All The Best Raspberry Pi Project Ideas (with links)

The Raspberry Pi is an incredible device, and almost every day you see news about new projects you can do with it. I’ve tested a lot of these projects and written tutorials for each one I tested on this website. It was time to build the ultimate table of contents for this website, and list all of my favorite projects here.

If you are looking for some inspiration to try something new, or need guidance for something specific, you’ll probably find it in this list. To make it easier to digest, I sorted all of the projects by category (software, hardware, entertainment, etc.) and by difficulty.

For each project listed here, you’ll find links to my tutorials or related articles on the website, so you can learn more about this topic, and follow my step-by-step tutorial if I have one.

If you’re looking to quickly progress on Raspberry Pi, you can check out my e-book here. It’s a 30-day challenge where you learn one new thing every day until you become a Raspberry Pi expert. The first third of the book teaches you the basics, but the following chapters include projects you can try on your own.

Software

The easiest projects to get started are the ones that don’t require any additional hardware. No electronic, no game controller, no TV, or even no monitor. I’ll start with them in this “software only” category.

Make your Raspberry Pi work for you

If you have a Raspberry Pi that you don’t use at all, or that runs all the time, but you don’t use that much, the first thing you can try is to make money with it. Yes, you can definitely install things on it that will use the computing power when you don’t need it.

The best and easiest way I found to make money with a Raspberry Pi until now is to sell your bandwidth. It works with any Raspberry Pi model and doesn’t require any changes to your current setup. I love it, especially for my Raspberry Pi Zero which runs 24/7 anyway.

Another idea is to mine cryptocurrency with it. It won’t earn you much as you are competing with guys using powerful computers with high-end GPUs, but it’s better than nothing.

Sync your files with all your devices

If you want to keep your data safe, and not hosted by someone else, NextCloud is a great app to try.
It’s a bit like Google Drive, Dropbox, or apps like that, but you keep control of your files. The files will be stored on your Raspberry Pi, and accessible from anywhere (any computer or smartphone can use them).

I don’t use my Raspberry Pi for this, I have my files hosted on a traditional server. However, it’s the same idea. I can access my files from anywhere, do a backup to this “cloud” service and share photos from my phone to my computer instantly.

NextCloud not only hosts your files but includes many other interesting features to sync your contacts, calendars, notes, tasks, etc.
Check the tutorial below to try it on your Raspberry Pi.

Host a database server

This is not necessarily a project in itself, but it’s the first brick you can install on your Raspberry Pi for many of them: a database server.

A web server will probably need one, but any script you write can benefit from it as well. So, it’s always useful to have a database server at hand on your home network.

MariaDB is one of the most common services used on Raspberry Pi, it has now replaced MySQL on most distributions. It’s my go-to database server as it’s the one I know the best, but other options are available if you prefer something else. Check the links below to learn more.

Experiment with ethical hacking

The Raspberry Pi is the perfect device for hacking and pen testing. You can install Kali Linux on it, it has Wi-Fi, and it’s discreet enough to be plugged everywhere.

I have a fun story about this. When I was a system administrator a few years ago, we paid a guy to do a security audit of our network. The guy manages to access the building and plugs a Raspberry Pi inside. He then did all the tests from it by accessing it remotely via a 4G adapter (remember Mr. Robot? it’s the same idea…).

Host virtual machines on your Raspberry Pi 4

New Raspberry Pi models come every year with increased CPU power and RAM, and virtualization is now a recurring topic on this website. This is pretty new and still limited, with solutions that I still consider in “beta”, but it’s now possible to host virtual machines on a small Raspberry Pi.

If you are interested in this topic, using a Raspberry Pi is a great way to experiment, and learn how to use these solutions. You can then move to a bigger server and continue to use them, as it’s the same app that is used in big companies.

These projects take time, and won’t necessarily work all the time, so if you are still a beginner on Raspberry Pi, I wouldn’t recommend starting with it.

Entertainment

Another popular usage for the Raspberry Pi devices is to play games or use them to watch movies. Here are a few things you can try to have fun with it.

Video capture and streaming

It’s probably not the most popular project in this category, but OBS Studio is now available on Raspberry Pi, so you can use it to record your screen or stream anything. Even if we are still far from a professional computer, the Raspberry Pi 4 can handle this pretty well.

OBS Studio is a free and powerful tool to do this.
You can manage multiple sources (like a Camera module or a USB device) and include several of them in a recording. Check the link below to learn more, as the installation is not straightforward, but it works!

