Raspberry Pi Home Server
In this course, you'll learn how to turn a Raspberry Pi single-board computer into a complete home server, capable of sharing files and media, including backups of other computers, and providing secure access to your home network when you're away.
What you'll learn
Are you interested in adding some smarts to your home network but don’t know where to start? In this course, Raspberry Pi Home Server, you’ll take an ordinary, off-the-shelf Raspberry Pi and turn it into a complete home server for a fraction of what such systems would normally cost. First, you’ll get familiar with the hardware options and the Linux operating system in order to get the server online. Next, you’ll add capabilities like remote access, file sharing, and a virtual private networking server to provide secure access to your home network when you’re away. Finally, you’ll install Docker, allowing you to easily add from an existing library of applications like media sharing and a private Git server. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge to operate and maintain your own private, self-hosted server.
