Open Media Vault on a pi setup with external hard drive. Mainly for Samba Shares, and added the DAAP server. And since it comes with portainer I used that to setup HomeAssistant, Syncthing, CUPS, kanboard, whoogle, and Trilium Notes. Amazing little piece of tech.

I got a RPi 3B as my Pi-Hole that I'll eventually use as my Wireguard VPN, too. Hoping to get another Pi device for hosting Jellyfin on.
I bought a pi0 when I first started hosting things. It ran a pihole and piVPN instance for about 3-4 years before it died.
I would love to have another one, they are great pieces of hardware.. but are just scalped to hell. I'll keep buying old desktops and laptops with higher specs for cheaper until the costs go down.
I have one 3B running adguard and a wireguard vpn server. Another 4B doing the same, plus kitchenowl and home assistant.
Only use it as a backup pihole now. Used to have an *arr stack on it, but needed a beefier pc
I have a 4 meg Pi 4b running Pi-hole and Mini-DLNA. It’s rather under-utilized for those tasks, but it serves them quite well.
I used to have a self-built, locally-hosted power strip with individual outlet control that served it's own interface. It was powered by a Model B+. I've since moved to home-assistant and zigbee plugs since my self-built solution was pretty bulky, but it was by far my longest lived Pi project.
I use my pi for 3dprinting management.
Mostly as kodi/plex front ends. I've set them up as a kubernetes cluster in the past but they didn't have enough ram to run my torrent client. Now I just use an old Thinkpad running talos.
I have a Pi 3 running Home Assistant. I also have two Pi Zeros that I have MP4 Museum installed.
I use MP4 Museum to run projected Halloween decorations mostly but it's great to have a little box that will take a video file from a thumbdrive and dump it out the HDMI port on boot.
I only have one that's hooked up to my 3D printer for Octoprint. I'd like to set up another one as a SDR, but I leave my app hosting to more powerful machines.
I used to use them for all my setups. Then the shortages stopped that. Nowadays I just use one big server.
Pi 3b to run syncthing
ADS-B antenna that feeds Flightaware, FlightRadar24, and ADSBexchange
I have one set up as an irrigation controller. I was going to build an OpenStack cluster to test configuration settings on (I run a production cluster at work), but gave up when the supply chain problems happened and prices skyrocketed.
Testing ideas with kubernetes before moving to the POC stage
I use it for WOL on my PC
Pi 4 running Home Assistant.
A second one sitting in a box meant to be the first of a cluster, until they disapeared
pi3 once died on me so i tried pine64 sbc and they never die...so no, i wont buy pis anymore.
I have a Pi4 that is running Homebridge and pihole.
I have a couple of Pis, but currently only using the Pi 4 which is my Kodi box (LibreELEC). I planned to use my older Pi 3B as a web server, but I also have Proxmox on a NUC running as my main home server, so I don't know if there's any advantage to using the Pi at this point.
Use an old Pi 3B for running zigbee2mqtt on docker.
I used to run just the Linux version of it but decided to install docker on the Pi so it's as easy as doing docker-compose pull
to update it.
This is so I can control my various lights and switches using Home Assistant.
I have been for about a year with one 8gb Pi 4 with a 500gb ssd. I bought it as a way to dip my toes into self hosting. Started with Home Assistant OS, but now I have a bunch of containers set up, such as Home Assistant, Plex, Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, qbittorrent, and a few others. I will eventually get something a little beefier to host my media, but will absolutely keep the Pi running.
