Your raspberry pi use?

I'm thinking of ordering one to do some odd tasks, I feel it should be utilized more so what is your use with your raspberry pi?

Give me ideas!

  • The only thing that I use mine for is a SubSonic server that I run from home. I wish that I could do something cooler with it, but I haven't been able to do that yet.

  • I use it as local webserver.
    And let it work as fileserver becuase i dont have other ideas.

  • I use it as a Pi-Hole ad blocking DNS server, and a small speaker system that I pipe songs to from my phone or computer.

    I like this idea. I might set this up when I get home.

    We have it behind a screen to display Grafana :D

  • I've got one that is acting as a gateway for tor, the other powers a work tasking system, with items such as analystics, touch-screen dashboard for easily adding reminders, placing phone calls, sms, etc. all built upon NodeJS

    Web server, cloud server, OSMC.

  • I have one with GoldenOrb OpenWRT router. I use it with 3G/4G modem + Wifi at my cottage.

    Home Assistant is awesome. Also a nice quiet deskside server for people who don't want virtualbox slowing down their gaming system.

    Depends where you live. Shoot me a PM and I'm sure some love can go somewhere

  • I have Openelec on one, works a charm.

  • Currently I'm using my raspi as a Minera Controller for the Gridseed miner.

    It also work as a Tor hidden service, and a small Nodejs website

  • Hosting my personal blog and use reverse SSH tunnel to make it available in the public.

  • Use mine as a bgp session to dn42 for dn42 connectivity at home, and for local vpns to my various boxes around the world.

  • Home Backup server connected HDDs and mount, have great backup server running 24/7

    Build a cluster and then sent it to a data center that don't mind. haha. On a serious note, i would use it to build a cheaper PC for my family member to use, e.g wireless mouse and keyboard to hook up the raspi to their 60 inch TV.

    I just grabbed a RP to setup Pi-Hole at home. It's a pretty neat idea.

  • pi-hole.net

  • RasPlex. Works great, cheap little device to stream media from my Plex server.

    Seedbox sync. More energy efficient than leaving my computer on 24/7 for Linux ISOs.

    I use it as a VNC client at my workplace.

  • I have a few that I use for backups and a usenet indexer :-)

  • We have one in the datacenter that runs an API and can connect to ipmi. This way, it's possible to reboot the servers remotely.

    I do this and servers without IPMI are hooked up to a home made solid state relay PDU for reboots. Not clean but it's not failed in 6 months

  • To be fair the use for my RPI2 (a wireless extender) is kind of a waste :p
