Second Life
On this project I work on reusing and repurposing old hardware.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
I have been collecting a lot of tech gadgets that I don’t really have a great use for nowadays, so I have been wondering what would be some use cases for these gadgets that I have got. So far these are my ideas:
- 1. Use Nextcloud on a raspberry pi zero to use as a portable cloud. 2. Use P4wnPi to turn my raspberry pi into a USB pentest tool. 3. Use Internet-in-a-box to turn any old computer (Raspberry pi in my case) into a offline internet catalogue. 4. Use Kiwix on desktop or smartphones to have access to all the internet knowledge base. 5. Use a Raspberry pi 4b as a USB gadget to code remotely with my iPad using only a USB-C.
Left to Right. Raspberry pi Zero w with P4wnpi. Raspberry pi 4b 8GB with my Dev Env and other things. Raspberry pi zero 2w - PiSugar with maybe PWNAGOTCHI or IIAB. Raspberry pi 4b 4GB with IIAB, Next-cloud, Wikipedia, and khan-academy. Samsung galaxy s7 Edge with Kiwix.

Raspberry pi zero 2w - Portable Cloud
I did not succeed in making the zero 2w a portable cloud using nextcloud but now I am trying to keep it simple and just created a samba share. As the samba share does not automatically sync with my phone I use a raspberry pi 4b 4GB turned into a portable cloud and internet in a box.
PICLOUDTo create a samba share on the raspberry you can use the following bash script to enable, download and get everything you need to get started.
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install samba samba-common-bin
mkdir ~/shared
sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
[0smbshare]
path = /home/"USERNAME"/shared
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
public=no
sudo smbpasswd -a 0smb
sudo systemctl restart smbd
hostname -I
sudo nmcli device wifi hotspot ssid "example-network-name" password "example-password"
