AdGuard Home on your Raspberry Pi

      Equipment Below you can view all of the equipment we used for running AdGuard Home on the Raspberry Pi. Recommended Raspberry Pi Micro SD Card (8GB+) Network Connection Optional Raspberry Pi Case USB Keyboard USB Mouse We tested this tutorial on a Pi 400 running the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS Buster. Installing AdGuard Home to your Raspberry Pi This section will show you how to install the AdGuard home software to your Raspberry Pi. This is a relatively simple process as we can download the compiled version of the ad blocker directly from their website. Before beginning, we highly recommend that you set up your Raspberry Pi with a static IP address. As AdGuard Home works by acting as a DNS server, it must retain the same IP address every time it reboots. 1. Our first step is to update and upgrade our operating system. We can update the package list and upgrade all of the installed packages using the following two commands. sudo apt update sudo apt ful...

Raspberry Pi to monitor broadband speed

How to use your Raspberry Pi to monitor broadband speed Step 1: Check for updates As usual, let’s start with checking for the latest updates. Run the following commands in Terminal: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade Step 2: Install speedtest-cli There are various methods to measure the speed of broadband connection. We’re going to use speedtest-cli , which, in the words of its creator, is “a command line interface for testing internet bandwidth using speedtest.net.” speedtest-cli isn’t available right away from the Raspbian archives, but we can install it from the Python Package Index (PyPI). That’s easy to do so by using a tool called pip that comes preinstalled on Raspbian Jessie and Stretch. You can make sure that you have pip by running this command: sudo apt-get install python-pip If you a message that reads “python-pip is already the newest version,” that means that we’re good to go. Next, let’s use pip to install speedtest-cli: sudo pip install speedtest-cli...

Set up a Raspberry Pi OwnCloud server

    How to set up a Raspberry Pi ownCloud server There are plenty of ways to get cloud storage. You can turn to services like DropBox or cloud services from major companies like Apple and Google. But you don’t necessarily have to pay money to get reliable cloud storage – and you don’t necessarily have to trust giant companies like Apple with all of your private files. You’re more than capable of replicating these services on your own. You’ll just need some storage (like an external hard drive) and a device. You’re reading The Pi, so you know where this is going: we’re going to use a Raspberry Pi. So grab your tools! You’ll need all the usual stuff plus an Ethernet cable  and   an  external storage device  (optional, but recommended – if you’re going to set up ownCloud, you might as well give yourself plenty of storage space). We’re going to install DietPi, a super-lightweight operating system for the Raspberry Pi. Then we’re going to use ownClou...
