HoneyPi

I prefer a decentralized web.

I started a kickstarter project. It is called HoneyPi, a Raspberry Pi Cluster for home.

I’ve been a big fan of computers since the first version of the Raspberry Pi. As I am a software engineer, I want to push the idea of a decentralized internet. Therefore, I have developed a prototype of a Raspberry Pi cluster with a dedicated tech stack. The cluster is built on 2x Raspberry Pi 4 computers and includes features like:

  • Admin UI
  • Dashboard
  • DNS Server
  • Home Assistant with Matter
  • S3 Storage
  • Video Streaming
  • Docker
  • Git
  • Reverse Proxy
  • …

The basic tech stack is almost ready and currently I work on the administrator UI, which will be a simple way of customizing the cluster. Next steps will be to find a suitable chassis and setting up the infrastructure for delivering software updates via remote. You will be able to deploy any Docker stack to the cluster and shape your own home network with dedicated services.

So the final product will contain then:

  • 2x RaspberryPi 4
  • 2x 128GB microSD Cards
  • 2x Power Supply
  • 2x RJ45 Patch cables
  • 2x 1TB SSD
  • 1x Chassis
  • HoneyPi OS (based on Debian Trixie)
