It should be also mentioned that this modest web server is hosted on a Raspberry Pi type 4B at home.
Raspberry Pi is a series of small single-board computers (SBCs) developed in the United Kingdom by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in association with Broadcom. The mini-computer with its armv7l processor has quickly become the favourite of hobbyists. Projects can be started with suitable Linux distributions. Even an aged RaspPi e.g. the models 2B and 2B+ can definitely serve to simple tasks quite well.
Caution Proprietary and untested third-party software sources (Linuxes) can threaten the system.
The Pi is one of the latest disruptive devices in recent years that has changed the way that we think about and design embedded solutions and the IoT (Internet of Things). In fact, the Raspberry Pi has had tremendous success among hobbyists and enthusiasts. This is partly due to its low cost but also because it is a full-fledged computer running an open source operating system that has a wide audience: Linux.
This website is mainly aimed towards private persons who want to have their own cloud, web presence or even a game server without great costs and inconvenience. Running your own web server can also be kept under certain guidelines at a cost of far below 5€ per month after a self-fixed time period.
As well as it is not intended to be difficult; however, it isn’t too difficult or unnecessarily complicated. You’ll experience plenty of complications along the way, but the installation of the operating system on your Raspberry Pi does not need to be one of them.
A device in »headless mode« is a computer system that has been configured to operate without any display, keyboard, mouse etc. Headless systems are typically controlled over network connections. Thus reduces the amount of electrical energy and system resources - that has meant for the power consumption and as well as for the RAM installed - used.
Please note that here were all exercises under the socalled »headless mode« achieved.
