For those of you who use Raspberry Pi’s in your home environment, I’m curious as to what you use them for. What applications are you running on them? Do you have your Pi’s setup in a cluster?

RPI4/400 is perfectly capable as a little home server. All it needs is a good SD card.

Hmmm, I’m just using OMV on mine to make it a server that I can use to transfer files around my house.

Do you have any tips on where I could get started doing more? I haven’t had success with Docker or Portainer and I’d love to have some software hosting files like OMV, and a torrent client running through a VPN in another container.

OMV is quite limiting and maybe a little heavy for the pi(?)

Docker is straightforward Idk what to say You install docker and docker compose on host and run some compose.yml's to spin up your services

I’m an extreme a Linux nub… would you happen to have any further reading or videos you would recommend? Without OMV, how would I share my HDD on my network?

Magnificent, I’ll look into this!

If I re-set up everything outside of OMV, will I need to reformat the HDD that’s being shared?
