  1. it has been over a year since I've done it has been over a year since I've done an updated video on my current home lab an updated video on my current home lab an updated video on my current home lab setup and oh boy has there been a lot of setup and oh boy has there been a lot of setup and oh boy has there been a lot of changes like last time all the way down changes like last time all the way down changes like last time all the way down to the dashboard here before I was using to the dashboard here before I was using to the dashboard here before I was using heimall then I switched to home R for a heimall then I switched to home R for a heimall then I switched to home R for a little bit which is still fantastic but little bit which is still fantastic but little bit which is still fantastic but right now I am using glance so in this right now I am using glance so in this right now I am using glance so in this video what we're going to do is overview video what we're going to do is overview video what we're going to do is overview all the services I'm currently running all the services I'm currently running all the services I'm currently running many of them I believe to be must have many of them I believe to be must have many of them I believe to be must have services that you should be running on services that you should be running on services that you should be running on your home server and then at the end your home server and then at the end your home server and then at the end we're going to go over kind of how I we're going to go over kind of how I we're going to go over kind of how I have everything set up and organized a have everything set up and organized a have everything set up and organized a vast majority of the things I have vast majority of the things I have vast majority of the things I have running here can be easily spun up with running here can be easily spun up with running here can be easily spun up with a simple Docker container or even a a simple Docker container or even a a simple Docker container or even a simple like proxmox helper script and simple like proxmox helper script and simple like proxmox helper script and the beautiful thing is I don't really the beautiful thing is I don't really the beautiful thing is I don't really have anything too complex probably about have anything too complex probably about have anything too complex probably about 90% of everything I'm running is just 90% of everything I'm running is just 90% of everything I'm running is just nice simple front-end web applications nice simple front-end web applications nice simple front-end web applications that your sell for anybody in your house that your sell for anybody in your house that your sell for anybody in your house can access now this video is sponsored can access now this video is sponsored can access now this video is sponsored by twin gate but I'm going to talk about by twin gate but I'm going to talk about by twin gate but I'm going to talk about that in a little bit more detail when I that in a little bit more detail when I that in a little bit more detail when I get to where it actually is in my home get to where it actually is in my home get to where it actually is in my home lab but simply put real quick it is a lab but simply put real quick it is a lab but simply put real quick it is a wonderful tool that you can use to wonderful tool that you can use to wonderful tool that you can use to remotely Connect into your home server remotely Connect into your home server remotely Connect into your home server and access any of the applications or and access any of the applications or and access any of the applications or tools that we're going to be talking tools that we're going to be talking tools that we're going to be talking about in this video remotely it's done about in this video remotely it's done about in this video remotely it's done by spinning up a connector on your home by spinning up a connector on your home by spinning up a connector on your home network using a client on either any network using a client on either any network using a client on either any type of computer mobile phone whatever type of computer mobile phone whatever type of computer mobile phone whatever to connect to your home network and then to connect to your home network and then to connect to your home network and then you can access it as if you're on your you can access it as if you're on your you can access it as if you're on your home network whether that be logging home network whether that be logging home network whether that be logging into IP addresses using the terminal so into IP addresses using the terminal so into IP addresses using the terminal so on and so forth it is completely free on and so forth it is completely free on and so forth it is completely free for up to five users and you could give

  2. for up to five users and you could give for up to five users and you could give specific users various groups access to specific users various groups access to specific users various groups access to certain ports and resources it's really certain ports and resources it's really certain ports and resources it's really customizable and it's what I use check customizable and it's what I use check customizable and it's what I use check out the link down below if you are out the link down below if you are out the link down below if you are interested so first like I said we're interested so first like I said we're interested so first like I said we're going to start with glance the current going to start with glance the current going to start with glance the current dashboard that I'm using it is great I dashboard that I'm using it is great I dashboard that I'm using it is great I love using dashboards because it just love using dashboards because it just love using dashboards because it just kind of gives a nice clear interface of kind of gives a nice clear interface of kind of gives a nice clear interface of everything especially if you have everything especially if you have everything especially if you have multiple devices with multiple services multiple devices with multiple services multiple devices with multiple services on it just kind of puts everything on it just kind of puts everything on it just kind of puts everything together easy access to everything with together easy access to everything with together easy access to everything with this one there are some simple features this one there are some simple features this one there are some simple features compared