That was a depressing read.

Sorry, you may be right; I was just thinking of licensing in general.

There are licenses that allow for free non-commercial/personal use but paid business use.

Start with running something in docker. Probably get containous/whoami running, then portainer, then either traefik or caddy.

Once you’ve got that all working, you can run anything you want easily.

If you’ve got an old machine lying around, you can use that to start.

The end goal will be to have none of the Pis connected to wifi; this will be a closed unit. For now, both of the Pis I’m testing with are connected to my wifi.

I want to communicate over USB, and it seemed like ethernet-over-USB + regular web services are the easiest way to do that.

The goal is to have each Pi Zero be able to communicate with the Pi 4b and the Pi 4b be able to communicate with each Pi Zero.

When you say I should see it as a USB-Ethernet card, where would I see it? I only see eth0, lo, and wlan0 when I use ifconfig -a on the 4b.

EDIT: Oh my god. My cable was bad. I swapped cables and now I can see it.

I SURE AM

You don’t need a special client, just a browser. Otherwise, yep!

If you’re carrying your media with you, you could run Jellyfin on the server to provide access to the media to anyone connected to its wifi.

How do you find that?

Check out MXRoute. (Specifically the lifetime promo, though I’ve seen it on sale for cheaper.)

You could dual boot and find out. Or even do a live session and play around.

Check out Discord’s Webhooks; many applications publish notifications through them. Should be as easy as sending a message to a specific URL, I think.

I highly recommend taking the time to learn docker instead of running directly.

Thanks! That makes a lot of sense.

Potted?

Check the forums, I know people already made these.

So I’d have to rebuild the kernel, not just provide a kernel argument? That’s definitely not a step I’m ready for.

While I believe you, I haven’t been able to enable hibernation with it on.

You have to turn off Secure Boot to enable hibernation, and I value hibernation enough to do so.
