After my transfer is done and I know everything is working, I’ll be writing up the full Raspberry Pi setup.
I’ve managed to use OpenClaw to create an SSH bridge to my Zorin PC, run a daily backup of the Pi, check the bridge with a cron job, save the backup to my PC, then remove it from the Pi to save space.
OpenClaw is basically becoming the control layer for the Pi, connected to ChatGPT through an API. I’ve also got SearXNG running as a private search engine, WordPress hosted on the Pi, and Uptime Kuma coming soon for service monitoring.
Once the SSD is ready, more services will be added.
Full blog post coming soon, including what worked, what broke, and what I learned.
What would you run on a self-hosted Pi setup like this?