to something like hom R which compared to something like hom R which compared to something like hom R which is a lot more featur to be honest but is a lot more featur to be honest but is a lot more featur to be honest but this basically has everything that I this basically has everything that I this basically has everything that I want and need including right here under want and need including right here under want and need including right here under Services you can see I got the green Services you can see I got the green Services you can see I got the green checks so are sometimes not a green checks so are sometimes not a green checks so are sometimes not a green check which is just a simple monitoring check which is just a simple monitoring check which is just a simple monitoring is it offline is it online kind of thing is it offline is it online kind of thing is it offline is it online kind of thing we have DNS stats which it links up to we have DNS stats which it links up to we have DNS stats which it links up to py Hole so I can see how much percent of py Hole so I can see how much percent of py Hole so I can see how much percent of DNS traffic is being blocked by that DNS traffic is being blocked by that DNS traffic is being blocked by that service and then I have some other service and then I have some other service and then I have some other widgets here I'm not going to dive into widgets here I'm not going to dive into widgets here I'm not going to dive into everything I have a whole separate video everything I have a whole separate video everything I have a whole separate video on this if I go over to home this is on this if I go over to home this is on this if I go over to home this is kind of like a dare I say glance of kind kind of like a dare I say glance of kind kind of like a dare I say glance of kind of everything I care about we got some of everything I care about we got some of everything I care about we got some linked to news we got the uh videos that linked to news we got the uh videos that linked to news we got the uh videos that I'm subscribed to here some Reddit stuff I'm subscribed to here some Reddit stuff I'm subscribed to here some Reddit stuff some releases of applications some some releases of applications some some releases of applications some markets it's a really nice tool and markets it's a really nice tool and markets it's a really nice tool and personally my favorite thing about it is personally my favorite thing about it is personally my favorite thing about it is it's configured really easily with just it's configured really easily with just it's configured really easily with just a simple single yaml file so that a simple single yaml file so that a simple single yaml file so that configuration file is really easy just configuration file is really easy just configuration file is really easy just to grab save and take around wherever I to grab save and take around wherever I to grab save and take around wherever I may be screwing around now for the rest may be screwing around now for the rest may be screwing around now for the rest of this video I'm going to kind of go in of this video I'm going to kind of go in of this video I'm going to kind of go in categories here if I bring this in this categories here if I bring this in this categories here if I bring this in this is my website I do have a full kind of is my website I do have a full kind of is my website I do have a full kind of written version of this video if you're

  3. written version of this video if you're written version of this video if you're interested in checking that out I am interested in checking that out I am interested in checking that out I am going to go slightly out of order than going to go slightly out of order than going to go slightly out of order than what is on the website and for that we what is on the website and for that we what is on the website and for that we are going to start with some of my uh are going to start with some of my uh are going to start with some of my uh how I remote connect to things my VPN how I remote connect to things my VPN how I remote connect to things my VPN and my proxy now you'll notice here this and my proxy now you'll notice here this and my proxy now you'll notice here this isn't an IP address this is start hop. isn't an IP address this is start hop. isn't an IP address this is start hop. net and that is because I'm using engine net and that is because I'm using engine net and that is because I'm using engine X proxy manager to go ahead and run all X proxy manager to go ahead and run all X proxy manager to go ahead and run all this you can see here I have 29 this you can see here I have 29 this you can see here I have 29 different proxy hosts and this is just different proxy hosts and this is just different proxy hosts and this is just kind of a front-end web gooey for kind of a front-end web gooey for kind of a front-end web gooey for enginex that gives me really easy enginex that gives me really easy enginex that gives me really easy ability to add uh domains whether that ability to add uh domains whether that ability to add uh domains whether that be a local top level domain or even be a local top level domain or even be a local top level domain or even external domains to specific IPS and external domains to specific IPS and external domains to specific IPS and ports on my network so for example jelly ports on my network so for example jelly ports on my network so for example jelly fin here this is the IP it's on at this fin here this is the IP it's on at this fin here this is the IP it's on at this port and instead of having to go to this port and instead of having to go to this port and instead of having to go to this I just go to Jelly fin. hop. net if I I just go to Jelly fin. hop. net if I I just go to Jelly fin. hop. net if I click on it you can see that is in fact click on it you can see that is in fact click on it you can see that is in fact the case for these kind of local domains the case for these kind of local domains the case for these kind of local domains that I have set up they all have SSL that I have set up they all have SSL that I have set up they all have SSL certificates so I don't get that kind of certificates so I don't get that kind of certificates so I don't get that kind of annoying message saying hey the s's not annoying message saying hey the s's not annoying message saying hey the s's not secure it is it's my site added some secure it is it's my site added some secure it is it's my site added