- alexellisuk 5y agoDon't blame me. The idea came from Martin Woodward (from GitHub) and I was surprised how I had it up and running, executing builds in a few minutes. What kinds of things would you run with yours? Maybe you could use a GitHub action to trigger IoT lights on and off.
- one_off_comment 5y agoI use Github Actions mostly for automatically publishing my website when I change its content. But I haven't fully set up my build pipeline to my liking. And getting logs and stuff when the pipeline goes sideways isn't very easy right now with Github Actions. If I hosted my own running, at least I could poke around my build environment to see why it failed until I have it running reliably enough to let the cloud handle it. That's a long-winded way to say: debugging.
- PragmaticPulp 5y agoPersonally, I'd prefer to get a standard Raspberry Pi 4 model for any server-like duties. Get the 8GB RAM model and it's easy to run a lot of virtual machines on it for all of your different mini-server needs on a single device. Managing a lot of different little Pis for different server-like things is fun for experimenting with clustering and multi-server management tools, but it gets old fast if you really just want several different VMs or containers. VMWare ESXi is even available for the Raspberry Pi now: https://www.servethehome.com/getting-started-with-vmware-esxi-on-arm-with-a-raspberry-pi/ https://www.servethehome.com/getting-started-with-vmware-esx...
