Self-hosted Pi

Comments, posts, and likes happen on hardware that stays in your house. You are not renting a cloud desktop, and there is no multi-tenant browser instance in someone else’s data center holding your authenticated sessions.

What you need

Raspberry Pi 5, 16 GB recommended. A2 microSD, 64 GB minimum. Official 27W USB-C power supply — most mysterious failures on a Pi are power failures wearing a software costume.

Why it is built this way

There is a category difference between software that helps you write and software that speaks as you. The second is a representative, and where a representative runs is a trust decision rather than an implementation detail. The argument in full is in your social agent should live in your house.

Then connect it

Set up the Pi, then connect it to Microphone so the voice agent can deploy social media subagents. The step-by-step version is in how to run social media from a Raspberry Pi.

Frequently asked questions

What hardware do I need?
A Raspberry Pi 5 with 16 GB recommended, an A2-rated microSD card of at least 64 GB, and the official 27W USB-C power supply.
Why not run this in the cloud?
Because the agent acts as you in public. Keeping it on hardware you physically control means your logged-in sessions are not sitting in shared infrastructure, and you can stop the work by unplugging it.
Is a Raspberry Pi powerful enough?
Yes. The work is mostly waiting, punctuated by short bursts of activity on a schedule. That profile suits a small always-on machine drawing a few watts.
Do I need to know Linux?
Not beyond flashing a card and running one install command. Day-to-day work happens in Microphone, not on the device.
