![]() ![]() To make it easier to digest, I sorted all of the projects by category (software, hardware, entertainment, etc.) and by difficulty.įor each project listed here, you’ll find links to my tutorials or related articles on the website, so you can learn more about this topic, and follow my step-by-step tutorial if I have one. If you are looking to quickly progress on Raspberry Pi, you can check out my e-book here. It’s a 30-day challenge, where you learn one new thing every day until you become a Raspberry Pi expert. The first third of the book teaches you the basics, but the following chapters include projects you can try on your own. The easiest projects to get started are the ones that don’t require any additional hardware. No electronic, no game controller, no TV, or even no monitor. I’ll start with them in this “software only” category. If you have a Raspberry Pi that you don’t use at all, or that runs all the time, but you don’t use that much, the first thing you can try is to make money with it. Yes, you can definitely install things on it that will use the computing power when you don’t need it. The best and easiest way I found to make money with a Raspberry Pi until now is to sell your bandwidth. It works with any Raspberry Pi model and doesn’t require any changes to your current setup. I love it, especially for my Raspberry Pi Zero which runs 24/7 anyway.Īnother idea is to mine cryptocurrency with it. – Mining the Monero cryptocurrency on Raspberry Pi – 3 ways to make money with a Raspberry Pi It won’t earn you much as you are competing with guys using powerful computers with high-end GPUs, but it’s better than nothing.Ĭheck the links below for more details. If you want to keep your data safe, and not hosted by someone else, NextCloud is a great app to try. It’s a bit like Google Drive, Dropbox, or apps like that, but you keep control of your files. The files will be stored on your Raspberry Pi, and accessible from anywhere (any computer or smartphone can use them). I don’t use my Raspberry Pi for this, I have my files hosted on a traditional server. I can access my files from anywhere, do a backup to this “cloud” service and share photos from my phone to my computer instantly. NextCloud not only hosts your files but includes many other interesting features to sync your contacts, calendars, notes, tasks, etc.Ĭheck the tutorial below to try it on your Raspberry Pi. This is not necessarily a project in itself, but it’s the first brick you can install on your Raspberry Pi for many of them: a database server.Ī web server will probably need one, but any script you write can benefit from it as well. ![]() So, it’s always useful to have a database server at hand on your home network. MariaDB is one of the most common services used on Raspberry Pi, it has now replaced MySQL on most distributions. – Which database system is best for Raspberry Pi? – Install MariaDB (MySQL server) on Raspberry Pi It’s my go-to database server as it’s the one I know the best, but other options are available if you prefer something else. ![]() The Raspberry Pi is the perfect device for hacking and pen testing. You can install Kali Linux on it, it has Wi-Fi, and it’s discreet enough to be plugged everywhere. When I was a system administrator a few years ago, we paid a guy to do a security audit of our network. The guy manages to access the building and plugs a Raspberry Pi inside. He then did all the tests from it by accessing it remotely via a 4G adapter (remember Mr. Robot? it’s the same idea…).Īnyway, if you are interested in this, I have a few links for you. Host virtual machines on your Raspberry Pi 4 – Install & use Wireshark on Raspberry Pi – How to hack a Wi-Fi network with a Raspberry Pi You can start by installing Kali Linux which includes all the apps and tools, and experiment from there with more in-depth tutorials. New Raspberry Pi models come every year with increased CPU power and RAM, and virtualization is now a recurring topic on this website. This is pretty new and still limited, with solutions that I still consider in “beta”, but it’s now possible to host virtual machines on a small Raspberry Pi. If you are interested in this topic, using a Raspberry Pi is a great way to experiment, and learn how to use these solutions. You can then move to a bigger server and continue to use them, as it’s the same app that is used in big companies. ![]()
