How I Run My Entire Digital Life on a Raspberry Pi: The Ultimate Self-Hosting Series
Welcome to my in-depth series, where I unveil how I manage my entire digital life using just a Raspberry Pi! If you’ve ever wanted to take charge of your data, enhance your privacy, and break free from public cloud services, you’re in the perfect place. Throughout this series, I’ll guide you step-by-step in turning a modest Raspberry Pi into the central hub of your personal digital ecosystem. Plus, by running everything on a device that consumes less than 15W, you’ll not only gain control and privacy, but also make an environmentally conscious choice — dramatically reducing your digital footprint while enjoying a greener, more sustainable tech setup.
What Does It Mean to Run Your Life on a Raspberry Pi?
Simply put, I’ve moved all the essential services I rely on daily off the cloud and onto my own hardware-right at home. No more trusting big tech with my sensitive data. No more worrying about third-party outages or privacy breaches. Everything runs securely on-premises, and only I have access to my information. If something does go wrong, it’s within my control to fix-no more waiting on someone else’s support ticket.
