- Description: Solar hosting with a Raspberry Pi Zero.
- Author: Scott Evans
- Author URI: https://scott.ee
This repo holds some code that will be useful if you wish to host a static website on a solar powered Raspberry Pi. The battmon folder contains a Python script that calculates the battery percentage, battery voltage, load, uptime and CPU temperature and ouputs it as JSON to be read by your website.
The docker-compose.yaml can be used to re-create the hosting environment. The web server is Static Web Server and is perfect for a low powered device like the Pi. The deploy.sh script is used to clone and deploy my website to two Raspberry Pi hosts (one solar, one backup).
This project is ongoing and a full write up and hardware requirements can be found on my website:

My site is the one being served from the solar Pi!
