  1. it's been quite a while since I updated it's been quite a while since I updated my current home lab setup and oh boy my current home lab setup and oh boy my current home lab setup and oh boy there has been a lot of changes even there has been a lot of changes even there has been a lot of changes even down to the dashboard here I used to use down to the dashboard here I used to use down to the dashboard here I used to use Heimdall and this is Homer just one of Heimdall and this is Homer just one of Heimdall and this is Homer just one of the many changes or additions now in the many changes or additions now in the many changes or additions now in this video what we're going to be doing this video what we're going to be doing this video what we're going to be doing is an overview of all the services is an overview of all the services is an overview of all the services running on my home lab and briefly talk running on my home lab and briefly talk running on my home lab and briefly talk about how just everything is set up now about how just everything is set up now about how just everything is set up now unlike a lot of other videos I'm not unlike a lot of other videos I'm not unlike a lot of other videos I'm not going to bore you by talking about my going to bore you by talking about my going to bore you by talking about my firewall and database setup for the next firewall and database setup for the next firewall and database setup for the next 15 minutes instead most things that 15 minutes instead most things that 15 minutes instead most things that you're going to see in this video can be you're going to see in this video can be you're going to see in this video can be easily spun up just with a Docker easily spun up just with a Docker easily spun up just with a Docker container as most things on my network container as most things on my network container as most things on my network are simply that easy to understand kind are simply that easy to understand kind are simply that easy to understand kind of front-facing applications that most of front-facing applications that most of front-facing applications that most people in my household have access to people in my household have access to people in my household have access to and use on a daily basis now this video and use on a daily basis now this video and use on a daily basis now this video is sponsored by private internet access is sponsored by private internet access is sponsored by private internet access I'm going to talk about that a little I'm going to talk about that a little I'm going to talk about that a little bit more when I get to these uh download bit more when I get to these uh download bit more when I get to these uh download clients here now starting off with the clients here now starting off with the clients here now starting off with the dashboard this is the first thing you're dashboard this is the first thing you're dashboard this is the first thing you're seeing and it is beautiful this is homar seeing and it is beautiful this is homar seeing and it is beautiful this is homar one of the reasons why I went with this one of the reasons why I went with this one of the reasons why I went with this other than obviously the appearance is other than obviously the appearance is other than obviously the appearance is the integration with the r Suite of the integration with the r Suite of the integration with the r Suite of applications which you can see right applications which you can see right applications which you can see right here for example right here this is a here for example right here this is a here for example right here this is a calendar it's actually going to tell me calendar it's actually going to tell me calendar it's actually going to tell me when there's going to be new episodes when there's going to be new episodes when there's going to be new episodes released that links up to sonar so we released that links up to sonar so we released that links up to sonar so we can see what I have in my media server can see what I have in my media server can see what I have in my media server and let me know when things change we and let me know when things change we and let me know when things change we have a current download speed this links have a current download speed this links have a current download speed this links up to those download clients you can see up to those download clients you can see up to those download clients you can see this is my torrent client kind of this is my torrent client kind of this is my torrent client kind of integrated into here so I could see what

  2. integrated into here so I could see what integrated into here so I could see what is going on scrolling back up this is is going on scrolling back up this is is going on scrolling back up this is linked up to overseer so I can see all linked up to overseer so I can see all linked up to overseer so I can see all the requests on my server this is linked the requests on my server this is linked the requests on my server this is linked up to both jellyfin and Plex so I can up to both jellyfin and Plex so I can up to both jellyfin and Plex so I can see what is being streamed from my home see what is being streamed from my home see what is being streamed from my home server and overall customation is really server and overall customation is really server and overall customation is really nice for a while there I was using the nice for a while there I was using the nice for a while there I was using the container called home page which is also container called home page which is also container called home page which is also pretty but that is configured with text pretty but that is configured with text pretty but that is configured with text documents or text files this you can documents or text files this you can documents or text files this you can enter edit mode and from here you can go enter edit mode and from here you can go enter edit mode and from here you can go ahead change manipulate move move things ahead change manipulate move move things ahead change manipulate move move things around click on a application edit and around click on a application edit and around click on a application edit and then have access to everything you need then have access to everything you need then have access to everything you need save that exit save changes it's really save that exit save changes it's really save that exit save changes it's really easy to mess with and configure this it easy to mess with and configure this it easy to mess with and configure this it also supports Docker integration so if I also supports Docker integration so if I also supports Docker integration so if I click on Docker you can see all the click on Docker you can see all the click on Docker you can see all the containers this can read all the containers this can read all the containers this can read all the containers that are running on the same containers that are running on the same containers that are running on the same instance or the same server that this is instance or the same server that this is instance or the same server that this is running on so you can see a lot of the running on so you can see a lot of the running on so you can see a lot of the services right here it is missing some services right here it is missing some services right here it is missing some which I'll talk about a little bit later which I'll talk about a little bit later which I'll talk about a little bit later but we can see the ports we can see its but we can see the ports we can see its but we can see the ports we can see its current state the image and a lot more current state the image and a lot more current state the image and a lot more in here you can actually kind of manage in here you can actually kind of manage in here you can actually kind of manage it start stop remove and add it to Homer it start stop remove and add it to Homer it start stop remove and add it to Homer through here if you would like to through here if you would like to through here if you would like to additionally there are some additional additionally there are some additional additionally there are some additional settings so if I go over here go to settings so if I go over here go to settings so if I go over here go to settings we can change the default settings we can change the default settings we can change the default search we could download the config if search we could download the config if search we could download the config if we have some customizations here for the we have some customizations here for the we have some customizations here for the layout grid stack all the way down to layout grid stack all the way down to layout grid stack all the way down to appearance in which you can change here appearance in which you can change here appearance in which you can change here including custom CSS which is very nice including custom CSS which is very nice including custom CSS which is very nice additionally they do have a light mode additionally they do have a light mode additionally they do have a light mode which frankly I would not recommend and which frankly I would not recommend and which frankly I would not recommend and that right there is what's going to go that right there is what's going to go that right there is what's going to go on in this video I'm going to be going

