Wow, what a high quality video! Nice work ensuring that the video and audio quality are top notch! It's exciting seeing what people are doing with the latest Raspberry Pi! Would you happen to know of any benchmarks for how Raspberry Pi 4B performs with number of requests on a Node server?
Probably depends on a bunch of factors such as the complexity of your server, your internet connection, if you use an SD card or an SSD for possible data storage, if you overclock your Pi and if you use the lite or desktop version of the OS. I am interested myself. I just started getting into web development so I'll probably test this in the future and maybe remember to reply :)
Well... I ended up spending the whole evening figuring this out. My conclusion is: for a simple "hello world" page it can handle up to about 600 requests a second. I have no idea what is a proper way to test this, I just tried sending a get request every couple miliseconds in a loop. Above 600 requests a second the response time often got long and it could even stop working. I used Express.js, the desktop version of the OS and did not overclock (regular 1.5 GHz RPi 4B)
Oh good stuff, actually what I was looking for. I'm planning to build something with a raspi 4, rgb strips and Flutter. Thank you! P.S: That file system is really cool as well... now you got me wondering if I should give this a shot in tandem with the rgb thing
micro is a terminal editor and has the common commands (ex: control+S for save) just like most editors. It should be able to completely replace nano, I think. I beleive you can also use it split screen (one half of the window for your PC and the other half for Pi - at same time). I am new to it.
He just created a personal server where he stores data about his webpage(s) which users can access by requesting. For example - suppose his website xyz.com is a music downloading page. He stores all the actual music files in his raspberry Pi server and keep it switched on all the time for the server to function. You visit xyz.com and request to download a music file , your browser requests his raspberry Pi to let you download the requested file.
It's such a strange thing for me to get hung up on, but you really should have trimmed the other end of that command strip. The tab you snipped was for removal :)
Omg I was just looking at rpi proj but found out exactly what I want, which is a way to transfer media from my phone and store it in a file server which I can browse.
Silly question would you gain anything from implementing Kubernetes onto your RaspberryPi ? I'm trying to figure out what project to do and don't really understand what Kubernetes is for/ what is useful about it
Cool video. Can you please let us know something about the installed nodejs web server's performance? I am planning to buy one pi to setup such server but I'm very confused thinking its performance, reliability's comparing to the paid hosting services. Also, webserver should running 24x7, so can this little boy do this for 24x7 continuously?
If you’re needing a production server where there will be users who need reliable speed and uptime, I would say don’t use the Pi, UNLESS you know what you’re doing.
I am using the new Windows Terminal. It's not installed by default, but you can get it from the Microsoft Store. Takes a little bit of customization to get it to look good, but it's pretty straightforward.
great video. i looked up the droppy file server and the person whom made it is not working on it anymore with the last time being 2020. do you know of a good replacement that is still supported and is as simple and good like droppy?
That's a great showcase of the RPi 4 features, except for the limited storage on the SD card. Which hints sticking some extrenal USB 3.0 hard drive next to it.
Yeah without an external drive it wouldn't be recommended to use as a file storage server, but it would work fine for a web server for serving web sites.
Me looking down at my megaminx... Me looking around at my monitors and LED lit desktop setup... Me looking at my systems domain name, while you refer to your setup as 'the Lair'... WHO ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU IN MY HEAD?!?!?!
You can turn off the power when you're not using. It's suggested to set up your Node server and/or file server to boot automatically with the OS so that it's truly "Plug and play".
You can write a bash script that will boot the server up automatically when the device powers on. If you ever need help with that, feel free to reach out to me when the time comes.
This was just a fun little project I did. I have no plans on making a tutorial for this project. Perhaps in the future I may do something similar however.
In case you have a static ip address, you should use your modem DMZ option, add MX zones to your raspberry pi and also your own DNS, using cloudflare will make it easier for you to do so. DDNS would be another option which is not 100% errorless.
that is also my concern, but maybe since he only uses the Pi at home, he doesn't need that? I am looking for a new room to rent and am worried about the whole Ethernet cable issue since I hope to learn to use the pi server outside of the home and maybe even put a small website up.
It’s to check and make sure that the file hasn’t been modified by a nefarious 3rd party. Hackers can be clever, so checking the hashes is always a good thing to do.
You have a huge command center but don't know how to setup a raspberry pi without monitor and keyboard attached? One can do all the config with config-files on your sd-card.
But this will only work on your local network Its no way connected to the outside of the world right? When you would be in your home network you can use this as a web server But it doesnt solve any purpose if the "web" server is not open to the internet
You will need to open a port (usually 80) on the router to make it a web server. Be careful though, you need to secure the pi first. Here is a good starter www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/security.md You might want a dynamic dns service too, if you don't have a static public ip address. There are free and paid ones. Modern router admin usually had settings to configure them, but if not, you can use something like ddclient.
If you just need to temporarily share a site you're working on with someone and don't want to change your router config, you could also use ngrok or localtunnel. If you're using their free tier, the URL would just change every time you start it up.
I never found a good enough reason so far to get a pie ... Since Everything can be installed and run on my pc... Lets be honest here .. the pc is mostly running anyway .. So why use a second device that has little to no purpouse .... Especially with other options like dropbox .... gdrive etc ..... which can serve as a bridge with zero cost or installation ...
that being said ... I wiill probably give in one day and solve some problems that don't exits as well.. to get some linux / cmd exposure.. Even talking to friends that own a pie ... their only reason seems to being free of "the cloud" ... and to fiddle togehter stuff for fun and for the sake of fiddling xD... which is a good honest reason ;) ....
I'd say portability of it is another thing to look at. You could even set it up to work with a network coming from your phone if you have a hotspot capable phone. At that point you have a portable web server on a portable network. I'd research web security first though if anyone ends up being interested in that idea.

backend for a website, API etc
your own VPN, your own cloud service such as NextCloud, your own media (I want mine for music), your own web site....

You do realize the tabs you cut off are what is used to remove the sticky part later right?
Yes, that was intentional.
I am not able to install node js in my rpi using the same commands as you did. Can you help me with the updated command for installing nvm?

Yes although it would require further configuration.

How much file can the server hold? As much as the SD card?
Yes as long as that’s how you’re Linux file system is set up. Which it should be by default.
