A Raspberry Pi server I built with Apache, PHP, and MariaDB to collect sensor readings for analysis.
Outcome: Set up a self-hosted database that received sensor readings and made them available for analysis.
My sensor experiments needed a database that could receive frequent device readings without hosted infrastructure.
I set up Apache, PHP, and MariaDB on a Raspberry Pi. Devices posted readings to PHP endpoints, while phpMyAdmin was used to create and manage the database tables.
The stored records could be queried for monitoring, modelling, and dashboards. Building the server helped me work through the interfaces between device requests, server-side scripts, and database storage.