  3. on in this video I'm going to be going on in this video I'm going to be going over all of these applications giving over all of these applications giving over all of these applications giving you a very brief rundown of what it is you a very brief rundown of what it is you a very brief rundown of what it is and how I use it and if you are and how I use it and if you are and how I use it and if you are interested leave a comment down below interested leave a comment down below interested leave a comment down below and I might make a full video on and I might make a full video on and I might make a full video on something that I'm going to cover if you something that I'm going to cover if you something that I'm going to cover if you guys are interested now one thing to guys are interested now one thing to guys are interested now one thing to understand about my home network which understand about my home network which understand about my home network which will kind of help you understand how will kind of help you understand how will kind of help you understand how everything's set up is I have three everything's set up is I have three everything's set up is I have three primary devices I have a Synology Nas primary devices I have a Synology Nas primary devices I have a Synology Nas which we're going to talk about at the which we're going to talk about at the which we're going to talk about at the end we have an unraid server which is end we have an unraid server which is end we have an unraid server which is running on a um I think it's a Terra running on a um I think it's a Terra running on a um I think it's a Terra Master Nas and then we have just a Master Nas and then we have just a Master Nas and then we have just a standard Ubuntu install with protainer standard Ubuntu install with protainer standard Ubuntu install with protainer running independently on an Intel Nook running independently on an Intel Nook running independently on an Intel Nook now we're going to start with the Intel now we're going to start with the Intel now we're going to start with the Intel Nook because that is what is running Nook because that is what is running Nook because that is what is running Plex at the moment if I go to protainer Plex at the moment if I go to protainer Plex at the moment if I go to protainer right here let's zoom in just a bit and right here let's zoom in just a bit and right here let's zoom in just a bit and let's live connect to this instance you let's live connect to this instance you let's live connect to this instance you can see this has 16 different containers can see this has 16 different containers can see this has 16 different containers definitely not as pretty of a setup but definitely not as pretty of a setup but definitely not as pretty of a setup but this is running Plex protein there which this is running Plex protein there which this is running Plex protein there which we're currently in Watchtower which is a we're currently in Watchtower which is a we're currently in Watchtower which is a really nice Docker application that will really nice Docker application that will really nice Docker application that will automatically kind of scan pull and automatically kind of scan pull and automatically kind of scan pull and update your containers for you really update your containers for you really update your containers for you really nice I will be making a dedicated video nice I will be making a dedicated video nice I will be making a dedicated video on that so do make sure you subscribe on that so do make sure you subscribe on that so do make sure you subscribe ring that Bell we have both Tesla mate ring that Bell we have both Tesla mate ring that Bell we have both Tesla mate and Kazam which we're going to be diving and Kazam which we're going to be diving and Kazam which we're going to be diving into but first Plex Plex right here this into but first Plex Plex right here this into but first Plex Plex right here this is my main media server and there's a is my main media server and there's a is my main media server and there's a lot of reasons for it I did a whole lot of reasons for it I did a whole lot of reasons for it I did a whole separate video kind of going over my separate video kind of going over my separate video kind of going over my reasonings primarily Plex just works a reasonings primarily Plex just works a reasonings primarily Plex just works a little bit better when it comes to little bit better when it comes to little bit better when it comes to sharing externally and now that it works sharing externally and now that it works sharing externally and now that it works better it works easier for people who

  4. better it works easier for people who better it works easier for people who aren't experienced with like IP aren't experienced with like IP aren't experienced with like IP addresses and all that I could add my addresses and all that I could add my addresses and all that I could add my grandma directly to my kind of home grandma directly to my kind of home grandma directly to my kind of home share for example she logs into Plex on share for example she logs into Plex on share for example she logs into Plex on all my stuff automatically just shows up all my stuff automatically just shows up all my stuff automatically just shows up pretty cool overall Plex works great I pretty cool overall Plex works great I pretty cool overall Plex works great I like the features I never use kind of like the features I never use kind of like the features I never use kind of the music or their specific live stream the music or their specific live stream the music or their specific live stream stuff which you can find down here never stuff which you can find down here never stuff which you can find down here never use any of that this is all my media use any of that this is all my media use any of that this is all my media right here if we go to activity for right here if we go to activity for right here if we go to activity for example dashboard we could see we do example dashboard we could see we do example dashboard we could see we do have the voice streaming from an Apple have the voice streaming from an Apple have the voice streaming from an Apple TV that's another reason why I kind of TV that's another reason why I kind of TV that's another reason why I kind of prefer Plex now of course you probably prefer Plex now of course you probably prefer Plex now of course you probably saw jellyfin right here now I run both saw jellyfin right here now I run both saw jellyfin right here now I run both and they're just connected it's pretty and they're just connected it's pretty and they're just connected it's pretty easy to the exact same library to the easy to the exact same library to the easy to the exact same library to the exact same server and jellyfit is more exact same server and jellyfit is more exact same server and jellyfit is more of a backup service because there are of a backup service because there are of a backup service because there are definitely constiplex and that is if definitely constiplex and that is if definitely constiplex and that is if you're trying to stream stuff offline you're trying to stream stuff offline you're trying to stream stuff offline Plex doesn't like that it gets kind of Plex doesn't like that it gets kind of Plex doesn't like that it gets kind of weird this is very helpful if for some weird this is very helpful if for some weird this is very helpful if for some reason I'm having network issues I have reason I'm having network issues I have reason I'm having network issues I have Century Link here so it's going to Century Link here so it's going to Century Link here so it's going to happen jelly pin works great again I use happen jelly pin works great again I use happen jelly pin works great again I use this if I'm having network issues and this if I'm having network issues and this if I'm having network issues and another reason I kind of like Plex is another reason I kind of like Plex is another reason I kind of like Plex is it's just a bigger application there's a it's just a bigger application there's a it's just a bigger application there's a lot more third-party tools and services lot more third-party tools and services lot more third-party tools and services and this right here the Thule is one of and this right here the Thule is one of and this right here the Thule is one of them so gonna sign in with Plex real them so gonna sign in with Plex real them so gonna sign in with Plex real quick and here we go we get a whole quick and here we go we get a whole quick and here we go we get a whole bunch of additional data and statistics bunch of additional data and statistics bunch of additional data and statistics about my specific Plex server we have about my specific Plex server we have about my specific Plex server we have play counts here Better Call Saul is play counts here Better Call Saul is play counts here Better Call Saul is super popular on my server we have bones super popular on my server we have bones super popular on my server we have bones my Grandma's watching of Roseanne I've my Grandma's watching of Roseanne I've my Grandma's watching of Roseanne I've been watching the handmaid's tale and we been watching the handmaid's tale and we been watching the handmaid's tale and we have a lot more data and if we go into

