☁️ VPS vs. 🔌 Raspberrypi
2024
VPS (Virtual Private Server) means Linode, AWS, Azure, GCP etc.
Why VPS over Raspberry pi?
- Raspberry pi needs re-installation of OS if linux gets messed up.
- Raspberry pi needs additional installation of docker/k3s
- Raspberry pi needs to be handled over broadband (router settings) via port forwarding to make it accessible over internet.
- Raspberry pi would need static ip (monthly paid) or any other no-ip service to make the dynamic ip actually work for any project to work over longer duration of times.
- Raspberry pi would need to be setuped for access over ssh.
- Raspberry pi is strictly dependent on factors like:
- internet conectivity over broadband
- electricity on site
- No fucking wires.
Why raspberry pi over VPS?
- Cheaper in cost i.e., you would save cost around 8-10 thousand probably as if it were hosted on aws as you can host multiple applications on 8GB raspberry pi.
