I made a VPS server using a cheap Bananapi M1 to host WordPress website | Armbian Linux
As an embedded systems engineer, I often encounter low-cost development boards for utilizing their capabilities efficiently, and in this video, I will show you how you can turn an underpowered computer into a fully working web server.
In fact, I am using this board to run my personal website right now, https://alaminn.com
Feel free to check the website :)
The main dev board is a Bananapi M1, which has a very old A20 processor with 1GB RAM, but this is quite enough for small static websites.
With a free domain from Digitalplat and a tunnel using Cloudflare, it is now quite easy to make a website on your own.
Note: My ISP does not provide a real IP, so I had to use a tunnel (Cloudflare) to access the server over the internet.