  5. have a lot more data and if we go into have a lot more data and if we go into graphs we can see a lot of that here we graphs we can see a lot of that here we graphs we can see a lot of that here we can see the play count by media type can see the play count by media type can see the play count by media type play count by hour so if I'm going to do play count by hour so if I'm going to do play count by hour so if I'm going to do server maintenance or something like server maintenance or something like server maintenance or something like that I might want to do it between 9 and that I might want to do it between 9 and that I might want to do it between 9 and 10 AM because those are the hours that 10 AM because those are the hours that 10 AM because those are the hours that there's absolutely no activity on the there's absolutely no activity on the there's absolutely no activity on the server play count by platform top users server play count by platform top users server play count by platform top users just a lot of stuff stream type play just a lot of stuff stream type play just a lot of stuff stream type play totals duration last 12 months we could totals duration last 12 months we could totals duration last 12 months we could see specific history so we could see see specific history so we could see see specific history so we could see everything that has been streaming here everything that has been streaming here everything that has been streaming here for how long how long it was paused just for how long how long it was paused just for how long how long it was paused just a ridiculous unnecessarily ridiculous a ridiculous unnecessarily ridiculous a ridiculous unnecessarily ridiculous amount of data but that's just one thing amount of data but that's just one thing amount of data but that's just one thing I'm addicted to is having access to a I'm addicted to is having access to a I'm addicted to is having access to a ridiculous amount of data so that is my ridiculous amount of data so that is my ridiculous amount of data so that is my media playback stuff at least when it media playback stuff at least when it media playback stuff at least when it comes to video TV shows music now I'm comes to video TV shows music now I'm comes to video TV shows music now I'm going to talk about my download clients going to talk about my download clients going to talk about my download clients and for that we have nzb git and divulge and for that we have nzb git and divulge and for that we have nzb git and divulge or bulge VPN this does have an or bulge VPN this does have an or bulge VPN this does have an integrated VPN real quick I'm going to integrated VPN real quick I'm going to integrated VPN real quick I'm going to go to my unread instance here which Kyle go to my unread instance here which Kyle go to my unread instance here which Kyle kind of give me a better way to explain kind of give me a better way to explain kind of give me a better way to explain how this works so here is everything how this works so here is everything how this works so here is everything running on my unread instance we have running on my unread instance we have running on my unread instance we have the VPN here and we have nzb git now the VPN here and we have nzb git now the VPN here and we have nzb git now this has a built-in VPN I'm using this has a built-in VPN I'm using this has a built-in VPN I'm using openvpn with private internet access and openvpn with private internet access and openvpn with private internet access and what I'm doing is I'm feeding nzb git what I'm doing is I'm feeding nzb git what I'm doing is I'm feeding nzb git through divulge so it says the network through divulge so it says the network through divulge so it says the network for the nzb git container is this for the nzb git container is this for the nzb git container is this container here so that means I have a container here so that means I have a container here so that means I have a VPN set up on both of my download VPN set up on both of my download VPN set up on both of my download clients now last time I did this I did clients now last time I did this I did clients now last time I did this I did leak my password I'm not going to do

  6. leak my password I'm not going to do leak my password I'm not going to do that again we have the user the password that again we have the user the password that again we have the user the password the actual VPN provider Pia is one of the actual VPN provider Pia is one of the actual VPN provider Pia is one of the default ones here and they were kind the default ones here and they were kind the default ones here and they were kind enough to sponsor this video if you enough to sponsor this video if you enough to sponsor this video if you don't know what a VPN is basically it is don't know what a VPN is basically it is don't know what a VPN is basically it is a way to hide your IP address from a way to hide your IP address from a way to hide your IP address from prying eyes my main use case is torrents prying eyes my main use case is torrents prying eyes my main use case is torrents if I'm downloading something like an if I'm downloading something like an if I'm downloading something like an Ubuntu torrent for example I don't Ubuntu torrent for example I don't Ubuntu torrent for example I don't really want people seeing my IP address really want people seeing my IP address really want people seeing my IP address when you use torrents your IP becomes when you use torrents your IP becomes when you use torrents your IP becomes public because you are connected to public because you are connected to public because you are connected to other peers and they can see that what other peers and they can see that what other peers and they can see that what private internet access this will do is private internet access this will do is private internet access this will do is one encrypt your connection to one of one encrypt your connection to one of one encrypt your connection to one of their own servers and then from there their own servers and then from there their own servers and then from there other people who can see your IP address other people who can see your IP address other people who can see your IP address will see it as that server that you're will see it as that server that you're will see it as that server that you're connecting to instead of your actual connecting to instead of your actual connecting to instead of your actual personal IP address you can also use it personal IP address you can also use it personal IP address you can also use it to connect to various places in the to connect to various places in the to connect to various places in the world PA has a bunch of different world PA has a bunch of different world PA has a bunch of different locations that you can pick from and locations that you can pick from and locations that you can pick from and basically pretend that's where you are basically pretend that's where you are basically pretend that's where you are another thing there's actually a another thing there's actually a another thing there's actually a graphical utility for Linux which is graphical utility for Linux which is graphical utility for Linux which is very nice not a lot of them actually do very nice not a lot of them actually do very nice not a lot of them actually do that including Windows Mac Android that including Windows Mac Android that including Windows Mac Android iPhone really whatever you need and this iPhone really whatever you need and this iPhone really whatever you need and this right here is what I'm actually kind of right here is what I'm actually kind of right here is what I'm actually kind of using for the docker container we have using for the docker container we have using for the docker container we have the oh VPN files this is directly from the oh VPN files this is directly from the oh VPN files this is directly from Pia support these are the configuration Pia support these are the configuration Pia support these are the configuration files that's what I'm personally using files that's what I'm personally using files that's what I'm personally using for my kind of home lab setup if you for my kind of home lab setup if you for my kind of home lab setup if you check out the link down below you can check out the link down below you can check out the link down below you can get 83 off and four extra months get 83 off and four extra months get 83 off and four extra months completely for free and when it comes to completely for free and when it comes to completely for free and when it comes to the actual kind of user interface this the actual kind of user interface this the actual kind of user interface this is the torrent client it's very standard

  7. is the torrent client it's very standard is the torrent client it's very standard when it comes to torrents you can add when it comes to torrents you can add when it comes to torrents you can add remove pause start up down if I go into remove pause start up down if I go into remove pause start up down if I go into preferences for example you can preferences for example you can preferences for example you can customize just about everything where it customize just about everything where it customize just about everything where it goes I have everything at least in a goes I have everything at least in a goes I have everything at least in a data root directory because in a lot of data root directory because in a lot of data root directory because in a lot of other applications such as sonar radar other applications such as sonar radar other applications such as sonar radar can see all that and move files around can see all that and move files around can see all that and move files around accordingly that's very important if I accordingly that's very important if I accordingly that's very important if I go to network here you can see it's go to network here you can see it's go to network here you can see it's using the ton 0 which is the actual VPN using the ton 0 which is the actual VPN using the ton 0 which is the actual VPN tunnel and if the VPN ever for some tunnel and if the VPN ever for some tunnel and if the VPN ever for some reason like if I forget to pay it or reason like if I forget to pay it or reason like if I forget to pay it or whatever it won't work it will whatever it won't work it will whatever it won't work it will automatically disconnect and I'll just automatically disconnect and I'll just automatically disconnect and I'll just get a bunch of Errors which is good now get a bunch of Errors which is good now get a bunch of Errors which is good now nzbiga is a little bit more complicated nzbiga is a little bit more complicated nzbiga is a little bit more complicated this uses what's called news servers to this uses what's called news servers to this uses what's called news servers to actually find and pull various files for actually find and pull various files for actually find and pull various files for example if you're downloading what's the example if you're downloading what's the example if you're downloading what's the ah there it is Big Buck Bunny nzb ah there it is Big Buck Bunny nzb ah there it is Big Buck Bunny nzb clients are a little more complicated clients are a little more complicated clients are a little more complicated because you need both a news server because you need both a news server because you need both a news server which kind of houses all the files and which kind of houses all the files and which kind of houses all the files and you need a indexer separately that can you need a indexer separately that can you need a indexer separately that can actually kind of locate various files actually kind of locate various files actually kind of locate various files and put them together so for example if and put them together so for example if and put them together so for example if you want to download a big bug bunny MP4 you want to download a big bug bunny MP4 you want to download a big bug bunny MP4 it might be split up in between a it might be split up in between a it might be split up in between a variety of locations in like a bunch of variety of locations in like a bunch of variety of locations in like a bunch of raw part files and then nzb get mixed raw part files and then nzb get mixed raw part files and then nzb get mixed with your indexer and new server will with your indexer and new server will with your indexer and new server will automatically download all those automatically download all those automatically download all those separate parts extract it together and separate parts extract it together and separate parts extract it together and then move it to where it needs to be and then move it to where it needs to be and then move it to where it needs to be and this right here is what nzb git looks this right here is what nzb git looks this right here is what nzb git looks like it's very similar to a torrent like it's very similar to a torrent like it's very similar to a torrent client except for in the back end it client except for in the back end it client except for in the back end it does a lot more different things and I does a lot more different things and I does a lot more different things and I like nzb get one that's written in C like nzb get one that's written in C like nzb get one that's written in C plus plus so it's a little quicker than plus plus so it's a little quicker than plus plus so it's a little quicker than the alternative and two I like just how