some certificates anyway just to kind of get certificates anyway just to kind of get certificates anyway just to kind of get rid of that and it makes it really easy rid of that and it makes it really easy rid of that and it makes it really easy and organized for me so instead of and organized for me so instead of and organized for me so instead of having to remember all these ports and having to remember all these ports and having to remember all these ports and everything I just need to remember the everything I just need to remember the everything I just need to remember the actual domains here if I'm not going to actual domains here if I'm not going to actual domains here if I'm not going to be um using my dashboard for whatever be um using my dashboard for whatever be um using my dashboard for whatever reason and then from there if I bring reason and then from there if I bring reason and then from there if I bring this up I do have a Raspberry Pi 5 in my this up I do have a Raspberry Pi 5 in my this up I do have a Raspberry Pi 5 in my little Network rack there this one's little Network rack there this one's little Network rack there this one's powered by Poe it's really nice it's powered by Poe it's really nice it's powered by Poe it's really nice it's always online and this is where I have always online and this is where I have always online and this is where I have my twin gate connect Conor installed so my twin gate connect Conor installed so my twin gate connect Conor installed so I use it to remote connect as well as a I use it to remote connect as well as a I use it to remote connect as well as a uh a ddns client this is a little Docker

  4. uh a ddns client this is a little Docker uh a ddns client this is a little Docker stack that I have on this pie I'm going stack that I have on this pie I'm going stack that I have on this pie I'm going to have to blur out some of this here to have to blur out some of this here to have to blur out some of this here but this one right here is the but this one right here is the but this one right here is the cloudflare ddns this just means Dynamic cloudflare ddns this just means Dynamic cloudflare ddns this just means Dynamic domain name service my IP address my domain name service my IP address my domain name service my IP address my public IP address is dynamic meaning my public IP address is dynamic meaning my public IP address is dynamic meaning my network uh my internet service provider network uh my internet service provider network uh my internet service provider will automatically change it every will automatically change it every will automatically change it every couple days sometimes every couple weeks couple days sometimes every couple weeks couple days sometimes every couple weeks and when that happens this kind of scans and when that happens this kind of scans and when that happens this kind of scans it's just like what's my IP what's my IP it's just like what's my IP what's my IP it's just like what's my IP what's my IP every so often and if it detects a every so often and if it detects a every so often and if it detects a change it's going to report to Cloud change it's going to report to Cloud change it's going to report to Cloud flare with the API token and then update flare with the API token and then update flare with the API token and then update the a records on these domains very the a records on these domains very the a records on these domains very helpful if that's a situation you happen helpful if that's a situation you happen helpful if that's a situation you happen to be in and then right here of course to be in and then right here of course to be in and then right here of course is the twin gate connector this just is the twin gate connector this just is the twin gate connector this just runs and when I connect remotely it uses runs and when I connect remotely it uses runs and when I connect remotely it uses this connector to make that encrypt this connector to make that encrypt this connector to make that encrypt peer-to-peer connection so let's say peer-to-peer connection so let's say peer-to-peer connection so let's say theoretically I am on vacation and for theoretically I am on vacation and for theoretically I am on vacation and for some reason I have the itch to log into some reason I have the itch to log into some reason I have the itch to log into a machine on my local network and update a machine on my local network and update a machine on my local network and update a server so all I do fire up the twin a server so all I do fire up the twin a server so all I do fire up the twin gate app you could see some of the gate app you could see some of the gate app you could see some of the resources there I have available to me resources there I have available to me resources there I have available to me and with me being logged in and the and with me being logged in and the and with me being logged in and the active connection I can simply just go active connection I can simply just go active connection I can simply just go over to a terminal client log into one over to a terminal client log into one over to a terminal client log into one of my hosts which is on a local IP of my hosts which is on a local IP of my hosts which is on a local IP address you can see there I'm not address you can see there I'm not address you can see there I'm not connected to Wi-Fi or anything like that connected to Wi-Fi or anything like that connected to Wi-Fi or anything like that give that just a minute to connect and give that just a minute to connect and give that just a minute to connect and then just like that I am on my machine then just like that I am on my machine then just like that I am on my machine as if I'm in my home network little as if I'm in my home network little as if I'm in my home network little password action hit enter and just like password action hit enter and just like password action hit enter and just like that I'm doing some CIS admin that I'm doing some CIS admin that I'm doing some CIS admin maintenance on vacation another really maintenance on vacation another really maintenance on vacation another really cool thing about it is there's aliases cool thing about it is there's aliases cool thing about it is there's aliases so you see my proxy there that's just so you see my proxy there that's just so you see my proxy there that's just the machine that's running enginex proxy the machine that's running enginex proxy the machine that's running enginex proxy manager that I set up an alias for hop.

