RaspiOS Raspberry Pi3
The Pi 3B+ was the home-media workhorse for years: a 1 GB armv7l box on Raspbian that quietly served DLNA and seeded torrents off a portable SSD. Retired 2026-05-19 — its disk and both services have moved to the RPI4. The page below is kept as a historical record (and as fallback documentation in case the migration ever needs to be undone).
Hardware
- Raspberry Pi 3B+, 1 GB RAM, armv7l (32-bit)

- Previously held a 466 GB Samsung T5 SSD — now lives on the RPI4