  8. the alternative and two I like just how the alternative and two I like just how the interface is set up we have our new the interface is set up we have our new the interface is set up we have our new servers categories RSS feeds everything servers categories RSS feeds everything servers categories RSS feeds everything we want to put in here so those are our we want to put in here so those are our we want to put in here so those are our download clients and from there I'm download clients and from there I'm download clients and from there I'm going to go over to the r Suite of going to go over to the r Suite of going to go over to the r Suite of applications some of these I'm not going applications some of these I'm not going applications some of these I'm not going to open up I'm just going to give you a to open up I'm just going to give you a to open up I'm just going to give you a brief description of at least Prowler brief description of at least Prowler brief description of at least Prowler Prowler is a place that you're going to Prowler is a place that you're going to Prowler is a place that you're going to put your indexers and then you can link put your indexers and then you can link put your indexers and then you can link up like sonar radar to prowler and it'll up like sonar radar to prowler and it'll up like sonar radar to prowler and it'll automatically pull your indexers into automatically pull your indexers into automatically pull your indexers into those two applications it's really nice those two applications it's really nice those two applications it's really nice really easy to use radar and sonar do really easy to use radar and sonar do really easy to use radar and sonar do the exact same thing this is for movies the exact same thing this is for movies the exact same thing this is for movies this is for shows now this right here is this is for shows now this right here is this is for shows now this right here is kind of the default page of radar for kind of the default page of radar for kind of the default page of radar for example what it does is you link it up example what it does is you link it up example what it does is you link it up to your media server it'll automatically to your media server it'll automatically to your media server it'll automatically pull everything in for you so for pull everything in for you so for pull everything in for you so for example here we can see some of the back example here we can see some of the back example here we can see some of the back to the Futures if I am to click on this to the Futures if I am to click on this to the Futures if I am to click on this one for example it gives you a lot of one for example it gives you a lot of one for example it gives you a lot of information about your media so we can information about your media so we can information about your media so we can see the location some information here see the location some information here see the location some information here we could go over to the cast The Crew we we could go over to the cast The Crew we we could go over to the cast The Crew we could see the files there's a search could see the files there's a search could see the files there's a search functionality what you really shouldn't functionality what you really shouldn't functionality what you really shouldn't use because you should be backing up use because you should be backing up use because you should be backing up your very own media into this and using your very own media into this and using your very own media into this and using it for things such as the preview rename it for things such as the preview rename it for things such as the preview rename this is really nice let's say you have a this is really nice let's say you have a this is really nice let's say you have a have a box set of friends and you ripped have a box set of friends and you ripped have a box set of friends and you ripped the entire box set and you don't want to the entire box set and you don't want to the entire box set and you don't want to go through and rename every single file go through and rename every single file go through and rename every single file this as long as it can kind of make out this as long as it can kind of make out this as long as it can kind of make out what the file is it will do this for you what the file is it will do this for you what the file is it will do this for you and you can set custom variables and how and you can set custom variables and how and you can set custom variables and how you want this to work for example I do you want this to work for example I do you want this to work for example I do have the quality built into the names have the quality built into the names have the quality built into the names this file doesn't have the quality so this file doesn't have the quality so this file doesn't have the quality so all I would do is Click organize and all I would do is Click organize and all I would do is Click organize and then it's said it's been completed and

  9. then it's said it's been completed and then it's said it's been completed and now for history we have the fact right now for history we have the fact right now for history we have the fact right here that it went ahead and renamed that here that it went ahead and renamed that here that it went ahead and renamed that file for us so just one of the kind of file for us so just one of the kind of file for us so just one of the kind of cool functionalities with this and then cool functionalities with this and then cool functionalities with this and then sonar here is basically the exact same sonar here is basically the exact same sonar here is basically the exact same deal but for TV shows now from there deal but for TV shows now from there deal but for TV shows now from there over C error is going to be another over C error is going to be another over C error is going to be another really cool one if we sign in here we really cool one if we sign in here we really cool one if we sign in here we sign in with our Plex account there's sign in with our Plex account there's sign in with our Plex account there's also a jelly fin alternative to this one also a jelly fin alternative to this one also a jelly fin alternative to this one that integrates with that instead of that integrates with that instead of that integrates with that instead of Plex but here we can see a lot of things Plex but here we can see a lot of things Plex but here we can see a lot of things we have our recently added we have the we have our recently added we have the we have our recently added we have the recent requests you can have like the recent requests you can have like the recent requests you can have like the people who are in your Plex instance people who are in your Plex instance people who are in your Plex instance sign into this and then find explore sign into this and then find explore sign into this and then find explore movies so if I go over here to movies movies so if I go over here to movies movies so if I go over here to movies for example this is by popularity for example this is by popularity for example this is by popularity descending so like Barbie is going to be descending so like Barbie is going to be descending so like Barbie is going to be up here Indiana Jones Elemental things up here Indiana Jones Elemental things up here Indiana Jones Elemental things like that if I wanted like the flash for like that if I wanted like the flash for like that if I wanted like the flash for example what I could do is send a example what I could do is send a example what I could do is send a request to the server administrator and request to the server administrator and request to the server administrator and then the server admin can uh go out and then the server admin can uh go out and then the server admin can uh go out and buy a DVD of it rip it and then put it buy a DVD of it rip it and then put it buy a DVD of it rip it and then put it on the server so you can kind of stream on the server so you can kind of stream on the server so you can kind of stream it in your house so without having to it in your house so without having to it in your house so without having to plug in the good old DVD player it's plug in the good old DVD player it's plug in the good old DVD player it's really cool though the amount of data really cool though the amount of data really cool though the amount of data and statistics it gives you you have and statistics it gives you you have and statistics it gives you you have like the release date Revenue budget like the release date Revenue budget like the release date Revenue budget typical like IMDb type stuff but like typical like IMDb type stuff but like typical like IMDb type stuff but like finding things is cool because like we finding things is cool because like we finding things is cool because like we could go to series for example we could could go to series for example we could could go to series for example we could go to active filters and there are a lot go to active filters and there are a lot go to active filters and there are a lot of options for example if you're of options for example if you're of options for example if you're somebody who like has Netflix but somebody who like has Netflix but somebody who like has Netflix but doesn't have Hulu and you're like I doesn't have Hulu and you're like I doesn't have Hulu and you're like I wonder what's popular on Hulu you could wonder what's popular on Hulu you could wonder what's popular on Hulu you could click that and then we can see Law and click that and then we can see Law and click that and then we can see Law and Order CIS American Dad are the popular Order CIS American Dad are the popular Order CIS American Dad are the popular things on Hulu so from there we're going

