  • It runs on a Raspberry PI 4 using a Nginx web server
  • It uses a Cloudflare tunnel to connect to the internet safely and securely

Future Improvements:

  • Continue to add my personal projects to the website and improve the website’s functionality

About WordPress:

  • WordPress (WP) is a free and open-source content management system used to build websites
  • It takes the JavaScript, HTML, and CSS needed to build a website and adds a simple user-interface
  • Fun fact, it powers over 40% of the internet’s websites 

What's a Raspberry PI?:

  • A Raspberry PI is a and affordable, credit-card sized computer
  • They are used for a wide variety of projects such as this website
  • They use a “system on a chip” or SoC which is a CPU, RAM, and network connectivity all packaged into a sigle chip

About Nginx and Cloudflare?

  • Nginx is like a logistics manager. It connects the website to the internet and manages communication between them.
  • Cloudflare is a middleman between this website and the internet. It dictates who is able to access the site and ensures no one can gain direct access to the Raspberry PI.
