You might be familiar with PCI Express (PCIe) technology on your PC motherboard: they’re the slots you use to add peripherals like a graphics card. But did you know that the Raspberry Pi now also has a PCIe slot? If you’re wondering what you can use it for, then you’re in the right place! The…
Do you ever install a server, like SSH or FTP, and have no idea what’s going on with it while it runs in the background? Luckily, the modern Linux system has a single utility dedicated to this task. In this post, I’ll explain the systemctl command and the most common ways to use it. The…
So you just bought a blazing-fast NVMe SSD to upgrade your Raspberry Pi. But what if you already have your system running well and don’t want to start over from scratch? In that case, you can migrate your existing system from the SD card to the NVMe SSD. I’ll show you how. On the Raspberry…
I’m excited that aerial drones have become accessible to the average hobbyist like me. Although I could purchase one off-the-shelf, the DIYer in me is interested in programming unique use cases or upgrading something I’ve built over time. So my first question was: Can I put a Raspberry Pi into a drone? It is possible…
What would you create if you were asked to design a case for the Raspberry Pi with no restrictions or compromises? If I had to name that case, it might be the Pironman 5-MAX. I recently had the chance to review this unique case and want to show you everything about it. The Pironman 5-MAX is…
On RaspberryTips, we normally cover gadgets you can DIY with a Raspberry Pi, projects that teach you how to code or that save you money. But maybe the “Dr. Frankenstein” in you doesn’t believe that inventions must be useful to have merit. If so, this post is for you. The Raspberry Pi is the most…
While hunting for the leanest Docker containers for my Raspberry Pi, I noticed many images use Alpine Linux as a base. So I started to wonder: what is Alpine Linux? And can it run natively on Raspberry Pi? The answer is a resounding yes, and I’ll show you how. Alpine Linux is installed on Raspberry…
It seems like everywhere I go in the server world these days, I’ll hear someone mention Kubernetes. But what is Kubernetes used for exactly, and can it be installed on a Raspberry Pi? This post will give you an easy primer that cuts through the technobabble. Kubernetes is the ultimate container manager, sitting above containers…
Just four months after releasing the Raspberry Pi AI Kit, the Raspberry Pi Foundation surprised us with a follow-up Raspberry Pi AI Camera launch. Is the AI Camera just a weaker version of the Kit, and what does it mean for a camera to have AI exactly? I found out all about it and will…
Home security is one of those tasks that’s easy to put off because it gets costly fast. But what if I told you there are inexpensive security solutions you can DIY and have fun while doing it? It’s possible with a Raspberry Pi, and I’ll share some projects you can try today. A Raspberry Pi…
