Rancang Bangun Sistem Hosting Mandiri Dengan Raspberry Pi Dan Aapanel Sebagai Solusi Alternatif Web Hosting Murah

Advances in information technology have increased the demand for web hosting services, but the cost of commercial hosting services remains a barrier for small-scale users such as students and UMKM. One option is to create your own hosting system with low-cost equipment. The purpose of this study is to develop and create a Raspberry Pi-based self-hosting system that uses aaPanel as a server control panel, so that it can be a low-cost web hosting solution. The research method used is research and development, which includes system design, hardware and software implementation, and system testing. This system is built using a Raspberry Pi web server, a Zero Trust-based Cloudflared tunnel for public access without the need for traditional port forwarding, and Secure Socket Layer (SSL) as a data transfer security method. Testing results show that this independent hosting system functions well, websites can be reliably accessed through public networks, it has an adequate level of security, and it uses resources efficiently. Therefore, this independent hosting system is suitable for use as a low-cost web hosting solution for small-scale needs.
