Doing an experiment with my RPi 4, using it as a small but powerful local server My current PC is a 10 year old Macbook Pro 13" 2010, which is sluggish sometimes So I want to offload some heavy tasks (ffmpeg time-lapse creation, long-running tasks and services) to the Raspberry Pi and connect to it either via LAN or Wi-Fi Below you can read my findings about performance, applications and general issues I encountered and tried to solve Table of Contents First steps Connection via LAN to PC Internet Sharing from PC to RPi Connection via Wi-Fi Benchmarking Transfer speeds via iperf Benchmark over LAN Benchmark over Wi-Fi Applications ffmpeg for time-lapse n8n for automation emby for media server hakatime Final words First steps I started by: Flashing a minimal RaspiOS Buster Lite image on a 32GB SD card (prob better for the future if I used a 128GB one) No setup of Wi-Fi connectivity through wpa_supplicant Creating an empty ssh file in the SD card to enable SSH access Powered up the Pi and I was able to connect via LAN
