My plans for the week:

▪️​ install #DietPi on my old #RaspberryPi3 (https://dietpi.com)
▪️​ flash the #YunoHost pre-installed disk image to a new MicroSD card and attempt to set it up on on my #RaspberryPi5
▪️​ if I'm successful, I'll set up #Jellyfin on it
▪️​ create a little storage system for my microSD cards so I can swap them in and out (I won't wipe the one that has #Ubuntu on it, but set it aside so I can use it in the future)

I have a hunch I will ask 🎅​ for a new Raspi this coming Christmas... maybe the #RaspberryPi500 😅​

Great plan, @elena !

RPis are awesome, but if your plan is to run a little #YunoHost homelab long term, you could also consider repurposing an old small-factor desktop like those sold by #AteliersduBocage (👉 https://boutique.ateliers-du-bocage.fr/83-enfin-libre-).

In my experience, those might be a little more powerful and stable than a #rpi (granted, I stopped at RPi 4 with 2 Go of RAM, so maybe it is not the case anymore 😅).

Update: got YunoHost flashed on my microSD card but I just realized that I cannot connect my Raspi via Ethernet (the recommended way) because my router is up on a tall shelf in a closet. So I've ordered a WiFi extender with an Ethernet port.

I hope this will work...

So my Raspi5 with #YunoHost experimentations will have to wait till Thursday morning 😭​

@elena

- I can't reach my RasPi
- It didn't get an IP assigned on the network
- No I mean I cannot reach it *physically*.

Strong bash.org feelings from this one:

@elena I’ve used DietPi for Jellyfin for years first in a RPi 2B, migrated to an Odroid C2, then Azulle Access3 (last week I migrated my JF server to my Mac mini). Overall I can’t say anything bad about it. I tried Docker, but was overkill for my needs so I went with bare metal installs.

I still have DietPi running on the Pi purely for PiHole duties.