  5. manager that I set up an alias for hop. manager that I set up an alias for hop. net which is already set up on the proxy net which is already set up on the proxy net which is already set up on the proxy so again not connected to my Wi-Fi I so again not connected to my Wi-Fi I so again not connected to my Wi-Fi I could go to a local service such as r. could go to a local service such as r. could go to a local service such as r. hop. net and log in and manage things hop. net and log in and manage things hop. net and log in and manage things through a web gooey if you didn't know through a web gooey if you didn't know through a web gooey if you didn't know my home lab I'm trying to keep it up to my home lab I'm trying to keep it up to my home lab I'm trying to keep it up to date as possible but I have a whole date as possible but I have a whole date as possible but I have a whole GitHub repository here going over how I GitHub repository here going over how I GitHub repository here going over how I set up a lot of these things and under set up a lot of these things and under set up a lot of these things and under media here I have some information on media here I have some information on media here I have some information on gluten which is the uh VPN service that gluten which is the uh VPN service that gluten which is the uh VPN service that I'm using not for remote connections I'm using not for remote connections I'm using not for remote connections like I'm using twin gate for but this is like I'm using twin gate for but this is like I'm using twin gate for but this is for torrenting because frankly it's for torrenting because frankly it's for torrenting because frankly it's nobody's business if I choose to nobody's business if I choose to nobody's business if I choose to download Hannah Montana Linux so you can download Hannah Montana Linux so you can download Hannah Montana Linux so you can see right here I have it in my uh kind see right here I have it in my uh kind see right here I have it in my uh kind of stack of our services which we will of stack of our services which we will of stack of our services which we will be diving into you can see right here be diving into you can see right here be diving into you can see right here I'm running with airvpn of all the kind I'm running with airvpn of all the kind I'm running with airvpn of all the kind of public uh vpns for this purpose of public uh vpns for this purpose of public uh vpns for this purpose airvpn is my favorite it's the one I use airvpn is my favorite it's the one I use airvpn is my favorite it's the one I use they're not a sponsor I've never talked they're not a sponsor I've never talked they're not a sponsor I've never talked to them but I do have a referral link if to them but I do have a referral link if to them but I do have a referral link if you're interested in that check it out you're interested in that check it out you're interested in that check it out down below but it's really easy to set down below but it's really easy to set down below but it's really easy to set up very configurable uses wire guard up very configurable uses wire guard up very configurable uses wire guard very very nice sticking with the theme very very nice sticking with the theme very very nice sticking with the theme of DNS I am running pie hole here I was of DNS I am running pie hole here I was of DNS I am running pie hole here I was using adguard forever adguard home which using adguard forever adguard home which using adguard forever adguard home which is the open source kind of self-hosted is the open source kind of self-hosted is the open source kind of self-hosted version of that that works great it's a version of that that works great it's a version of that that works great it's a lot simpler it really easy to spin up lot simpler it really easy to spin up lot simpler it really easy to spin up but this I'm just using because there's but this I'm just using because there's but this I'm just using because there's a few more thirdparty extensions and it a few more thirdparty extensions and it a few more thirdparty extensions and it also works just as great you could see a also works just as great you could see a also works just as great you could see a lot of different information the query lot of different information the query lot of different information the query types some of the domains that are most types some of the domains that are most types some of the domains that are most blocked in my network a lot of iCloud blocked in my network a lot of iCloud blocked in my network a lot of iCloud garbage there's a lot of iPhones that garbage there's a lot of iPhones that garbage there's a lot of iPhones that are on my home network there's other

  6. are on my home network there's other are on my home network there's other features too that I'm not currently features too that I'm not currently features too that I'm not currently using that I do want to kind of using that I do want to kind of using that I do want to kind of experiment with such as a local DNS experiment with such as a local DNS experiment with such as a local DNS records and actually managing that records and actually managing that records and actually managing that through here but I'm not currently doing through here but I'm not currently doing through here but I'm not currently doing that this is specifically running as an that this is specifically running as an that this is specifically running as an ad blocker so next we're going to be ad blocker so next we're going to be ad blocker so next we're going to be diving into what I'm kind of diving into what I'm kind of diving into what I'm kind of categorizing as tools and