My plans for the week:

[elena@aseachange.com]

My plans for the week:

▪️​ install #DietPi on my old #RaspberryPi3 (https://dietpi.com)
▪️​ flash the #YunoHost pre-installed disk image to a new MicroSD card and attempt to set it up on on my #RaspberryPi5
▪️​ if I'm successful, I'll set up #Jellyfin on it
▪️​ create a little storage system for my microSD cards so I can swap them in and out (I won't wipe the one that has #Ubuntu on it, but set it aside so I can use it in the future)

I have a hunch I will ask 🎅​ for a new Raspi this coming Christmas... maybe the #RaspberryPi500 😅​

@elena The latest DietPi is awesome with the new dietpi-backup changes https://dietpi.com/docs/releases/v9_17/ Good luck!

@eclecticpassions thank you Naty, it's great to know this! I was a little sad my old (and slow) Raspi 3 has been sitting on a shelf doing nothing... I hope I can find some use for it with DietPi

[jan@social.dytrych.cloud]

@elena nice week plan Elena! As usual have my fingers crossed and if anything...you know ;-) we are here to help you out!

[elena@aseachange.com]

@jan aw thank you Jan - aka my Raspi guru 😅​

[informatom@fosstodon.org]

@elena @eclecticpassions I am running 2 Home Assistant instances on 2 Raspi 3s for years and I am more than happy.
May I ask, if you do backups regularly for all your services? (Raspis can also be low key NASes, just saying, not to suggest another project 😉)

[nitp@mas.to]

@elena I’ve used DietPi for Jellyfin for years first in a RPi 2B, migrated to an Odroid C2, then Azulle Access3 (last week I migrated my JF server to my Mac mini). Overall I can’t say anything bad about it. I tried Docker, but was overkill for my needs so I went with bare metal installs.

I still have DietPi running on the Pi purely for PiHole duties.

[elena@aseachange.com]

@NitP wonderful to know, thank you Nit!

Quick question: do you think a Pi3 could run PiHole?

[elena@aseachange.com]

@informatom @eclecticpassions thanks. I'm just getting started with Raspis, so I appreciate any feedback about backups...

On my Mac I use CarbonCopyCloner but not sure about Raspis...

[elena@aseachange.com]

Update: got YunoHost flashed on my microSD card but I just realized that I cannot connect my Raspi via Ethernet (the recommended way) because my router is up on a tall shelf in a closet. So I've ordered a WiFi extender with an Ethernet port.

I hope this will work...

So my Raspi5 with #YunoHost experimentations will have to wait till Thursday morning 😭​

@elena It runs fine on my Pi 2B (so older/slower than yours).

It can get limited if you load a lot of blocklists. I use a handful from the excellent Hegazi - https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists.

Haven’t done extensive testing. But some ‘dig’ commands showed query responses to be under 10ms. Which is healthy enough for me.

I think you’d be fine unless you had demanding requirements.

@NitP thank you so much Nit !!!!!!!!!!

[oblomov@sociale.network]

@elena

- I can't reach my RasPi
- It didn't get an IP assigned on the network
- No I mean I cannot reach it *physically*.

Strong bash.org feelings from this one:

@oblomov sooo funny 😆

Re: my Pi with YunoHost, I’m gonna try add it to my Tailscale setup… if I can figure out how 😅

[mbuzzoni@social.sciences.re]

Great plan, @elena !

RPis are awesome, but if your plan is to run a little #YunoHost homelab long term, you could also consider repurposing an old small-factor desktop like those sold by #AteliersduBocage (👉 https://boutique.ateliers-du-bocage.fr/83-enfin-libre-).

In my experience, those might be a little more powerful and stable than a #rpi (granted, I stopped at RPi 4 with 2 Go of RAM, so maybe it is not the case anymore 😅).

[elena@aseachange.com]

@mbuzzoni thank you Marco. My YunoHost ecosystem (GotoSocial, Pixelfed, PeerTube, NextCloud, LinkStack) runs on a VPS and I've got zero complaints. It's just perfect as it is. I wanted to experiment with my Pi5 and try to set up a Jellyfin server for my music. Otherwise my VPS is more than great

[mbuzzoni@social.sciences.re]

@elena great! BTW, I use @moodeaudio for streaming music on a rpi3, and I find it amazing!

[elena@aseachange.com]

@mbuzzoni @moodeaudio thank you for the recommendation!
