Raspberry Pi SSH is the easiest way to remotely control your Raspberry Pi. Once you have activated it on the Pi using either a MAC or a windows computer is dead easy.
Full Guide: pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-ssh
In my video I show you How to SSH into Raspberry Pi on either a mac or windows. I will write a brief instructions below if you’re having any troubles.
Firstly you need to turn on Raspberry Pi SSH on the actual Pi. To do this simply go to raspi-config and go to advanced options-SSH and simply enable it. If you need to get the Raspberry Pi’s IP address simply enter hostname –I (You may need to rewrite it as copying and pasting is a bit iffy sometimes)
On a Windows computer simply download and install putty, in here type the IP address of the Pi and keep the port as 22. Simply connect and login and that is all you need to do!
On a Mac you simply need to open up terminal (Found under Go Utilities) and then write the following command. SSH pi@your IP address. You will probably need to respond to a security question but apart from that you’re good to go.
I hope this helps for learning how to SSH into Raspberry Pi, if you like my video then please subscribe so you stay up to date with all the coolest projects, guides and much more.

In this video I will be putting together a Raspberry Pi music player that you can control from any device that has browser within your local network.
Full Tutorial: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-music-player/
For this project I use a prebuilt software image known as the Pi MusicBox. This is a software package that allows you to connect to several different services such as Spotify, google music and more. It also lets you play local music files so if you have an offline library you can still play that.
This is a headless music player so you won’t be able to control the player on the Pi itself. You will need to use a different device such as your phone, computer or anything else that has a browser to be able to control it.
You won’t need any extra equipment apart from the standard parts you need for the Raspberry Pi. However, it has been recommended that you invest in a USB audio card or a sound card for the Pi so that you can get better audio. This is entirely optional and I found the audio through the HDMI just fine.
Since the Raspberry Pi music server uses a prebuilt image you can’t just easily install this onto an existing operating system. However, once you have installed the software you can add or do extra stuff on the Pi as it still contains everything you get with normal Raspbian.
It is very important you have your network setup for this project because you won’t be able to control it via the Pi directly. With the Ethernet just simply plug it in. The WiFi you will need to do a few extra steps to getting it working correctly.
There are a few security issues with this particular software package that I detail over at the website linked above. If you have concerns, then be sure to head over to the website and read up on it.
Hopefully you have been able to setup this Raspberry Pi music player correctly and without any issue. If you do run into any troubles, have feedback or anything else then be sure to drop a comment below or over at pimylifeup.com.")

Please follow the latest version of this tutorial at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjs9nSUnUJI
In this video I show how you can setup a Raspberry Pi Plex server so you can have your entire media library in one location. Anyone with a valid connection to it will be able to stream from it.
Full Tutorial: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-plex-server/
There is currently no official ARM version of Plex so instead we will need to download an unofficial package. This is done by dev2day.
One of the best things about the Plex client is the amount of devices it’s supported on. There is almost no mainstream device that you won’t be able to install the client or at the very least access it via the web app.
There of course some bottlenecks for using the Pi as a streaming server. This includes the 2.0 USB ports if you’re looking to hook up a hard drive to the Pi. The pi will still make for a decent plex server probably handling 2-3 people.
If you have trouble getting the package to download, then change the URL in the package source list to just plain HTTP. (I explain this in the video) It should then download without any issue at all. However, the standard way should work just fine. (It didn’t for me unfortunately.)
There are quite a few ways you’re able to store your media on the plex server. The best way would be on an external hard drive. You can make this a network attached storage so you can access it anywhere within your local network.
You should find that all the official clients should find your server automatically without needing to add the IP in. If you want to use the web app then you simply need to enter the IP with the port 32400 and then /web/.
I hope this video helps you with getting the Raspberry Pi plex server setup correctly. If you come across a problem, noticed something I missed or just some feedback then please don’t hesitate to leave a comment below over at pimylifeup.com
