Lately I've been doing more again due to the current situation. Of course, I'm paying particular attention to power consumption and noise. After good experiences with the architecture, even with power-hungry applications such as Mastodon, I'm now using the smartphone technology for my homeservers, too.

There are with more open hardware, but the is widely available, well documented, powerful and inexpensive. And it is available with up to 16 GB of RAM.

Anyone operating a server on the Internet must install updates quickly. However, many people forget to restart running software so that the new version runs instead of the old one. The tool helps with this on Debian-based Linux systems, which unfortunately is usually not pre-installed.

On my Raspberry Pi 4, needrestart always runs correctly (automatically after apt upgrade). On my Raspberry Pi 5, however, I first had to create a configuration file as described by the main developer here:
github.com/liske/needrestart/b
Previously, the tool always claimed that a reboot was necessary because it thought an outdated Linux kernel was running.

Next, I want to activate hard drive encryption on both raspis. Unfortunately, this is not as easy under or as on other Debian systems. If you have managed this: Please let me know how you did it!
