# Raspberry Pi
17 April 2026
In January 2024, I bought my first Raspberry Pi, and since then I have been using it to self-host a wide variety of services that replace proprietary apps that I use every day. All of the apps and services I run are docker compose stacks for ease of use and security.
For instance, I decided to move away from using Google’s password manager and instead serve my own password manager using Vaultwarden, which is a Bitwarden compatible server that you can host yourself.
Other services I run include a VPN, a Minecraft server for me and my friends, Nextcloud for file storage, a CouchDB database to sync my university notes for free, and a reverse proxy so that I can safely expose these services to the internet without having to use a VPN at all times.
