Please make an episode 2: How to scale with a raspberry pi :)
@@hirschheisstdermann he meant scale up automatically to infinity based on certain metrics within a few minutes and scale down when idle to save on power.
How to scale a thumb-size raspberry pi to 3-floor server
Kubernetes is the way, but you would need the Pies. - I am thinking about doing this myself because I have a kube cluster burning money on GCP right now. - but I am not sure about ARM. - I might start with 2 second-hand mini 86 machines. - I have a feeling I am going to not be able to install something, - some library or service - plus I develop on Mac - if I get a bug in production I dont want to be wondering if its an ARM / 86 difference. - On the other hand - If I had an ARM Macbook, - that would be different.
Automaticly pls - it should order the extra hw automatically and call someone to add it to the system
Episode 2 is him walking to Microcenter to buy a second rPi
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
Man chill..
Hahaha
Use fail2ban. Problem solved.
Just use cloudflare.
@@nathanherder1414 fail2ban doesnt help against ddos attacks
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.
Is it capable for WebSocket? I mean can it handle a small online game with 150 users?
@@1Naif there's a lot of variables besides users that determine if it could but theoretically yes. Probably could. But not very well unless it's a tic tac toe or other simple game server. Real time interaction game play? no, just no.
@@1Naif Hello. I am working on aproject which involves controlling hardware components let's say leds connected to raspberry pi GPIO pins and i want host a webpage on raspberry pi to control the leds from a browser that's not a part of local network. Can I actually achieve this with web socket server. If not please tell any other ways to do this. Please do reply..This is for my college project.
@@1Naif Ill be the one that says 'of course'. You could build a super efficient bitwise framework..The pi would eat it up :)
So how do you set up one, do you have links to comprehensive tutorials?
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

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)
Self-hosting is a perfect way to lose a lot of time and money, and because time is money is even worst. I'm being paid to do the best with the technologies, time and money we have, not to re-invent the wheel.
@@ArmandSterbend cope
What
I'd say no to containerizing if you're a single dev. It's too much work for nothing. If you're a company, then it's fine to containerize
If you want to learn new things, this is how it's done.
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!
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. :)
Publish a video about this.
I'd buy a course on this.
@ameeraqel1090 And what would you be willing to pay for such a course. I have this very expertise. :)
Solid design principles in 100 seconds 🤩
Yes I would love that
Yes, please! Could it be a longer episode? The longer, the better!
Please

Host a website on your own network to avoid the big monopolies of the internet!
**ISP blocks outgoing port 80 and 443 traffic**
VPN to an ISP which won't or use Tor onion services.
Buy a VPS on a provider what is far from US jurisdiction
Wireguard to it (Even my home router has a Wireguard plugin :P)
Point DNS A record to VPS
Some routing and forwarding
???
PROFIT
Man that is fucked up. He should actually make a video about IP4 / TCP / UDP and IP6. I bet most services online could be entirely descentralized without the need for so many servers & the cloud if ISP's would do shit like this.
Outgoing? You mean you can't connect to any website at all?
@@unicodefox I think it means that his website/server that is being forwarded from the Pi to the internet through his router using that public ip dynamic address gets blocked by his ISP
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 can use ngrok/cloudflare tunnel though
I made this so many times that it was like showing my computer haha. Glad this info is available for everyone, for the old school people we had to read lots an lots of pages separately to get this working as you are. thank you very much
ddos attackers: it's free real estate
Cloudflare joined the chat
Just install and configure fail2ban, problem solved.
@@Sevenhens you can use it for any port you like. I'm running a couple of webapps on my Pi and fail2ban has been doing great job at banning hammering attempts. Setup jails and banaction = iptables-multiport and it's pretty much idiot-proof.
@@_MPP_
A modern DDOS (layer 7 attack) is nothing more than an http(s) request from millions to billions of zombie computers. It'll absolutely cripple your network, and you'll have no way of knowing what's a legit request or not!
EDIT: It seems in the past DDoses were done at lower layers and they CAN be mitigated somewhat using what you described. But I still stand that in 2021, modern DDoses can still cripple a specific website and the only solution is having a gigantic enough bandwidth pipe to take the hit.
