Telegram Infrastructure on a Raspberry Pi
A personal Linux infrastructure that hosts several Telegram bots and filters DNS traffic for the home network, designed, deployed, and maintained end to end on a single Raspberry Pi.
Why this project
[To fill in: the starting point — a personal need, wanting to learn self-hosting, or a concrete problem you wanted to solve at home.]
[To fill in: why a Raspberry Pi rather than a VPS or a cloud service — cost, learning, full control over the hardware, local latency, etc.]
How it's built
The Raspberry Pi runs continuously on the local network. Pi-hole intercepts DNS requests from every device on the network, while several Telegram bots run in parallel as independent systemd services, each with its own process and its own logs.
DNS flow and Telegram bots running as independent systemd services on the same Pi.
What it actually does
- [To fill in: e.g. automatic bot restart on crash via systemd]
- [To fill in: e.g. monitoring disk space / Pi temperature]
- [To fill in: e.g. automatic backups of local configs / databases]
- [To fill in: e.g. remote system updates via SSH]