  10. things on Hulu so from there we're going things on Hulu so from there we're going to go to two more kind of media server to go to two more kind of media server to go to two more kind of media server Services one is audio bookshelf and I Services one is audio bookshelf and I Services one is audio bookshelf and I have talked about this in a whole have talked about this in a whole have talked about this in a whole dedicated video this is really cool it's dedicated video this is really cool it's dedicated video this is really cool it's basically your own version of audible if basically your own version of audible if basically your own version of audible if I go to this one right here the body I go to this one right here the body I go to this one right here the body keeps score we can see our audio track keeps score we can see our audio track keeps score we can see our audio track separated out by the chapters I could go separated out by the chapters I could go separated out by the chapters I could go back to home here uh don't judge my back to home here uh don't judge my back to home here uh don't judge my library too much I got a lot of this in library too much I got a lot of this in library too much I got a lot of this in here for free such as some of the here for free such as some of the here for free such as some of the history stuff and the libertarian mind history stuff and the libertarian mind history stuff and the libertarian mind but go to like David Goggins can't hurt but go to like David Goggins can't hurt but go to like David Goggins can't hurt me you can see chapters because this was me you can see chapters because this was me you can see chapters because this was actually one I purchased and imported actually one I purchased and imported actually one I purchased and imported from audible audible is actually kind of from audible audible is actually kind of from audible audible is actually kind of cool because it allows you to download cool because it allows you to download cool because it allows you to download the files you need to stream these on the files you need to stream these on the files you need to stream these on your own servers so it's kind of a your own servers so it's kind of a your own servers so it's kind of a benefit in that regard but audio benefit in that regard but audio benefit in that regard but audio bookshelf super cool service I use it bookshelf super cool service I use it bookshelf super cool service I use it quite a bit and if you want to go a quite a bit and if you want to go a quite a bit and if you want to go a little more old school you don't want to little more old school you don't want to little more old school you don't want to listen to a book you want to read a book listen to a book you want to read a book listen to a book you want to read a book this right here is what I'm currently this right here is what I'm currently this right here is what I'm currently using you can see the actual books I using you can see the actual books I using you can see the actual books I have in here I have some textbooks have in here I have some textbooks have in here I have some textbooks Cadillac desert was a textbook for one Cadillac desert was a textbook for one Cadillac desert was a textbook for one of my classes I'm reading walkable City of my classes I'm reading walkable City of my classes I'm reading walkable City at the moment and this is nice if I open at the moment and this is nice if I open at the moment and this is nice if I open up walkable City we could read it as is up walkable City we could read it as is up walkable City we could read it as is or if I click on this for example we or if I click on this for example we or if I click on this for example we have a bunch of different options to have a bunch of different options to have a bunch of different options to customize it to be uh visually how we'd customize it to be uh visually how we'd customize it to be uh visually how we'd prefer it from font size the actual line prefer it from font size the actual line prefer it from font size the actual line spacing the margin so you can make it spacing the margin so you can make it spacing the margin so you can make it substantially skinnier if you'd like to substantially skinnier if you'd like to substantially skinnier if you'd like to and then we have some other reader and then we have some other reader and then we have some other reader settings that may be helpful and then settings that may be helpful and then settings that may be helpful and then color theming so really cool nice little color theming so really cool nice little color theming so really cool nice little reading tool something I would reading tool something I would reading tool something I would definitely recommend if you have some

  11. definitely recommend if you have some definitely recommend if you have some sort of e-look Library the alternative sort of e-look Library the alternative sort of e-look Library the alternative

I'm with it but it seems super cool and I'm with it but it seems super cool and I'm going to be using it more and more as I going to be using it more and more as I going to be using it more and more as I learn it it is a meal kind of learn it it is a meal kind of learn it it is a meal kind of aggregation tool that allows you to pull aggregation tool that allows you to pull aggregation tool that allows you to pull recipes from sources on the internet for

  12. recipes from sources on the internet for recipes from sources on the internet for example here I have some roasted example here I have some roasted example here I have some roasted broccoli soup it has all the steps the broccoli soup it has all the steps the broccoli soup it has all the steps the ingredients and overall it works really ingredients and overall it works really ingredients and overall it works really good if I go to the original URL it's good if I go to the original URL it's good if I go to the original URL it's going to open up all recipes and this is going to open up all recipes and this is going to open up all recipes and this is where I pulled it from and there's like where I pulled it from and there's like where I pulled it from and there's like ads and everything on this it's not a ads and everything on this it's not a ads and everything on this it's not a very fun experience just an example if I very fun experience just an example if I very fun experience just an example if I go to salads here and I wanted to make go to salads here and I wanted to make go to salads here and I wanted to make oh this looks really good let's say I oh this looks really good let's say I oh this looks really good let's say I wanted this recipe right here I would wanted this recipe right here I would wanted this recipe right here I would grab the URL go back to my kind of grab the URL go back to my kind of grab the URL go back to my kind of self-hosted instance click on create self-hosted instance click on create self-hosted instance click on create import recipe by URL paste it in Click import recipe by URL paste it in Click import recipe by URL paste it in Click create and in a matter of a second or create and in a matter of a second or create and in a matter of a second or two boom there we go and of course you two boom there we go and of course you two boom there we go and of course you don't have to just input you could don't have to just input you could don't have to just input you could create your own recipes manually there's create your own recipes manually there's create your own recipes manually there's cookbooks tags categories timeline they cookbooks tags categories timeline they cookbooks tags categories timeline they have shopping lists which you can make have shopping lists which you can make have shopping lists which you can make based on recipes you want to cook out of based on recipes you want to cook out of based on recipes you want to cook out of a meal planner a bunch of different a meal planner a bunch of different a meal planner a bunch of different stuff I haven't explored as much as I stuff I haven't explored as much as I stuff I haven't explored as much as I would like to but it's something I've would like to but it's something I've would like to but it's something I've started as I said getting more and more started as I said getting more and more started as I said getting more and more into from there we have Tesla made I into from there we have Tesla made I into from there we have Tesla made I currently have a model 3 got a pretty currently have a model 3 got a pretty currently have a model 3 got a pretty good deal after like the tax credit and good deal after like the tax credit and good deal after like the tax credit and all that I'm gonna have to be really all that I'm gonna have to be really all that I'm gonna have to be really touchy because I'm not trying to show touchy because I'm not trying to show touchy because I'm not trying to show you guys exactly where I am but here we you guys exactly where I am but here we you guys exactly where I am but here we have a little map gives you my Tesla the have a little map gives you my Tesla the have a little map gives you my Tesla the status the range a bunch of different status the range a bunch of different status the range a bunch of different data but where it gets real crazy is if data but where it gets real crazy is if data but where it gets real crazy is if we go over here into dashboards we have we go over here into dashboards we have we go over here into dashboards we have a atomically large amount of Statistics a atomically large amount of Statistics a atomically large amount of Statistics if I go to statistics this opens up a if I go to statistics this opens up a if I go to statistics this opens up a grafana dashboard now here we can see grafana dashboard now here we can see grafana dashboard now here we can see just on this little dashboard here we

