DietPi makes it dead simple to run most of these things as their "software suite" is pretty robust and simple to setup.

For "user facing" applications:

  • Homer Dashboard as the landing page when going to the .local address in a browser
  • Kiwix for the ZIMs
  • Hedgedoc for personal note taking/wiki
  • Lychee photos for a very lightweight photo album maker/viewer for keepsake photos.

For "admin side" stuff:

  • Portainer to manage the containers/stacks
  • Watchtower to auto-update the containers while they're still network connected
  • Transmission daemonized to download and seed the ZIMs or anything else non-pirate related
  • Use jojo2357's ZIM updater to auto-update ZIMs via cron job while they're still network connected
  • DietPi-Dashboard as an all-in-one dashboard to monitor and control the RPi from a web interface. (Yeah I know I can do everything SSH'ing in but I'm lazy.)
  • File Browser just in case I want other people to have access to files but since it's in maintenance mode and I'm unsure I want others to have access, might strip it out

I try to use containers from LinuxServer.io whenever possible. Mostly just cause it's what I do on my main server.

I'm still looking at adding/removing things as I get more time to sit down but I'm pretty happy with it's current state.

    Cause if ya wanna go overboard like I did, 1TB of NVME storage, can add with SD Card if necessary. 16GB RAM. Very little learning curve for my part as I use SBCs often. Plus almost every Docker container and program I want works on RPi without any hassle.

    There's also more robust guides and community for RPi.

    Just my thoughts.
