If your toaster starts bitcoin mining to pay the debts to your fridge, you are facing IoT. Measuring temperatures, lighting an LED, home automation and more is collected in this section. We will also have a look at some hardware and software and provide guides for IoT setups.
AlmaLinux
I am in the middle of setting up my home lab, but also working on a project, named beby.cloud. In both cases, I want to do the initial setup automatically on a Raspberry Pi system. Fortunately, AlmaLinux OS supports Cloud-Init, so we can handle this easily.
Podman
Podman is the rootless drop-in replacement for Docker, but how do you administer Podman containers, images and more with the browser? Let's check out Cockpit and Podman application for it.
Hardware
Two days ago (28th September 2023), the Raspberry Pi foundation announced the new Raspberry Pi 5. The device should feature double the speed with the new RP1 chip and will be available in for pre-order right now.
IoT
When it comes to IoT/Edge computing, you have to consider one very special paradigm: "Everything is pull-only". Ansible and Podman can make this work, and we can build a device, that is configured via a Git repository.
Fedora
Fedora Linux is a modern Linux distribution, which can be used on your workstation, server and everything between. It is not very well known, but you can deploy Fedora Linux on your Raspberry Pi, too. Let's see what you get when opting for Fedora.
Fedora
Fedora provides a wide variety of Linux based distributions. In the "Fedora - Overview" article, I provided a brief introduction of the different tases. This article is focused on the newest "Edition" named Fedora IoT. Let's see what it is about and why you should use it for certain use cases.
Fedora
Fedora is often used synonymously for the Fedora Project, Fedora Linux distributions and Fedora as an ecosystem. All of this is true but may need some additional explanation. This article is explaining what Fedora is about and serves as a Kickoff for further Fedora related articles.
