If, like me, your Internet connection doesn’t have a static public IP address, or if you want an easy-to-remember domain for accessing (or sharing) your services, this article is for you. Using No-IP and a Raspberry Pi, we can associate a hostname with our current IP address (and keep it updated when it changes). Today,…
I know, I know. When you see the current Raspberry Pi prices and compare them to the much cheaper boards on AliExpress, it’s hard to resist. Some of them even have better specs on paper. So why pay more for a Raspberry Pi when all those “fruit Pi” boards seem to do the same thing?…
After years of testing and writing tutorials on RaspberryTips, I can tell you one thing: you can make your Raspberry Pi do almost anything. However, just because it works doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. Let’s talk about it. A Raspberry Pi can run many home projects, but some are poor choices for long-term use….
After spending years configuring Linux servers by hand, I was curious to see what YunoHost could do. It turns a Raspberry Pi into a self-hosting server in just a few minutes, making it easy to deploy applications like WordPress, Nextcloud, or Jellyfin. YunoHost is a Linux distribution designed for self-hosting. Once installed on a Raspberry…
After using pfSense for years at work, I wanted to build a similar firewall at home with a Raspberry Pi. It seemed like the perfect combination: powerful software on inexpensive hardware. After digging into it, I quickly discovered there was one major obstacle. pfSense doesn’t have an official release for Raspberry Pi, it’s only available…
If you’re using a Raspberry Pi to run multiple Docker containers, managing them can quickly get complicated. That’s where Portainer comes in! It allows you to organize and control your containers from a graphical web interface, simplifying the process. Portainer can be installed on a Raspberry Pi as a simple Docker container. Once started, the…
I’m one of those people who have enthusiastically jumped into self-hosting to take back control of their data. But if you’re used to getting free stuff from Google, it’s not so easy to switch away. That’s why I want to share with you how you can use a Raspberry Pi to set yourself free. Many…
After writing 600+ Raspberry tutorials on RaspberryTips, it’s easy to think a Raspberry Pi can do pretty much everything. And basically, it does. But does that mean it’s a good idea to use a Raspberry Pi for anything? Probably not. The Raspberry Pi is an excellent tool to experiment with Linux servers or electronics and…
I have been running several self-hosted applications on my Raspberry Pi for some time now. From my experience, it’s one of the best ways to take back control of your data while ditching costly cloud subscriptions. In this article, I will share the best self-hosted apps you can run on a Raspberry Pi, based on…
If you’ve just upgraded to Raspberry Pi OS Trixie, some settings may not be where you expect them to be. Tools like Appearance Settings, Screen Configuration, Mouse and Keyboard settings, and other small utilities have been grouped into a new app called Control Centre. I think it’s a good idea, but the first time you…
