Is it possible to host Open Media Vault, PiVPN, and PiHole on a Raspberry Pi 4?
I currently have a Raspberry Pi 4 with 8GB of RAM and I was wondering if it was possible to host all 3 of these on a single pi. If so, will it require Docker? What are the steps on doing this? Is there a specific order I need to go in?

SSH access denied on Zero 2 W
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I used raspberry pi image to create a pi user with the password 'raspberry' and all I get is an access denied message.
Tried adding a userconf.txt file with "pi:raspberry" on the sd card and it's the same. I've never been able to SSH into this thing...what am I screwing up?

Is my RPi4B dead?
When powered, the red LED stays lit, the green LED blinks very briefly when I give it power. Then nothing.
I have tried flashing the eeprom with different SD cards using the PI Imager to make them, still no cigar.
I have a multimeter, is there a test I can do to see if it's fully toast and a Ā£45 paperweight with a red led on it?
Thanks guys.

Trouble with wireless connection Raspberry Pi3
I am trying to setup a raspberry pi for my 3d printer but i am having trouble setting up a network connection. Whenever I plug in ethernet it works fine but I am trying to make it wireless. I am using the lite version of the operating system. When I imaged my pi I made sure to use the correct network info.
Every time I sudo ping www.google.com it does not work.
How should I troubleshoot my way into fixing this.

ways to have code in PI work at school. Please help
Ok, so quick run down;
I have code in my laptop that will take in audio and detect city names, then it will send the city names to the Raspberry Pi, get the weather info about the city, and then send it back to my laptop to a TTS.
Issue is, i would LIKE to take this final project to school, but, there are some issues.
The code works at home when both the laptop and Pi are connected to the same wifi network, so i thought about using my phone as a hotspot, but, it took a while for the Pi to connect to it, and, id need to change the IPs in the code to fit the new IPs when connected to the hotspot.
I could change the code at home whule connected to the hotspot, but, then, another issue is, the fact that at school i dont have a monitor, keyboard or mouse to check the PI. While i have an internal file script that runs the Pi code when it connects to a wifi, i wont fully know if the Pi connects to the hotspot mainly due to having issues when trying to connect here at home to the hotspot.
If anyone has any solutions, please let me know asap

difference between dev kit boards and regular boards
Hi all, as the title suggests Iām looking to find out the difference between a dev kit board and itās ānormalā counterpart, specifically this one: https://thepihut.com/products/olimex-esp32-c3-devkit-lipo-risc-v-development-board
(Iām looking to just use an analogue thumb joystick with it coded to send up, down, left, right signals to a PC - would this be suitable?)
Thanks.

Connect Pi 3 to iPad
Is it possible to connect my Raspberry Pi 3 Model B V1.2 to my iPad 8th Generation?
I would like to use my iPad as a screen for my raspberry Pi so I can learn coding and Iād like to use my magic keyboard to type into the raspberry Pi. From my research Iāve found its possible to connect an iPad with a USB-C port, but iāve got a lightning port and havenāt found a way to connect my Pi in a way that will let me use it how I would like to.
Help with this would be greatly appreciated, my Pi is already set up with an operating system installed so I'm just struggling to work out how to connect it to my iPad.

Using a pi4/cm4 as the heart of a DAP, questions about some parts of the pi part of it
The basic project scope of this is to make a DAP (digital audio player), where I have a power bank of some sort that powers a cm4 and a DAC/amp for semi-portable HiFi audio. All of my questions will be posted outside of this main post so they can be individually replied to, anything past this can be considered unnecessary but gives some insight into why I have the questions I do.
Background
I like good audio stuff, I don't like the way a lot of products are designed. Most DAPs are made to be used like a phone but are pretty huge and run on versions of android that often lose support from any of the decent streaming services just a year or two after release and are a pain to take apart to replace the battery when that's a problem. Most DAC/amps either have the same battery issue; are made to draw power from the host device over USB (rarely pd), leading them to cause additional battery drain and have relatively low power output; or are made to be used as desktop units and throw any concern of size out the window. My experience with RPI is pretty limited but I have done some involved electronics projects before, just based around different control methods.
Plan
My solution to this is to have a battery pack, most likely going to run off of 21700s and incorporate the power management and safe shutoff stuff in it, that powers a raspberry pi with external storage like a naspi cm4 type deal, into a portable DAC/amp that's had it's battery removed to run solely on external power also from the bank as the pi doesn't want to feed very much power. This stack while it would be very high quality output runs into an issue similar to DAPs here, it's not small. So I want to make the screen element to control what's playing separate from the rest of the audio stack so the stack can just be in a backpack or something, ideally wirelessly (but not using Internet protocols like ssh to avoid needing a router), to control what's playing and all the navigation.

