    I am in the same situation, looking how to use my 1st pi. I am already using AdGuard, Nginx and home assistant on my pi4, so I am looking for something more niche but very cool 😀

      Is it easy to set up SSL on a PiHole? I wanted to get Adguard home setup (similar to Pihole) but the complexity of setting up secure connections and I’m like, “yeah, nobody in my family is going to be able to fix this if something happens when I’m not around”. 😂

        They even have a full tutorial on it here.

        However, if you’re going the self-signed certificate route, consider to make your own mini-CA with root-CA + intermediate CA added in your trust store on every device and all your services behind a reverse proxy. The only thing you need to worry about is the certificates’ validity !

      Might be worth a shot but unfortunately Octoprint recommends at least a Pi 3. I tried it myself on a 2B and had nonstop issues with print quality from stutters while the Pi was sending gcode to the printer. As soon as I swapped to a 4B the problems disappeared.

    Pi-Hole always tops my list as a cool project that has definite benefits and will still be in service after the new wears off. It’s been quite a while ago, but I built an Alexa with an RPI. That was kind of cool. Home Assistant on an RPI is pretty cool. In fact, there is a whole list of cool stuff to do with an RPI: https://pimylifeup.com/category/projects/ . There’s also an Awesome list for the RPI: https://github.com/thibmaek/awesome-raspberry-pi.

    Tons of typical self-hosted services, like vault warden, actual budget, etc.

    But for something that old, I’m thinking more along the lines of RC cars and other projects involving the GPIO. I’ll reserve my newer ones for self-hosting stuff, older stuff for things that don’t benefit much from extra processing power.

    Take a look at the Linuxserver Docker images. They curate a huge list of self hosted apps that is great to browse and look for ideas. You don’t need to run Docker and use their images - I’m just suggesting review their list of apps they support to get some ideas of what’s out there.

    That Pi is too old to handle any media tasks (like running a Jellyfin server), but for any low intensity duties it’s still perfectly usable.

      Ahh my people. Another list searcher. LOL

    I was poking around the Raspberry imager utility and they had RISC OS, which is and old operating system that was apparently fairly popular in the UK, but I’d never heard of it in the US. I loaded it up on my Pi 1 and had fun exploring it. Not exactly useful, but cool to mess with: RISC OS
