My Self Hosting Journey
(feddit.nu)
I love my little k3s box and having all my config in git
I have literally been on this exact journey. Mind you I'm on NixOS across two boxes so not quite a raspi... Perhaps my downsizing is not yet complete
Same, in fact you can also went down in RPi models. Basically the more you know, the less you need, e.g. going from Plex to Kodi to minidlna...
As a developer and not a sysadmin, I refuse to learn anything more than docker. It's good enough for me ๐ค
Edit: on a more serious note, proxmox with docker containers has been more than enough for me
Do you run Docker in a VM or on the host node? I'm running a lot of LXC at home on Proxmox but sometimes it'd be nice to run Docker stuff easily as well.
It's kind of redundant but I run Docker in minimal debian LXCs. I like the speed of LXCs but I still love the reproducibility of Docker so I combine them lol. I do run regular VMs with docker for systems that are doing more than one thing

a pie is neat. thats it. does it have enough ram for hosting & running all your containers? no.
Random mixed parts -> 4u unraid server with switch -> random fedora Optiplex that never fails unlike 4u server

Wait, you can host a website on a raspberry pi !? But is it really cheaper than shared hosting, for instance? And even then, quality-wise, it cannot be that good, can it?
You can host a website on a lot less, even. But it entirely depends on what you're hosting and the load. Basically anything can host a bunch of static pages, so if your site is just that, basically anything will do. You could probably even do a WordPress site with the right caching plugins and serve a reasonable amount of traffic. The first limit you'll hit realistically is your uplink, not your webserver CPU.
You can definitely run a low traffic website with a Pi. You can run Minecraft Servers and such on Pis. Especially on Pi4s.

Yes, you can optimize a lot. Especially with Linux. I did the same and even started to replace program that did too much, bloated, with my own programs. To speed up the development I did it with AI and Cursor.
Why not rasberry pi with kubernetes?

The HAT-ability of RPi makes them enough for me. You can add sata ports, PCIe, and more with a simple HAT.
