How I Turned a Raspberry Pi into an Open-Source Edge Cloud with OpenNebula

2026-01-31T13:00:00+01:00 for 00:30

This talk shows how a Raspberry Pi can run a complete open-source cloud using OpenNebula. With MiniONE handling the installation and KVM doing the virtualization, a Raspberry Pi becomes a small but fully functional cloud node capable of running VMs, containers, lightweight Kubernetes clusters and edge services. The goal is simple: demonstrate that homelab users can build a full cloud stack with compute, networking, storage and orchestration on affordable hardware using only open-source tools. A short demo will show a VM launching on a Pi-based OpenNebula cloud, highlighting how the platform scales down to tiny devices while keeping the same clean and unified experience found on larger deployments.
