- This website was started in 2014 and has since been running 24x7 on Raspberry Pi hardware (tuned for high performance)
Something about the fun stuff (offline = not dependent on your internet connection, so this also works offline!!):
- Set up Nagios monitoring (offline)
- Using OpenVPN and AdGuardHome to access secure and filtered internet via remote devices (iPhone/MacBook/Mobile/Laptop)
- Creating an app for opening the garage door (switched via wired connection from Raspberry Pi)
- Turn on/off indoor/outdoor lights via a transmitter (433MHz) controlled by sunset schedule and app
- Using Google Charts offline to create charts/graphs (offline)
- Set up a fully functional calendar like Google Calendar and store de items in MySQL/MariaDB (offline)
- Create Google charts of many things, such as: indoor/outdoor temperature, electricity and gas consumption, website users (offline)
- Store a lot of metrics & data in MySQL/MariaDB and in ElasticSearch
