For those of you who use Raspberry Pi’s in your home environment, I’m curious as to what you use them for. What applications are you running on them? Do you have your Pi’s setup in a cluster?

Cluster of Pi4 8GBs. Bought pre-pandemic; love the little things.

Nomad, Consul, Gluster, w/ TrueNas-backed NFS for the big files.

They do all sorts of nifty things for us including Nightscout, LanguageTool OSS, monitoring for ubiquiti, Nextdrive, Grafana (which I use for home monitoring - temps/humidity with alerts), Prometheus & Mimir, Postgres, Codeserver.

Basically I use them to schedule dockerized services I want to run or am interested in playing with/learning.

Also I use Rapsberry Pi zero 2 w’s with Shairport-sync (https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync ) as Airplay 2 streaming bridges for audio equipment that isn’t networked or doesn’t support AirPlay 2.

I’m not sure I’d buy a Pi4 today; but they’ve been great so far.