  13. just on this little dashboard here we just on this little dashboard here we have this month if I go to this month have this month if I go to this month have this month if I go to this month you could see a whole heck of a lot we you could see a whole heck of a lot we you could see a whole heck of a lot we have a map of everywhere I've traveled have a map of everywhere I've traveled have a map of everywhere I've traveled we have the distance the net internet we have the distance the net internet we have the distance the net internet you we have the distance the net you we have the distance the net you we have the distance the net electricity usage the charging versus electricity usage the charging versus electricity usage the charging versus driving time down here we have links to driving time down here we have links to driving time down here we have links to very specific drives so I opened up this very specific drives so I opened up this very specific drives so I opened up this drive here this doesn't really have any drive here this doesn't really have any drive here this doesn't really have any sensitive information this is a drive sensitive information this is a drive sensitive information this is a drive from a rec center to KFC and we can see from a rec center to KFC and we can see from a rec center to KFC and we can see here just say absolutely comically a here just say absolutely comically a here just say absolutely comically a ridiculous amount of data specific ridiculous amount of data specific ridiculous amount of data specific distance energy used in this chart we distance energy used in this chart we distance energy used in this chart we have speed power battery heater range have speed power battery heater range have speed power battery heater range rated and estimate we have tire pressure rated and estimate we have tire pressure rated and estimate we have tire pressure if we go here we have the elevation if we go here we have the elevation if we go here we have the elevation changes in this specific drive and as we changes in this specific drive and as we changes in this specific drive and as we kind of Chase or Trace through this kind of Chase or Trace through this kind of Chase or Trace through this chart you could see the exact location chart you could see the exact location chart you could see the exact location on when the data is collected and if I on when the data is collected and if I on when the data is collected and if I go down I can see like temperatures and go down I can see like temperatures and go down I can see like temperatures and things just an absolute comical amount things just an absolute comical amount things just an absolute comical amount of stuff there are like other of stuff there are like other of stuff there are like other third-party applications for this but third-party applications for this but third-party applications for this but the problem with those in my opinion is the problem with those in my opinion is the problem with those in my opinion is then you're just uploading all your like then you're just uploading all your like then you're just uploading all your like very specific travel data into some very specific travel data into some very specific travel data into some third-party server somewhere this third-party server somewhere this third-party server somewhere this frankly is completely unnecessary but frankly is completely unnecessary but frankly is completely unnecessary but it's pretty cool it's on my server so it's pretty cool it's on my server so it's pretty cool it's on my server so I'm way more comfortable kind of having I'm way more comfortable kind of having I'm way more comfortable kind of having something collect all this granted the something collect all this granted the something collect all this granted the Tesla and Tesla themselves are probably Tesla and Tesla themselves are probably Tesla and Tesla themselves are probably collecting it themselves anyways but you collecting it themselves anyways but you collecting it themselves anyways but you win some you lose some and just a little win some you lose some and just a little win some you lose some and just a little overview these are all the different overview these are all the different overview these are all the different charts we have stata statistics timeline charts we have stata statistics timeline charts we have stata statistics timeline this is in grafana which is beautiful as this is in grafana which is beautiful as this is in grafana which is beautiful as you saw Drive status Drive sufficiency

  14. you saw Drive status Drive sufficiency you saw Drive status Drive sufficiency locations status right here which this locations status right here which this locations status right here which this is cool it gives you a overview of when is cool it gives you a overview of when is cool it gives you a overview of when you were charging when you're online you were charging when you're online you were charging when you're online when you're actually driving in these when you're actually driving in these when you're actually driving in these brief little blips of purple I have it brief little blips of purple I have it brief little blips of purple I have it parked 90 97 of the time so far just parked 90 97 of the time so far just parked 90 97 of the time so far just just some really cool stuff here and just some really cool stuff here and just some really cool stuff here and something I literally installed to date something I literally installed to date something I literally installed to date this right here is Chasm do note there this right here is Chasm do note there this right here is Chasm do note there might be a little bit of bias they're might be a little bit of bias they're might be a little bit of bias they're going to be sponsoring a video in the going to be sponsoring a video in the going to be sponsoring a video in the future so so just keep note of that if future so so just keep note of that if future so so just keep note of that if we go over to workspaces I have a fedora we go over to workspaces I have a fedora we go over to workspaces I have a fedora 38 desktop as well as Tor Browser this 38 desktop as well as Tor Browser this 38 desktop as well as Tor Browser this is all running in Docker containers so is all running in Docker containers so is all running in Docker containers so for example if I'm uh to open Fedora 38 for example if I'm uh to open Fedora 38 for example if I'm uh to open Fedora 38 I want to open it up in the current tab I want to open it up in the current tab I want to open it up in the current tab let's launch a session let's launch a session let's launch a session this is cool because I'm probably going this is cool because I'm probably going this is cool because I'm probably going to be replacing what I currently do to be replacing what I currently do to be replacing what I currently do which is a Synology VM for this when it which is a Synology VM for this when it which is a Synology VM for this when it comes to externally connecting to my comes to externally connecting to my comes to externally connecting to my home network so we have chromium Sublime home network so we have chromium Sublime home network so we have chromium Sublime Text only office buyer Fox bunch of Text only office buyer Fox bunch of Text only office buyer Fox bunch of different stuff and it's pretty quick different stuff and it's pretty quick different stuff and it's pretty quick whoa allow let's open up chromium you whoa allow let's open up chromium you whoa allow let's open up chromium you can see it is very Snappy and for I can see it is very Snappy and for I can see it is very Snappy and for I think it's VLC or vcl running this it is think it's VLC or vcl running this it is think it's VLC or vcl running this it is very smooth and it works really good for very smooth and it works really good for very smooth and it works really good for example Gip is kind of a beefier example Gip is kind of a beefier example Gip is kind of a beefier application if we open that up you can application if we open that up you can application if we open that up you can see it really didn't take long at all see it really didn't take long at all see it really didn't take long at all whole remote desktop kind of built-in whole remote desktop kind of built-in whole remote desktop kind of built-in Docker container is really easy to spin Docker container is really easy to spin Docker container is really easy to spin up and you can see here if I go back up and you can see here if I go back up and you can see here if I go back this is the current instance I have up this is the current instance I have up this is the current instance I have up it expires in the 59 minutes so it expires in the 59 minutes so it expires in the 59 minutes so automatically delete and close that automatically delete and close that automatically delete and close that instance so adds a bunch of security of instance so adds a bunch of security of instance so adds a bunch of security of course you could change that you could course you could change that you could course you could change that you could keep them up for custom amounts of time keep them up for custom amounts of time keep them up for custom amounts of time and whatnot if I'm to go over to admin

