Launch Python script at boot

Sometimes we could need to start a Python script when Raspberry Pi boots up in a full autonomous way.

RPi could be really useful if used headless, without a direct user interaction (at least when starting the system), so if we created a script for a RPi that needs to be executed at startup, we also need a way to accomplish this task.

In this post I will describe a way to execute a Python script (but this works also for every other kind of software) when booting the RPi.

Webserver on Raspberry Pi

There could be tons of reasons to configure a webserver in your home. From a simple blog (personal, just like a diary, or public if you wish to share your thoughts with the web) to host for an home software repository, a web developing ambient and so on.

For an home automation system, a webserver is probably the easiest way to access your house when you are away.

A Raspberry Pi is a quite useful piece of hardware if you need a small webserver. It shouldn't be used for big systems, where hundreds of people needs to connect at the same time and a lot of data is transferred through the network, but for small tasks is perfect!

Now with Raspberry Pi 2, things are getting even better as this new version is much more powerful than the original one.

Yowsup server

This time I wish to share some thought with you about an evolution of my projects. No need to code something for now...

In all my previous posts about Youwsup and Whatsapp messaging I always assumed on thing: chatting involved just one Raspberry Pi.

Anyway I own more than one RPi. What if I wish to use Whatsapp with more than one device?
