This article provides you with the best and most popular applications by categories that you can self-host on your Raspberry Pi device. By Bobby Borisov.
Before we get to this article’s point, let’s look at Raspberry Pi’s main advantages as a self-hosting platform. Size matters. Finding a space in your home for a server or PC that you don’t trip over every day or that suits the interior design isn’t the most practical or easy thing to accomplish. With a size as small as a cigarette box, Raspberry Pi can virtually be placed anywhere and stay completely invisible. The Raspberry Pi’s fanless design ensures complete silence, to the point where you may forget the device is in your home performing its functions. And finally Raspberry Pi has a negligible impact on your electricity bills due to its sub-3 watt consumption.
