Ben Bradley<p>I bought a <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/RaspberryPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RaspberryPi</span></a> 4 a while back for emulation but I didn't like it for that (slow to boot, audio and controller issues) so it has been sat without a purpose.</p><p>I spent some time this week turning it into a 200Gb mini server. It has:<br>🔹 Pi-hole (DNS level ad blocker)<br>🔹 Gitea (private git server for code backups)<br>🔹 Shared folders for network backups and transfers<br>🔹 No desktop UI (I setup everything remotely via the bash terminal)</p><p>I only started with <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/LinuxMint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxMint</span></a> as my OS a couple of months ago, so I learnt a lot doing this fun project, and made some mistakes along the way that would have been much worse if I'd made them on my PC.</p>