@@_MPP_ Btw that's a good setup for network security, all im saying is that a DDos flood is impossible to mitigate since those requests look legitimate. You can ban russian and chinese ips, but with hacked amazon and Google IOTs in the US and Europe, it's now impossible to mitigate against zombie DDos attacks.
This is the kind of creativity we need in the world right now.
Thank you so much for this AMAZING and concise tutorial.
I really enjoyed your Freedom theme running in the 'background'!
This was hilarious, sad and educational, all at the same time.
Yes 😞
+1!!!
I love how you talk about politics with out 'talking politics'. This is my goal in day to day conversation.
I did it! Thank you for this, it'll surely be useful in the future for more complex projects
Thank you very much! Exactly the video I was looking for!
Amen! Finally a good tutorial about this very topic! Had my RP4 sitting on the shelf for months now not being able to get it to work. Thank You!
Historical moment: Swearing on Fireship (even if it was censored) xd
it's happened before.
it happened before in the electron vid I think
Situation with aws and parler well justfies that
Censorship could make any cryptoanarchist really mad
Makes me like Fireship even more.
This video is literally my job right now. Kudos.
Pretty sweet! I've been trying to figure out how to do this for a while now. Thank you!
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!!
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!!!!! Thanks!!!
With a straight face - This was great. Thank you. Very informative.
Your extremely subtle sense of humor is really refreshing.
This is funny and informative at the same time lol😂
I didn't learn anything new but it's nice to see someone go through the process
Excellent video man! Great job explaining the fundamentals of how web applications are hosted on the internet!
Please expand this to a bigger scale and build an app with it :)
Who wants to see that?
I'd want to see the migration process and it's pains along with the monetary tradeoff happening
This was awesome! Exactly what I was looking for, I wanted to start hosting a forum for the faculty of my university. This was so informative, specially since I'm new to nginx. I would be curious to know, how to distribute the load with that onto multiple raspberry pies. Would enjoy a follow up video on that very much!
Excellent video, love the humour and you expain the process really well. Cheers
Awesome! I just loved! The idea is amazing, especially for small busines! Please keep doing videos like these.
Fireship just to lyk you became my favorite tech youtuber today
OMG I always wanted a guide like this :o
I've been thinking to do this, but apart from downtime, do you have a suggestion on how to fortify our deployment if we are going to deploy it on home network?
Really this is best video ever seen ....
Setting up own cloud in 8 fire mins🔥🔥
I love this channel even more now :)
"just in case a natural disaster destroys the raspberry pi like a volcano or peaceful protestors"
ROFL greetings from Seattle
the capitol building is in seattle?
@@cookingandjava7574 he's talking about capital hill in Seattle where there was peaceful protesting with instances of violence like when a 15 year old white kid drove through with guns trying to "kill some black guys", and then he shot a couple people before he got shot himself. White supremacists like to use this example to say that seattle protests were violent because most people don't know what actually happened. They just hear people died so therefore violence on both sides.
_Seattle_ : "Allow us to introduce ourselves"
Sorry, I'm not equivocating the Seattle riots to the attempted coup we just witnessed. It's just funny to reflect that peaceful protesters in 2020 have a bad habit of going off the rails
@@josealvaradotorre6870 I think that your comment does create the false equivalency that BLM protests also went off the rails like the MAGA insurrections first in Michigan state house and now in the US capitol. BLM protestors at most made property damage and bruised some cops. MAGA protestors came in with guns and killed a cop and helped Nazis plan to kill US officials. It's not the same at all.
Thank for helping us to build website on our own raspberry server, I will definitely need it one day.
This is the best channel on UA-cam for software devs 🙏
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!
Wish this was done like a month ago. Struggled a lot to get this up and running for some reason haha.
Would be great to see a follow-up video on security that can be applied for a rasberry pi when hosting your own website.
Most under rated video ............. I had to learn all this stuff the hard way. Countless hours of exploration.
This was something I always wondered how to do. Great video!!!
The problem is heating of processor and electricity fluctuations.
Just one of many problems.