Basically, you’ll install a specific operating system (or just the app, depending on the solution), including various emulators and a nice interface to play old games on your Raspberry Pi.
Are you a Nintendo 64 fan like me? You can definitely install RetroPie on your device, plug in a game controller and play Mario, GoldenEye, or any one of your favorite games.

For your first try, I would recommend following the tutorial linked below and installing it on a new SD card. But it’s also possible to install RetroPie on top of Raspberry Pi OS, for example.
And I also recommend checking the other options, as RetroPie is no longer the best choice (especially for beginners).

Where to download your games

You can even play recent (Steam) games on it

Ok, that’s fine, but classic games are now dated, and you might not enjoy them as much as you did in the old days. But what if you could also play recent games on your Raspberry Pi? Like the ones available on Steam?

Obviously, there is a catch. The Raspberry Pi can’t run FIFA, Cyberpunk, or any major games natively, you need something more powerful.

A Raspberry Pi as a Spotify remote control

If you like to listen to music at home, you can use your Raspberry Pi as your personal stereo.

There are 3 ways to use Spotify on a Raspberry Pi: Volumio, Kodi, or MusicBox. All of them are available as a system image that can be downloaded and flashed on a mini-SD card. Then Spotify will be available as an additional plugin.

A premium account is required to use Spotify without the official app, but if you have one, you can check the link below to try one of these solutions.

Turn your Pi into a smart TV

This is also a popular project. The Raspberry Pi is a small, low-energy, and silent device. It’s ideal to plug it into the back of your TV and add smart features to it even if you have an old TV.

Kodi is generally the app used to do this, it’s a media-center application that can be installed on Raspberry Pi OS, LibreElec, or OSMC. You can then watch local files on your TV, or install an additional plugin to access Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, and other services.

Host a game server on it (Minecraft example)

I have a lot of experience with Minecraft, both as a player and as a server owner (I ran a French server for almost 10 years). So, naturally, I wanted to test it on my Raspberry Pi. And to my surprise, it works pretty well (on a Raspberry Pi 4 at least).

If you don’t know, Minecraft is a sandbox game created by Mojang. This game has no defined goal. Each player will progress in the game, in a world composed of blocks, representing the real world in a cubic form.

Everybody can host a server, to play with friends or random players over the world. It’s a paid game, but hosting a server is free, and it can be done on a Raspberry Pi. So, if you want to give it a try, check my tutorial in the link below.

Network

If you have a Raspberry Pi running all the time on your home network, you can easily install additional services to improve your life. Ad-blocker is the most popular service, but there are way more things you can install on it.

Use a Raspberry Pi as a network-wide ad blocker

You probably already know about AdBlock, an extension you can install on your web browser to hide most ads on the Internet. But you have to install it on every device, and it doesn’t always work, especially with exotic systems or apps.

Pi-Hole installation guide on Raspberry Pi

It’s possible to install a network ad-blocker on your Raspberry Pi (it’s basically a custom DNS server). Configure it as your main DNS server, and all the devices connected to your network won’t show ads anymore.

I tested two solutions for you: Pi-Hole and AdGuard. You can try them easily, as both will work directly on Raspberry Pi OS. Check my tutorials below for more details.

Turn your old printer into a wireless printer

If you still have an old printer that only has a USB connector and no network adapter (RJ45 or Wi-Fi), you can easily plug it into your Raspberry Pi, configure it, and then share it with the network.

This way, you can have a Raspberry Pi close to the printer, anywhere in your house, and print from your computer, as if it was a wireless printer.

The tutorial linked below, explains how to install a new printer on a Raspberry Pi, but sharing it will give you access to it from any computer on the same network.

Use your Pi as a Torrent box

Another useful service you can add to a Raspberry Pi running all the time is an app to manage your downloads (Torrent files, typically).
In most cases, there is a service running on the Raspberry Pi, and a web interface to access it from any other device on the same network.

I know, with the rise of streaming providers, torrents aren’t as popular as they used to be, but it’s still handy to have an app with a nice web interface to quickly download torrents when you need to.

How can you build this? Well, I have tested several solutions and explained how to install them in the link below.

Build a home automation controller

Installing Home Assistant (or similar) on a Raspberry Pi is a popular project for any Raspberry Pi owner. It’s popular because once connected to all your smart devices, it makes the Raspberry Pi really useful in your home setup (which is not the case with all projects).

