Raspberry Pi 4B (lemmy.zip)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by rook@lemmy.zip to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
 

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 ๐Ÿ‘Ž

Check out the Futro S740. It is more powerful than the pi, uses comparable power and still quite compact.

They can be found (in Germany at least) for 40โ‚ฌ with 4gb RAM and about 50โ‚ฌ for 8gb of ram. Ram is upgradeble, so is storage.

If you want something (much) more powerful, there is the Lenovo tiny line, for example the m710q or m720q (one cpu generation newer).