  15. and whatnot if I'm to go over to admin and whatnot if I'm to go over to admin you can set up a whole bunch of these if you can set up a whole bunch of these if you can set up a whole bunch of these if you want to let's go to workspaces you want to let's go to workspaces you want to let's go to workspaces workspaces and if I want to workspaces and if I want to workspaces and if I want to go to the workspace registry this is the go to the workspace registry this is the go to the workspace registry this is the default registry that they have default registry that they have default registry that they have available Rocky Linux parrot OS we have available Rocky Linux parrot OS we have available Rocky Linux parrot OS we have only office filezilla Doom so if I only office filezilla Doom so if I only office filezilla Doom so if I open Doom just click install it's a open Doom just click install it's a open Doom just click install it's a fairly quick process so if I go fairly quick process so if I go fairly quick process so if I go installed workspaces and just kind of installed workspaces and just kind of installed workspaces and just kind of let that do its thing for a minute hey let that do its thing for a minute hey let that do its thing for a minute hey there we go so let's go back over to our there we go so let's go back over to our there we go so let's go back over to our workspaces and if I'm to open up Doom in workspaces and if I'm to open up Doom in workspaces and if I'm to open up Doom in the current actually let's do this in a the current actually let's do this in a the current actually let's do this in a new tab launch session there we go we new tab launch session there we go we new tab launch session there we go we have over here a little dashboard of have over here a little dashboard of have over here a little dashboard of everything that we have access to and everything that we have access to and everything that we have access to and fail you all get the point it's pretty cool you all get the point it's pretty cool also retro Arch is an option so I think also retro Arch is an option so I think also retro Arch is an option so I think I'd be able to get like n60 or SNES I'd be able to get like n60 or SNES I'd be able to get like n60 or SNES games and stuff working so that's games and stuff working so that's games and stuff working so that's basically it when it comes to the basically it when it comes to the basically it when it comes to the standard like kind of Doc container standard like kind of Doc container standard like kind of Doc container applications we have all the other stuff applications we have all the other stuff applications we have all the other stuff is mostly Network infrastructure in the is mostly Network infrastructure in the is mostly Network infrastructure in the actual dashboards for our Nas units I actual dashboards for our Nas units I actual dashboards for our Nas units I have the Synology machine and unread have the Synology machine and unread have the Synology machine and unread machine and a Intel Nook running this machine and a Intel Nook running this machine and a Intel Nook running this protainer I've talked about unread quite protainer I've talked about unread quite protainer I've talked about unread quite a bit in the past that is my favorite a bit in the past that is my favorite a bit in the past that is my favorite bar none software that you could put on bar none software that you could put on bar none software that you could put on just about anything it's really easy to just about anything it's really easy to just about anything it's really easy to manage your various shares we have our manage your various shares we have our manage your various shares we have our dashboard here where we can see our dashboard here where we can see our dashboard here where we can see our shares our statistics all the docker shares our statistics all the docker shares our statistics all the docker containers that I have running there I containers that I have running there I containers that I have running there I really like how unray does it if you go really like how unray does it if you go really like how unray does it if you go under apps they're really mostly just

  16. under apps they're really mostly just under apps they're really mostly just Docker containers you could pull them Docker containers you could pull them Docker containers you could pull them through here if I'm to install something through here if I'm to install something through here if I'm to install something such as a super meteors I'm not actually such as a super meteors I'm not actually such as a super meteors I'm not actually going to install it just show you that going to install it just show you that going to install it just show you that it's for the most part standard Docker it's for the most part standard Docker it's for the most part standard Docker kind of settings that you can set that kind of settings that you can set that kind of settings that you can set that up and then everything is over here up and then everything is over here up and then everything is over here really easy just to update everything really easy just to update everything really easy just to update everything through here if you want to overall I through here if you want to overall I through here if you want to overall I love unread if I'm to pick one thing to love unread if I'm to pick one thing to love unread if I'm to pick one thing to run every day versus serenology and kind run every day versus serenology and kind run every day versus serenology and kind of the kind of default Ubuntu Server of the kind of default Ubuntu Server of the kind of default Ubuntu Server protein or instance I have up it would protein or instance I have up it would protein or instance I have up it would definitely be unraid now with that I did definitely be unraid now with that I did definitely be unraid now with that I did mention I have a Synology Nas basically mention I have a Synology Nas basically mention I have a Synology Nas basically none of the docker containers or none of the docker containers or none of the docker containers or anything like that are running through anything like that are running through anything like that are running through it this primarily is just a file backup it this primarily is just a file backup it this primarily is just a file backup server mostly chronology photos I have a server mostly chronology photos I have a server mostly chronology photos I have a lot of my like phone pictures lot of my like phone pictures lot of my like phone pictures automatically synced to it through automatically synced to it through automatically synced to it through Synology photos this runs my Synology photos this runs my Synology photos this runs my surveillance system which is just like surveillance system which is just like surveillance system which is just like three cameras set up right now I did use three cameras set up right now I did use three cameras set up right now I did use the virtual machine manager quite a bit the virtual machine manager quite a bit the virtual machine manager quite a bit you can see I have a Windows 10 virtual you can see I have a Windows 10 virtual you can see I have a Windows 10 virtual machine which is what I used to kind of machine which is what I used to kind of machine which is what I used to kind of connect to my home network externally I connect to my home network externally I connect to my home network externally I would log into this dashboard and use would log into this dashboard and use would log into this dashboard and use that virtual machine and run Windows as that virtual machine and run Windows as that virtual machine and run Windows as if I'm in my home network that's kind of if I'm in my home network that's kind of if I'm in my home network that's kind of my use case for that over here you see my use case for that over here you see my use case for that over here you see little Cloud check I have cloud sink I little Cloud check I have cloud sink I little Cloud check I have cloud sink I have a like video project archive in have a like video project archive in have a like video project archive in Google Drive when I move things to the Google Drive when I move things to the Google Drive when I move things to the archive it will automatically download archive it will automatically download archive it will automatically download into this server so some pretty cool into this server so some pretty cool into this server so some pretty cool synchronization features in that regard synchronization features in that regard synchronization features in that regard additionally I don't have a very complex additionally I don't have a very complex additionally I don't have a very complex like reverse proxy setup I'm just using

