My buddy wants to send me a Raspberry Pi 4 to setup for him. Says he needs a router/server type deal that can manage a network and route web traffic, including to locally installed domains on the same Pi. I'm familiar with setting up LAMP servers and managing networks via manufactured router. Though combining the router with the server on the same machine is rather new to me.Any advice/ideas/suggestions welcome.@kev ? @mike ? @ericbuijs ?

@lee8oi it’s Dan be done relatively easily, but I feel like that’s a lot of ask of a little Pi.@mike @ericbuijs

Plus I have to consider the remote administration interface that will help him manage it all.My payment for doing all this is getting a Pi 4 kit of my own. Sounds fun to me :)

This also includes hosting a wireless network.

@kev I did mention to him that it wouldn't handle a lot of traffic. But I think it'll be something of a starting point for what he's got in mind in the future. Any advice you got I'm happy to receive. I can use it on the better hardware too when he realizes how much more he needs to invest :)

@lee8oi Hi Lee, I have no experience at all when it comes to installing a server/router so it would be pretentious when I'd give you any advice in this area. @kev @mike

@kev Double checked with him about the traffic. It's actually not going to be a busy server but rather a small local network type thing. Disconnected from the regular internet. It's just providing a hotspot with customized web/network services for local use.

@lee8oi Sorry that I (we) couldn't be of more help. If you want to I can boost your question. BTW: Coincidently my wife asked me this weekend to create our own 'cloud' because of persistent problems with her iphone/icloud. So I'm somewhat in the same boat now. Instead of going the LAMP route I'm going the easy way (or so I think) and buy a NUC and install Yunohost and Nextcloud on it. Probably not an option for you but one never knows. @kev @mike

@ericbuijs Thanks, but It's pretty clear that I can't get much help from this community. Ive asked questions in the past and never really got any answers. So I'm not surprised to get an incomplete & useless response from Kev and silence from everyone else. But thank YOU for taking the time to reply. Means a lot to me.

@lee8oi I'm sorry to hear that. I'm having mixed results myself depending on the topic. Plenty of contacts but in the end only a few people that are really interested in a conversation. Have you ever tried XMPP? The dynamics of chatting in the right chatroom leads to quicker answers (no guarantees of course😅 ).
