I was gifted a new Raspberry Pi. I already have a previous pihole setup and now looking for other ideas to run on my network.

I was considering a network monitoring tool. Any other suggestions?

    On a pi, specifically?

    Mine is currently running Mailrise and serving as a qdevice for Proxmox. It used to run nginx as a reverse proxy, but I moved that to a different machine. I had a second pi specifically for sharing USB devices over the network, but I wasn’t using it very much so it’s currently not in use.

    If you’re looking for general ideas, I think a pi would make a good appliance for ddclient, Homepage/Dashy, an SSH/VPN jumpbox, UPS monitoring, or a notification platform. Basically, any set-and-forgot service that you want to keep running 24/7.
