doing with Twilio and voicemail? That sounds sort of interesting.

  No write up unfortunately, I actually made it a few years ago as I was getting a lot of recruiter spam calls, but ever since the GDPR came in that has stopped. I don't receive that many calls these days. I have my (cell) phones voicemail set to my Twilio number. When a voicemail request hits Twilio, it calls an endpoint hosted on my Pi, which then just calls the Twilio APIs to 1. tell the caller to leave a message after the beep 2. record the message 3. use the speech-to-text API to transcribe the message 4. send me an SMS message with the transcription It's really just an ersatz visual/text voicemail service that I think iPhone users get. Also the Twilio speech-to-text transcriptions are hilariously bad, I don't think it copes well with UK accents :)

  You can actually do voicemail within Twilio for free using their TwiML Bins and Functions, you don’t need any extra hardware to maintain. Just did this for a couple of numbers I set up with SIP. The docs were... confusing and inaccurate but I finally got it to work.