Tip: Use a fan and or heatsink, it helps a lot, may be overclock?, I'm not an expert though.
@@amalirfan 😆😆
A UPS and a better cooler should fix those problems. Maybe also a generator. But If you are really serious... Why not buy a VM in a DataCenter and host it from there?
@@MarkVonBaldi Because you could get taken down like Parler. Better IMHO to use cloud server as a proxy, personally I don't want to open up ports on my home network.
This was hands down the most entertaining episode you did ! Kudos for all the jokes without taking any political stance, I hope more people will follow you example, because this is way too fun to not be done !
You just gave me all the steps to make my own Minecraft server on the pi, thank you so much
Actually I have tried this one with my pi but didn't knew there's a service which can take your dynamic ip mapping. Very informative kudos 👍🏻
No one:
Jeff: Different sized cords into different sized holes
What does the no one line add to the joke?
Great alternatives for Dynamic Ips + a domain is to use a service that check & update (if necessary) the IP in the DNS config of the domain. I'm running a docker container to update that in Cloudflare. I think Duck DNS is another alternative as well, there are some Docker images available for that as well.
That’s exactly what he did
And that's why you don't comment before finishing the video.
This video made me really like this channel
This was educational and entertaining.
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.
I just woke up, how this dude already on topic with today’s events. Lmao
He must be in on the conspiracy! :D
🤣 This was the best gimmick to form a tutorial around. Very bold, very amusing and very informative.
You are doing awesome work, keep the flow running 👍
“In case your app is destroyed by a volcano or peaceful protesters” SHOTS FIRED 😂😂😂
LOL it came out of nowhere 😂
"shots fired", literally, huh?
@owo グーチmoshi
Gov didn’t ban parler is still operates but not allowed to be downloaded in App Store
Ans App Store owned by private foaming called Apple In which they hey have freedom to use there services to the way they see it fits
If not allowing parler is a thing then be it
If you have company would you allow angry chickens on the internet to change what and what you want about your own company I don’t think so
@owo グーチmoshi how did they violate the camera apps terms of service?
@@ko-Daegu Yes Apple is a private company, but there are legal protections in place that make it so they aren't liable for the content on their platform. When they show a clear bias in their moderation, such legal protections might be removed and they would be held accountable for the illegal activity that happens on their platform, i.e. the large amount of CP that gets posted on twitter.
Like a volcano, or a peaceful protest...
Is he /ourguy/ ?
@@armaldoillo630 for sure
based
For people who don’t know he’s talking about the what happened int he halls of Congress by alt-right wing
@John Doe
Oooh sry I’m not American I was confused as what he was talking about so I saw other comment I remember him liking or something but saw many said he was talking about what happen recently.
But I agree radical lefts are no better (being antifa or others)
But could you elaborate how is blm bad I thought it’s basically saying hey slavery is bad & black people lives matter meaning don’t slave something like that
Thank you very much. I found answers to many of my questions in this video.
im actually going with this approach for a website I'm building, we have to build out server infrastructure using hardware we buy and are putting in datacenters in Chicago, San Fran and New York locations for now. Very similar to your project.
What AWS did to parler is *exactly* why I have never liked "the cloud".
There is no "cloud", just someone else's computer.
The term makes it sound like some celestial heavenly place that delivers 1's and 0's
"There is no "cloud" Just someone else's computer."
Wow, that was a perfect way of putting it!
@@kaitsurugi3280 I wish I could take credit for it but I saw it on a sticker years ago lol
Of all the business that run in the cloud, across the whole world, you have list only 1 example. There are many reason to not like the cloud but what you mention here, isn't a strong one.
@@freshhb100 it is the ultimate example.
Thank you very much, Fireship! As a sequel to this, could we ask for an SSL + certbot setup with ARM docker images? That would be super cool!
lol no, that's way too esoteric
wow, thanks for making this video. This opens up so much opportunity for me.
Every video from you channel gives me out of the world feeling....
Can't wait for the follow up where you create a data center with hundreds of Raspberry Pis
I was about to sleep, saw the notification, now sleep no more
Very cool! This would make a great series, I’d love to see more videos about this
Hands down 🙌 best video seen in 2021.
