Articles about the Raspberry Pi 4, which will be used for running Home Assistant and likely for other purposes in the future.
Piwigo is an open source photo management software to manage, organize and share your photo easily on the web. Your images can be viewed and managed from a common web browser or from Piwigo mobile applications available for Android and Apple devices.
You can setup a Piwigo site on a Raspberry Pi 4 with Virtualmin, a web based virtual hosting platform.
Hosting multiple websites on a Raspberry Pi 4 with Virtualmin involves some initial configuration after which setting up websites, called virtual servers, is easy.
These virtual servers is the way for hosting multiple websites as the web server needs to forward used URL’s to the correct folder on the Raspberry Pi 4. Virtualmin is a so called virtual hosting platform and makes setting up web servers much easier then manually by using Unix commands.
When starting Webmin configuration on a Raspberry Pi 4 it is overwhelming how much settings are available as Webmin has a lot off functionality by default. Additionally this functionality can extended by standard and 3rd party modules with each their own configuration options.
This article describes some of the most used modules and their configuration which is recommended for an initial configuration.
Webmin is a Web Interface for System Administration and simplifies managing the Raspberry Pi OS by preventing you need to manually edit configuration files and run commands to create accounts, set up a web server, manage email forwarding etc. via it’s web based user interface. It will update automatically all required configuration files for you.
Setup and configuring a Geekworm NASPi v2.0 case housing a Raspberry Pi 4 to be attached to a DIN-rail involves the following:
is explained in detail. This makes the Raspberry ready to be used as for example a web server.
When accessing your Raspberry Pi 4 remotely via a VNC viewer or Teamviewer it is very likely the screen size shown has a very low resolution and hence is unusable. This can be corrected by modifying the Raspberry Pi configuration file.
Raspberry Pi boards are hard to get currently in 2022 and a lot of stores state that new supply will arrive in 2023, unless you are willing to pay an excessive price (2 to 4 times the price a year ago).
We managed to get 2 Raspberry PI 4’s with 8Gb RAM within a few days within The Netherlands. In this article the cause for the supply shortage is explained and how we managed to get two Raspberry Pi 4 (8Gb) units.
