Then this page is for you! You will: [list=1] [*] Install Raspberry OS (Debian Linux) on a Raspberry [*] Install Apache Web Server, PHP, MaySQL, phpMyAdmin [*] Register a free domain (dynamic DNS) and use it for your RED hub [*] Install the RED Matrix [*] Keep your Raspberry Pi and your Redmatrix up-to-date [*] TODO Running Friendica with SSL [*] TODO Make the webserver less vulnarable to attacks [/list] [size=large]1.
