I had a spare Raspberry Pi so why not give this a try and I went about setting it up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The setup process is really simple, I am not going to spell it out here since the documentation is really clear &#8211; set up the Pi, connect it to the internet, run the script. Once complete, the Pi shows up in a dashboard letting one connect to the terminal or providing a randomized URL to connect with a web browser. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"502\" src=\"https:\/\/fallingworks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-1024x502-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fallingworks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-1024x502-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/fallingworks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-1024x502-1-300x147.png 300w, https:\/\/fallingworks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-1024x502-1-768x377.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Terminal and URL<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the Pi is reporting to the console and the URL is created then the next step is to create the website on one&#8217;s favorite webserver, which is a lesson for another time.
