Wee Red Masq [gav-pi7]

Disaster! The (almost) brand new motherboard in the server was intermittent - in its first two months, it locked up several times, so in order to get a replacement under RMA, I had to send it back first - so I'd have no server for many days!

That meant that it was time to order yet another Raspberry Pi for the house to take over a few services (mainly dnsmasq though).

Well that was back in 2017, and this Pi is still servicing the house, although in April 2023 its microSD card failed, so I had to re-install things again (albeit with the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS).

It's running the following services:

• DCHP and DNS services with dnsmasq
  • Ad blocker courtesy of this tutorial from AdaFruit, and using Pixelserv
    (note: change http to https in "ad_list_url" or it won't work)
• Scanner services with saned
• SSH server
• VNC server
