Hey yall, I want to get into self-hosting. I want to start from hosting on a raspberry pi, and I am just wondering if yall have any recommendations (I’ve never hosted anything before, but have experience in linux and programming). Sorry if it’s bit of a stupid question.

    This reminds me of the old “build a gaming pc for less than a console” thing was popular for a while.

    So let’s assume a $90 raspberry pi (someone really splurged here)

    • $90: case
    • $0: cpu, get used from a friend
    • $0: motherboard, get used from a friend
    • $0: ram, get used from a friend
    • $0: power supply, steal from work

    You can drop the case and just use a cardboard box, which would allow you to afford storage. I’m just going to assume you boot from a usb and keep everything in memory.