Need help for project of using a raspberry for a robotic project with optical character recognition
So the project is to create a robot that can navigate through a maze, with symbols like letters or colored squares on the walls that indicates actions for the robot to do. I need 2 cameras for this, one at the right and the other at the left, but I don't know how to do letter recognition with 2 camera on the same raspberry at the same time. I even never used a raspberry before so I don't know if it is doable. It would be nice if the raspberry can handle the movement of the robot, the 2 cameras and 2 other sensors like a lidar and a IR sensor.

Hi! I installed Home Assistant OS on my Raspberry Pi 3B, but it won't seem to connect when I type the URL in my Web Browser. It shows the URL and IP on the Raspberry Pi, but when I tried putting them in my web browser it didn't work. Is there anyone knowledgable of Home Assistant here that can help me?

Raspberry Pi wonāt connect to hotspot because of heat
Hi I'm right now taking part to a robotics competition (Robocup Korea) and I'm using a Raspberry Pi 4 to execute a python script. It was working perfectly and everything until, 30 minutes before my match, the Raspberry starts heating a lot and I decided to unpower it to let it refresh. The problem is that I'm using SSH and normally the Raspberry is configured to connect to a hotspot.
When I powered the Raspberry back, it heated super fast. And it would not connect to the hotspot so I couldn't SSH and we lost the match.
Please can someone help me I really need to fix this before 12H ?
Ps : Raspberry Pi 4, no lite mode, both lights on when powered

Is there a way to get MongoDB 7.0 on a Pi 5?
Hi! I've been actively trying to find a way to be able to install MongoDB 7.0 with no success so far.
MongoDB's platform support:
https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/administration/production-notes/
Pi 5 has an arm64 architecture and is based on Debian 12 (bookworm).
- The platform support mentions Debian 12 only for x86_64.
- Latest platforms supported for arm64 for are: macOS13, RHEL/CentOS/Rocky/Alma 9, Ubuntu 22.04.
The main problem is that none of these are supported yet for the Pi 5 and only ubuntu 23.10 is supported. I quote: "We have no plans to backport Pi 5 support to 22.04 LTS."
Rocky 9 also seems promising, but has the same issue currently: https://forums.rockylinux.org/t/raspberry-pi-5-doesnt-boot-with-alt-image/11894/4
Does anyone have any ideas?

raspberry pi 4b not working only a red light
the light on the pi will only stay red
i have tried multiple different boot options on both usb and SD including pinn
but I cant get any response from my pi including no video output
tried many different things in the troubleshooting forum
and i either have not been able to do them due to lack of bieng able to use the pi or they have not worked
I cant get any screen at all
no action light blinks even after multiple hours
tried giving extra power from my build hat power supply and the pi power cable at the same time nothing
multiple different bootloaders no different results
called the pi shop in Cambridge they said its dead but i think there is a possible solution somewhere that someone has
and I don't know how to reset the EEPROM through the gpio pins cos I don't know how to connect the pins to my computer {I use a laptop}
I don't know how to solder nor do I have a soldering kit
I don't have a touch screen or anything to connect to the display port {not the HDMI ports the port on top of the pi }
it broke when I was assembling my freenove 4wd smart car kit
it just turned off while I was plugging something in {not into the pi its self but a part of the car} and that's when it broke
it had also rebooted when I accidentally dropped a screw on it lightly
I also cant get to the files of the pi by plugging the pi into the computer
its not lack of power
I think its an EEPROM corruption
possibly shorted
I think there was a small spark when I dropped the screw
I think pins ether 2 and 4 or 4 and 6 touched
pins 4 and 6 touched and it corrupted a lot of things when i was screwing the thing in
the previous times like with the screw the pi had force rebooted and with the screw i think that time it wasn't the pins that force rebooted it
i think the screw had bridged a gap and discharged multiple capacitors
also I think I have managed to get a couple flashes from the action light by using the usb or SD boot thing in the imager but I haven't had any luck from the OS yet

Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB Coding
I was planning to get one of these in order to just have a nice Pi that would allow me to code in most languages C++,C#,C, java, python, etc. Would the 4B 8GB be able to do this? Or does its OS/arm/power prevent it from being viable?

I need some help with Programming in general.
i have a Project since a really long time and i had a really nice idea.
Its about NFC chips. So basically you hold an NFC chip at an Arduino/Rasp NFC Reader and then it would play a video with sound on a display nearby.
And if i want to make my project more advanced. The Program should also be able to play different videos for different NFC chips.
If someone is interested in a challenge and in joining my journey id like to even reward someone. 25 Euros for the Program, Material list, and maybe the circuit itself.
Thanks!
