From Cloud to Couch, My Blog's Quirky Journey Home
Welcome to my latest digital escapade – a tale that’s part tech, part humor, and entirely real. I’m here to tell you about how my blog, once a mere visitor in the vast cloud, found its way to the cozy confines of my own home. Yes, you read that right. My blog now lives on a Raspberry Pi 4 server, right here under my roof. Let’s dive into this delightful journey of migration, shall we?
The Origin Story
Every great adventure starts with a vision. Mine was built with Docusaurus – a fantastic platform that makes documentation a breeze but also doubles up as a brilliant blog framework. It’s like having a Swiss Army knife, but for blogging. Neat, right?
Now, I must confess, I’m a bit of a neat freak when it comes to my digital life. So, naturally, my blog was dockerized. Think of it like packing your entire house into a single, magical suitcase – ready to move anywhere, anytime. This nifty trick made the migration process smoother than my morning espresso.
A Raspberry Homecoming
Now, let’s talk about the star of our show – the Raspberry Pi 4. This tiny yet mighty device transformed from a hobbyist's plaything into the powerhouse behind my blog. Hosting a blog on a Raspberry Pi? Sounds crazy, right? But that's exactly what I did. In the quiet corner of my home, this little gadget hums with the life of my blog, proving that you don't need a massive server to make a big impact on the digital stage.
