I have a pi4 that is a small server for random things. Primarily it runs pihole and HomeAssistant, but also runs several other small servers. Vaultwarden for passwords. Atuin for shell history sync. Resilio sync for photo backup. Few other small things but that’s most of it. All of the services are accessible anywhere through tailscale, even if I’m not home. That’s most useful for HomeAssistant and Vaultwarden. All of the web sites hosted on it happen over HTTPS too.
Everything on it except for atuin is running as docker containers. I think either the drive or the usb connector I’m using is kinda flakey. So I try to keep everything as portable as possible. I can backup and move all of the containers elsewhere pretty easily if i have to.
Running a personal cloud like this is great. Tailscale makes the networking part a piece of cake. And a few containers through docker-compose isn’t super hard either.
I think I got lucky getting a pi 4 on release pretty cheap. But the arm64 support is great, and I think some of the containers I’m using only worked because of that. Not sure if the other pis support that or not
- illwrks 3y agoWhat OS are you using? I'm looking at doing similar with my pi4.
- snailmailman 3y agoSorry for the delayed reply. I’m just using Raspbian Bullseye. The 64 bit version. All the apps im running are in containers, so my setup runs on anything I can get docker running on.
