neufuse Veteran Posted January 10, 2020 Veteran Share Posted January 10, 2020 I have my Raspberry Pi 3 Model B currently set up as a Pi-Hole server (and it works great). What other uses do you guys use your Pi's for network / server wise? forster 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forster Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Ive just googled a video on what a Pi-Hole is (personally I thought it was something that happened in airport restrooms) but my mind is sufficiently blown! That might be a nice little investment Mindovermaster 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shockz Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Raspberry Pi 4, runs PiVPN, UniFi controller. PiHole. Happy with it. More speedier than I thought it’d ever be. Slowly decommissioning my power thirsty ESX server in favor of the Pi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, it's pretty fantastically awesome. It's stupid simple to setup if you are technology bent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have my web server on my ESX host, but i'm planning on migrating it to the Pi sometime next month (it's not a complex site, basically just a simple page saying something exists here).

The Dark Knight Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I have a mini NAS on one using OpenMediaVault and an external HDD. This gives me easy access to frequently used files and also serves as the backup for all the VM's running on my XCP-NG host. A second Pi runs RetroPie. Third one is for messing around with new projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