utilities and categorizing as tools and utilities and categorizing as tools and utilities and the very first thing right here is file the very first thing right here is file the very first thing right here is file browser very simple tool that allows me browser very simple tool that allows me browser very simple tool that allows me to easily kind of navigate through uh to easily kind of navigate through uh to easily kind of navigate through uh copy files move files rename files it copy files move files rename files it copy files move files rename files it works really really good except for if works really really good except for if works really really good except for if you're trying to copy or move very large you're trying to copy or move very large you're trying to copy or move very large directories of things that's probably directories of things that's probably directories of things that's probably better to use like rsync and do that better to use like rsync and do that better to use like rsync and do that through the terminal but for most little through the terminal but for most little through the terminal but for most little kind of light things this has been kind of light things this has been kind of light things this has been awesome I was using a cockpit in the awesome I was using a cockpit in the awesome I was using a cockpit in the Navigator previously but I just find Navigator previously but I just find Navigator previously but I just find this a little bit easier and more this a little bit easier and more this a little bit easier and more intuitive it's running in the same kind intuitive it's running in the same kind intuitive it's running in the same kind of container stack as my R utilities of container stack as my R utilities of container stack as my R utilities real nice kind of little view of how real nice kind of little view of how real nice kind of little view of how much space I have left you can make much space I have left you can make much space I have left you can make folders files all that kind of stuff folders files all that kind of stuff folders files all that kind of stuff through here overall this is just a through here overall this is just a through here overall this is just a really nice tool if you're looking for a really nice tool if you're looking for a really nice tool if you're looking for a simple file browser now from there we're simple file browser now from there we're simple file browser now from there we're going to dive into Vault W and this is going to dive into Vault W and this is going to dive into Vault W and this is my password manager of choice this here my password manager of choice this here my password manager of choice this here is fully compatible with the bit W and is fully compatible with the bit W and is fully compatible with the bit W and desktop clients browser extensions and desktop clients browser extensions and desktop clients browser extensions and all that you can see I have it running all that you can see I have it running all that you can see I have it running right here but not only does it do right here but not only does it do right here but not only does it do pretty good password management and for pretty good password management and for pretty good password management and for the password management if I open one of the password management if I open one of the password management if I open one of these right here you can edit things so these right here you can edit things so these right here you can edit things so you can change the username the actual you can change the username the actual you can change the username the actual name of the service I could change right name of the service I could change right name of the service I could change right there there folder password you can add there there folder password you can add there there folder password you can add authentication Keys change the actual authentication Keys change the actual authentication Keys change the actual uis add notes all that kind of stuff and uis add notes all that kind of stuff and uis add notes all that kind of stuff and in addition we can add identity cards

  7. in addition we can add identity cards in addition we can add identity cards secure notes and like the secure notes I secure notes and like the secure notes I secure notes and like the secure notes I use for like uh API keys and tokens such use for like uh API keys and tokens such use for like uh API keys and tokens such as Cloud flare I have a influx DB API as Cloud flare I have a influx DB API as Cloud flare I have a influx DB API stored in there just anything super stored in there just anything super stored in there just anything super secure super important I have right here secure super important I have right here secure super important I have right here next up we have hoarder right here but next up we have hoarder right here but next up we have hoarder right here but this simply is a bookmark manager that this simply is a bookmark manager that this simply is a bookmark manager that has has some AI features that I'm not has has some AI features that I'm not has has some AI features that I'm not currently using but it can go ahead and currently using but it can go ahead and currently using but it can go ahead and fetch like the uh metadata images titles fetch like the uh metadata images titles fetch like the uh metadata images titles all that stuff so it really makes your all that stuff so it really makes your all that stuff so it really makes your collection look good so for example on collection look good so for example on collection look good so for example on this one if I clicked this little this one if I clicked this little