As a complete beginner, what can I do with a raspberry pi 4b?
I'm basically completely new to networking and currently setting up a NAS. I have this raspberry pi 4b that I got but now can't think of a use case for it...
Any ideas of something that is very useful to host or have running on the pi4b?
Edit: I'm a complete beginner, and will use trunas on another server with jellyfin so my raspberry pi gets blown raspberries atm 👎
I'm running Home Assistant on mine at the moment. It's amazing. Really. Apart from being an great smart home solution I've found it a good solution to create dashboards for life.
I have set up our family calendar, train schedules that change routes depending on the time. Waste collection notifications. It warns me to get a raincoat and umbrella in the morning. I get news headlines for my interests...
Before that I've tried a lot. It was my first step into home labbing 2 years ago. It brought me back to my youth. Breaking the family computer and trying to fix it before anyone noticing it.
Most of the stuff I ran used Docker.
Within a year I grew out of my pi setup and bought a second hand mini Lenovo that now runs Proxmox. Minor investment, huge upgrade. Moved away from dockers also.
The pi is a fun gateway drug.