Between AWS and making your own service, there is a lot of room for other solutions ! Traditional hosting services also work nicely !
1x vCPU and 4GB RAM VPS container in some data centre, with static IP by default, 100Gbit connection to the outside world, pre-installed with some full Linux stack, with 99.98% uptime, for $5 a month - is a very viable alternative to a raspberry pi in a shoe box under the bed.
@@gaius100bc 1x vCPU and 4GB RAM VPS for $5 a month? freaking where?
Are you french?
I totally agree with you. But my biggest problem is why would I invite 300 people into my home? There’s so many things that could go wrong.
I fricking love the door analogy+picture.
This video is absolutely brilliant
When you said they migrated to serverless i thought they moved to lambda functions for a second hehe
Yeah... i was confused... then I finally got the joke :)
Or S3, :)
was confused too, pretty funny joke tho ahahahh
"Both of which are terrible options, but lets go with the first one... From here we're going to build a NodeJS ap..." 😂
Great for a little home server. But for the throughput that a public server has to deal with, it takes a ton more, including a good firewall.
very much impressed how dense in information but at the same time rich in content fireship is able to present my favourite topics 🚀
I highly recommend automating your rpi build with mkaczanowski/packer-builder-arm and Packers ansible-local provisioner, or just flashing the base img and to all your pis and then running Ansible in parallel on all of them. I switch between the two, depending on what I'm doing.
The thing is that even if they can self host, vendor lock-in might be a major issue. We should really have a decentralized cloud, just like Piper-net :D. Individuals would share their computing power to host the cloud, and the collected fees from clients would be split between automagically.
Super fun afternoon project! Keep these comin:)
What a good video!
I'm so glad I'm subscribed to your channel. Love your content:)
Would definitely be interested in a part two that goes into the making it scalable.
For fireships 2021 predictions video I wrote I expected code documentation will need to become even more important/transparent for risk management & as a tool for platform migration. I didn't anticipate it to be from a singular event right when the year starts! I more assumed a series of small tiny wake up calls such as infrastructure brown outs, Industry regulation, or brexit compliance issues, etc would be the type of clarion calls.
great video, you make this stuff look easy
This is amazing ! Thanks for this Video!
Can you put your approach when you are learning new things ! ❤️
8:16 was definitely the best moment! 😂😂
A word of advice for anybody thinking of trying this: hosting a public website on your local internet is like painting a huge target on your back. Please make sure you know EXACTLY what you're doing before attempting this, or you are likely to get burned.
Underrated video. Thanks.
I love this topical programming content!
There are obviously a lot of issues here with scalability, containerization...
But my most important recommendation to anyone trying to do this is to make sure your raspberry pi is issued a static local IP address by your router. Most routers will automatically use DHCP to dynamically assign IP addresses to internal devices so your raspberry pi will be prone to being reassigned a new IP address at which point your port forward will need to be updated. Instead, you can assign a static IP to the pi based on its hardware ID / MAC address!
How to do that?
Thank you for this nice video. I learned a lot from it.
Indeed, building your own data center is no easy task. And scaling becomes rapidly an issue.
I am not a computer networking expert. But, what do you think of an open-source distributed infrastructure as an alternative to AWS and other cloud services.
Users will still get billed, but the revenue will help maintain the infrastructure, and eventually pay full-time developers working on the project, etc.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you for reading!
P.S. Please, no toxic comments.
Literally done this exact thing with my raspberry pi, even used no-ip, quite easy imo and fun.
Mind blowing 👏. Thanks for this awesome video.
The thought of having something *on* the cloud and getting kicked off (especially for a big site) is spooky. AWS definitely has to have some secret sauce. The speed of some AWS data transfers is surprisingly fast.
AWS is very expensive as fuck. My understanding is, that companies use it when they need something _fast_ no matter the cost, or when they need scalability over anything else. Most smaller to medium sized companies can be served from a single rack server in the basement just fine for a fraction of the cost.
I am planning on building my own web hosting and this appears. 😂😂😂
I really enjoyed this content 🤸🏻♂️ great video
This is awesome, I'm gonna make it!! :D
