Please make an episode 2: How to scale with a raspberry pi :)

[theweirdsquid]

I personally use a Raspberry Pi 4 with this exact setup to run my development servers that don't need to scale, and that I don't want to pay for yet. The only difference is that I have a reverse proxy set up so that I can run many websites at once off of it, but the Raspberry Pi 4 is honestly such an underrated little computer. Great for risk-free development.

All fun and games until someone start dossing literally your home connection trying to bring down your stupid to-do list webapp hosted on a Raspberry Pi

Those videos are amazing! I am senior SW dev but sometimes I feel like a trainee when watching this. IT is an infinite topic where innovations pops out on daily routine. Thanks for your work

This video broke down about 4 hours of research into 8 minutes and I love it. Could you do one about converting old computers to Ubuntu Desktop/Server and using Apache2? Love this. Thank you!

Self-hosting is always the most based way to deploy your stuff. Also extra tip: dockerize it right away! (I mean do not install nginx directly on the machine but use docker-compose to launch and orchestrate the nodejs container and the nginx container)

This is the kind of creativity we need in the world right now.

Hosting out of your own local network is pretty nice for home automation, assuming you secure it properly. You can build and host a web interface that manages devices on your LAN. Super fun stuff. :)

This was hilarious, sad and educational, all at the same time.

One more thing to add is the local IP of the raspberry pi is not static by default, it can get reassigned to another device if your raspberry pi goes offline or the router is restarted. You can mitigate this by assigning a static IP to your raspberry pi on your router based on the raspberry pi's MAC address

You have to maintain the room temperature as well. I used to host jenkins, application on rasp for interview purpose but rasp was damaged 8 months later due to heat issues. Remember it will be on 24×7, so need to maintain the temperature.

Cant wait for the next upload 'Scaling up the Raspberry PI bong cloud'
it's gonna be a instant hit.

Very, very cool! Would be great if you could make a whole series about that. I'd even buy it, if it were a course!!

Good kick-off. As you mentioned on the beginning, I’d be weary of the security aspect. Opening ports and leaving nginx config on default with no hardenining on the OS is not the best idea in general.
A good part two would be adding HTTPS and a domain name to the mix (with google domains or whatever) and securing things a bit on the web server.
Docker/k8s are also a hot topic, if instead of installing nginx directly on the host you add two different pods, one for the webpage static assets, and one for a backend API that serves the count number you’d end up with a setup that’s closer to real-world scenarios.
Just my 2c, thanks for the fun content!
