Raspberry Pi Server Projects
There is a ton of Raspberry Pi server projects that you’re able to do. These typically are better suited for home or development use where you don’t expect to be getting a ton of traffic.
Setting up a server on the Pi is a great way to learn more about LAMP stack, PHP, MYSQL and other server technologies.
