Raspberry Pi is getting busy

Posted on vr 16 oktober 2026 in 2026

A while back I added k3s to both of my Raspberry Pi 5 devices running Debian 13 Trixie. The idea is to run most software in a containerized manner. The last couple of days I've been adding some stuff and now one of the Pi devices is actually getting a bit busy.

It is great to so how snappy software can perform on this small devices. Not too shabby.

Recently added services include Akkoma, Nextcloud and Artifact Keeper. And Headlamp to oversee it all

This device also runs my Forgejo instance, mysql and a couple of CNPG managed databases now. Thus far only half of the eight Gigabyte of RAM is allocated. Nice :-)