  17. like reverse proxy setup I'm just using like reverse proxy setup I'm just using the integrated kind of ddens system the integrated kind of ddens system the integrated kind of ddens system which will uh IP addresses change here which will uh IP addresses change here which will uh IP addresses change here and there so there's software built into and there so there's software built into and there so there's software built into this that will kind of recognize when this that will kind of recognize when this that will kind of recognize when your IP address changes and then update your IP address changes and then update your IP address changes and then update an a record automatically to change the an a record automatically to change the an a record automatically to change the IP address on the actual domain you use IP address on the actual domain you use IP address on the actual domain you use I believe that's under I believe that's under I believe that's under external access yeah right here we have external access yeah right here we have external access yeah right here we have ddns cloudflare is custom I'm probably ddns cloudflare is custom I'm probably ddns cloudflare is custom I'm probably not going to end up using that and then not going to end up using that and then not going to end up using that and then the integrated Synology one is really the integrated Synology one is really the integrated Synology one is really nice and with that if I go to control nice and with that if I go to control nice and with that if I go to control panel login portal Advanced reverse panel login portal Advanced reverse panel login portal Advanced reverse proxy is hidden in here and here you can proxy is hidden in here and here you can proxy is hidden in here and here you can see DSM Plex op audio bookshelf and see DSM Plex op audio bookshelf and see DSM Plex op audio bookshelf and overseer I all have set up through overseer I all have set up through overseer I all have set up through reverse proxy this uses um I believe reverse proxy this uses um I believe reverse proxy this uses um I believe cert bot so everything has a SSL cert bot so everything has a SSL cert bot so everything has a SSL certificate so just very nice really certificate so just very nice really certificate so just very nice really easy to use system I'm not in like a easy to use system I'm not in like a easy to use system I'm not in like a network administrator right my skill network administrator right my skill network administrator right my skill levels limited when it comes to that and levels limited when it comes to that and levels limited when it comes to that and just really easy to set up for my just really easy to set up for my just really easy to set up for my firewall and all that I just use a firewall and all that I just use a firewall and all that I just use a Synology router it is linked up they Synology router it is linked up they Synology router it is linked up they kind of integrate together really well kind of integrate together really well kind of integrate together really well it's simple it's not complex it's not it's simple it's not complex it's not it's simple it's not complex it's not even worth diving into I do have even worth diving into I do have even worth diving into I do have CenturyLink like I said so I'm using a CenturyLink like I said so I'm using a CenturyLink like I said so I'm using a pppoe or something like that so I don't pppoe or something like that so I don't pppoe or something like that so I don't have a separate like modem and router have a separate like modem and router have a separate like modem and router just kind of all in one really nice just kind of all in one really nice just kind of all in one really nice setup and then last but not least we setup and then last but not least we setup and then last but not least we have protainer which I did dive into a have protainer which I did dive into a have protainer which I did dive into a little bit earlier but now since I little bit earlier but now since I little bit earlier but now since I opened up an instance you could kind of opened up an instance you could kind of opened up an instance you could kind of see the cavana these two right here this

  18. see the cavana these two right here this see the cavana these two right here this one's doom and this one's Fedora they one's doom and this one's Fedora they one's doom and this one's Fedora they will automatically delete after 60 will automatically delete after 60 will automatically delete after 60 Minutes as I currently have it set up so Minutes as I currently have it set up so Minutes as I currently have it set up so that's nice and you can see all the that's nice and you can see all the that's nice and you can see all the other containers I have running through other containers I have running through other containers I have running through here protainer is almost a must on any here protainer is almost a must on any here protainer is almost a must on any system that you have Docker installed system that you have Docker installed system that you have Docker installed it's just way easier to use than it's just way easier to use than it's just way easier to use than something like rancher in my opinion I something like rancher in my opinion I something like rancher in my opinion I don't understand kubernetes but this for don't understand kubernetes but this for don't understand kubernetes but this for just spinning up like basic Stacks so just spinning up like basic Stacks so just spinning up like basic Stacks so you could see some of the stacks where I you could see some of the stacks where I you could see some of the stacks where I have here so if we go to my Tesla mate have here so if we go to my Tesla mate have here so if we go to my Tesla mate stack which I'm going to end up having stack which I'm going to end up having stack which I'm going to end up having to blur a lot of it out you can see here to blur a lot of it out you can see here to blur a lot of it out you can see here we have services and all the different we have services and all the different we have services and all the different containers that all kind of integrate containers that all kind of integrate containers that all kind of integrate and just are connected to each other and just are connected to each other and just are connected to each other really nice stuff and that is basically really nice stuff and that is basically really nice stuff and that is basically my entire home lab setup at least when my entire home lab setup at least when my entire home lab setup at least when it comes to the software side of things it comes to the software side of things it comes to the software side of things down below I'll link to a vast majority down below I'll link to a vast majority down below I'll link to a vast majority of everything that I talked about of everything that I talked about of everything that I talked about including that deal on private internet including that deal on private internet including that deal on private internet access if you are setting up a lot of access if you are setting up a lot of access if you are setting up a lot of this stuff you are going to want a VPN this stuff you are going to want a VPN this stuff you are going to want a VPN and that is definitely the one I and that is definitely the one I and that is definitely the one I recommend and have been using for years recommend and have been using for years recommend and have been using for years now with all that I do hope you have an now with all that I do hope you have an now with all that I do hope you have an absolutely beautiful day have fun absolutely beautiful day have fun absolutely beautiful day have fun setting up your home lab it is setting up your home lab it is setting up your home lab it is definitely addicting and fun you don't definitely addicting and fun you don't definitely addicting and fun you don't really need anything more than like a really need anything more than like a really need anything more than like a little zimmabort a little mini PC to get little zimmabort a little mini PC to get little zimmabort a little mini PC to get started even an old laptop or desktop started even an old laptop or desktop started even an old laptop or desktop you could probably find on like Facebook you could probably find on like Facebook you could probably find on like Facebook market for 100 bucks get an old like market for 100 bucks get an old like market for 100 bucks get an old like think station or something like that think station or something like that think station or something like that it's fun it's worth it try it out I do it's fun it's worth it try it out I do it's fun it's worth it try it out I do recommend an Intel machine for getting recommend an Intel machine for getting recommend an Intel machine for getting started especially for like Plex started especially for like Plex started especially for like Plex Hardware encoding but even that's not Hardware encoding but even that's not Hardware encoding but even that's not necessarily necessary because if you

  19. necessarily necessary because if you necessarily necessary because if you have the right formats you don't need to have the right formats you don't need to have the right formats you don't need to have Hardware encoding I can keep have Hardware encoding I can keep have Hardware encoding I can keep rambling on forever I'm going to myself rambling on forever I'm going to myself rambling on forever I'm going to myself off and wish you a beautiful day and off and wish you a beautiful day and off and wish you a beautiful day and goodbye