Home Assistant officially supports the Raspberry Pi 3 and 4, so it offers an image built for it. You can even choose between 32 or 64 bits. You need a new SD card, but the installation is straightforward. Just flash it, and it’s ready to use.

You can then connect to all your smart devices via an intuitive wizard.
Domoticz is less intuitive but might be interesting for more advanced users that want to do more with it.

Host a complete web server on it

Setting up a web server can be useful for various projects. Unfortunately, it isn’t really straightforward, especially if you need PHP and a MySQL database. I’m also a web developer and have built many web projects, so I’m used to it. But I understand it may be overwhelming for some of you.

A web server requires several bricks to host a dynamic website. In general, we call this a LAMP server (Linux + Apache + MySQL + PHP). So, you need to install all of this to make the different parts work together. And it’s only the beginning, as you’ll then need to create the website, or use a content app (like WordPress).

Anyway, I have several tutorials on this website to help you to get started with it. Check the links below to get the step-by-step instructions.

Or create a file server to share files at home

Another popular project is to use the Raspberry Pi to share files on your network. Need to open a file on another computer? Share photos with your family? Host movies to watch on your TV?
Create a file server with a few shares on your Raspberry Pi, and everyone can access it and share various files.

There are different solutions to do this. I already discussed NextCloud in this article, but it’s not really the same thing. OpenMediaVault is a solution that you can use to get a web interface to manage everything, or you can do it manually by installing Samba on any Linux distribution.

The first link below explains how to do this manually (command lines required), and the second link is for the web interface (easier for beginners).

Using Raspberry Pi as a VPN server

VPN stands for “Virtual Private Network”, and basically the idea is to merge two networks.
For example, companies can use this to have employees in two different sites but using the same resources from the main building (like a file share, for example).

OpenVPN and WireGuard are two open-source solutions to create a virtual private network (VPN).
Created in 2021, OpenVPN is the standard and runs most VPNs in the world.
WireGuard is a recent solution (2016) that promotes better performances that should not be overlooked when creating a new VPN.

Even if the theory is maybe a bit complicated to understand for beginners, the installation process is pretty straightforward. So feel free to check the links below to learn more about this.

Speed up your Internet connection (DNS server)

DNS stands for Domain Name System. It’s a main service on the Internet. Its role is to translate domain names into IP addresses.
On a network, devices only speak with IP addresses, and they need a DNS server to help convert the hostname to IP.

Currently, your Internet router is probably your DNS server, and it forwards all the requests to your provider server. You can easily use your Raspberry Pi as your main DNS server and speed up your Internet connection with a few tweaks in the configuration.

Host your private password manager

Passwords have always been a hot topic in tech. From using weak passwords to adding complexity and then using password managers to remember them as we try to use a different password on each website. But a major concern with these tools is privacy and security. What happens if they get hacked?

Bitwarden has a solution for you, you can self-host the server for your password manager. It’s not necessarily a good idea regarding security risks, but at least you own your data. You can install Bitwarden on a Raspberry Pi at home, and then use the browser’s extensions to connect to it.

It’s not necessarily easy, as you need to host a web server with HTTPS encryption enabled and make sure everything is safe and backed up. But it’s something interesting to try, to better understand how these tools work.

Or build your private phone server

I worked as sysadmin in a company with a big call center. We were using Asterisk to manage calls for different countries and languages. Everything was set up to redirect each call to the best agent (available and speaking the correct language!). So, it was natural for me to try to install Asterisk on my Raspberry Pi at home.

Obviously, the goal for a private phone server at home won’t be the same, but it can be fun to add a few rules. Let’s say you don’t want the phone to ring when your baby is sleeping, or maybe redirect the calls when you are not at home. Everything is possible.

Just follow the tutorial linked below for the initial installation, and then do whatever you want from there.

Monitor your network

We have seen different ways to add active services on your Raspberry Pi, to enhance your home experience. But you can also use it to monitor other services and smart devices you have at home.
Is your NAS almost full? How old is your last backup? Is your Minecraft server running?

Anything like that can be tested with a tool named Nagios. It’s a monitoring solution, often used in large companies, to make sure everything is running as expected. It can send notifications when something is going wrong.

It works on Raspberry Pi, and I have a tutorial below on how to install it. You can also check my article about Grafana to create graphs for anything (related to network monitoring or anything else).

Host your own email server on Raspberry Pi

It’s probably one of the most complicated tutorials I have on this website: hosting a mail server at home.
It’s not necessarily a good idea to use it for important addresses, but it’s very interesting to understand how everything works together. And you can follow the same steps to host your email server on something more robust after that.

You can follow the first steps if you just want to send an email from your Raspberry Pi. But I also explain everything to receive emails and host webmail on it.

It works really well, even on an old Raspberry Pi model (I did this on a 3B+ I think), but unless you have a redundant solution for your Internet connection and server, it’s probably not the best idea to move to this for your main email address.

Use your Raspberry Pi as a firewall

The Raspberry Pi has only one Ethernet port, so it’s not necessarily the best fit for a firewall. But if most of your devices are connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi, you can still use it to filter your Internet access.

My goal with this project was to create a new wireless access point with a firewall and other cool software to monitor the network and filter some kind of traffic.

I did it, and you can check the link below to follow the same steps.

Programming

The main goal of the Raspberry Pi is to help young students to learn how to code. So obviously, I have a few programming projects for you on this list.

Discover the Python programming language

The Raspberry Pi system includes an IDE to code in Python, the basic libraries are pre-installed, and the GPIO pins are perfect to experiment with. There are a few steps to follow to understand Python code, but it’s not so complicated.

I have several articles on this website to teach you how to get started, you can find the links below. Python is close to the English language, so it’s not that hard, but you still need to understand the logic before building anything. If you have some experience with other languages, it should be pretty quick to learn.

And if you need more, I have an entire e-book that you can read to learn Python, from beginner to expert, with only the important concepts. Check the details on this page, you can currently get 10% off by using this link.

Control your smart lights at home

One of the projects you can try once you know the basics of Python, is to interact with your smart lights at home. I have Philips Hue lights, and there is an API that you can program in Python (or any other language).

My Raspberry Pi Zero connects to it to turn them on or off depending on the time of the day, the weather, and the sunset/sunrise times. I explain everything in my book, but I also have a tutorial on this website about this, check the first link to try it on your own.

Learn C++ on Raspberry Pi

When thinking about programming on Raspberry Pi, Python and Scratch are the most common choices. I write a lot about Python on this website because it’s the most natural for beginners, but it isn’t the only option, and not necessarily the best in every situation. 

Raspberry Pi OS also includes all the packages needed to code in C/C++ directly after the installation. Common libraries are pre-installed to interact with the specific Raspberry Pi components (GPIO, Camera, etc.), and the default text editor (Geany) has built-in support for this language.

If you want to give it a try, check my tutorial about C++.

Experiment with the GPIO pins

And obviously, one of the most popular features of a Raspberry Pi are the GPIO pins.

GPIO pins allow adding extensions to your Raspberry Pi, whether with HATs or to create circuits. The easiest way to use them is to create Python scripts, but Scratch or other software are good options to consider.

Turn your Raspberry Pi into a tablet

Thanks to an active developer named Konsta, it’s now pretty easy to install Android on a Raspberry Pi 3 or 4. Android is great for many reasons, but especially to play games or watch videos/movies. But it’s even better with a touch-screen.

You can combine the powerful Android operating system with one of the best touchscreens for Raspberry Pi to build the ultimate tablet. I have tested many monitors in the past, and the RasPad 3 is really good, especially for Android users.

Install HATs for extra features

We often use the term HAT to define a Raspberry Pi extension.
It’s not only for the first meaning, but it stands for “Hardware Attached on Top”.

In short, it’s an additional card, that you plug into your Raspberry Pi to bring new features.
Generally, it uses GPIO ports to connect the two cards together. And it’s pretty easy to use, as Raspberry Pi OS will recognize it automatically.

There are many options available (check my favorites in the link below), but the Sense HAT is one of the most popular, including various sensors (gyroscope, accelerometer, thermometer, etc.). I have a complete guide on how to use it (in two parts).

Create a Raspberry Pi cluster

The goal of a Raspberry Pi cluster is to combine the performances of several devices into a stack.
Building a cluster is a fun project, and it can also be useful for applications that require many CPU cores, but not so much execution speed.

On Raspberry Pi, a cluster can be created by installing the same operating system, apps, and libraries to all nodes. To run commands on all nodes, MPICH is the only app required. There is also a Python library to improve the possibilities: MPI4PY.

That’s another project that is pretty hard, so only try it if you already have solid knowledge of Raspberry Pi.