this one if I clicked this little preview I could get a nice overview of preview I could get a nice overview of preview I could get a nice overview of what is going on we got the whole what is going on we got the whole what is going on we got the whole website here you could summarize it with website here you could summarize it with website here you could summarize it with AI uh you can add notes give it tags AI uh you can add notes give it tags AI uh you can add notes give it tags archive it favorite just all kinds of archive it favorite just all kinds of archive it favorite just all kinds of things I'm not getting into everything things I'm not getting into everything things I'm not getting into everything but this is kind of my The Bookmark but this is kind of my The Bookmark but this is kind of my The Bookmark manager I use that I don't actually use manager I use that I don't actually use manager I use that I don't actually use for like the typical browser bookmarks for like the typical browser bookmarks for like the typical browser bookmarks that you'd expect it's just kind of like that you'd expect it's just kind of like that you'd expect it's just kind of like an archive Vault of resources I want an archive Vault of resources I want an archive Vault of resources I want access to later and another thing that access to later and another thing that access to later and another thing that I'm using which admittedly I'm probably I'm using which admittedly I'm probably I'm using which admittedly I'm probably going to start kind of straying away going to start kind of straying away going to start kind of straying away from as I get more familiar with Docker from as I get more familiar with Docker from as I get more familiar with Docker using it in the terminal and just having using it in the terminal and just having using it in the terminal and just having my own compose yml Docker Stacks this my own compose yml Docker Stacks this my own compose yml Docker Stacks this however is awesome for managing Docker however is awesome for managing Docker however is awesome for managing Docker containers Docker Stacks monitoring containers Docker Stacks monitoring containers Docker Stacks monitoring various uh servers with Docker stuff various uh servers with Docker stuff various uh servers with Docker stuff running on it you can see here I have running on it you can see here I have running on it you can see here I have three different instances that I'm kind three different instances that I'm kind three different instances that I'm kind of managing through here I have my serve of managing through here I have my serve of managing through here I have my serve R stuff which is my media server uh this R stuff which is my media server uh this R stuff which is my media server uh this one just called Docker which has some uh one just called Docker which has some uh one just called Docker which has some uh external services that I give uh public external services that I give uh public external services that I give uh public web access to that I kind of have web access to that I kind of have web access to that I kind of have isolated and then I have frig stack

  8. isolated and then I have frig stack isolated and then I have frig stack right there this is real nice so if I go right there this is real nice so if I go right there this is real nice so if I go over here to stacks and go over to serar over here to stacks and go over to serar over here to stacks and go over to serar I can manage this whole stack of stuff I can manage this whole stack of stuff I can manage this whole stack of stuff going on if I jump into the editor you going on if I jump into the editor you going on if I jump into the editor you can really easily edit the stacks here can really easily edit the stacks here can really easily edit the stacks here you can see file browsers just sitting you can see file browsers just sitting you can see file browsers just sitting right there in this stack which is what right there in this stack which is what right there in this stack which is what I mentioned earlier as well as gluten I mentioned earlier as well as gluten I mentioned earlier as well as gluten here I'm not going to scroll down here I'm not going to scroll down here I'm not going to scroll down because you'll you you'll see some because you'll you you'll see some because you'll you you'll see some tokens but if you want a really nice web tokens but if you want a really nice web tokens but if you want a really nice web interface for managing Docker and all interface for managing Docker and all interface for managing Docker and all that protainer or that protainer or that protainer or painer sorry is the most recommended it painer sorry is the most recommended it painer sorry is the most recommended it works great overall I do love it and now works great overall I do love it and now works great overall I do love it and now for the very last item in this tools and for the very last item in this tools and for the very last item in this tools and utilities category we have octoprint utilities category we have octoprint utilities category we have octoprint octoprint has been a lifesaver it is octoprint has been a lifesaver it is octoprint has been a lifesaver it is single-handedly responsible for me single-handedly responsible for me single-handedly responsible for me actually using my 3D printer basically actually using my 3D printer basically actually using my 3D printer basically my 3D printer is a dumb printer it has my 3D printer is a dumb printer it has my 3D printer is a dumb printer it has no smart features no connectivity but no smart features no connectivity but no smart features no connectivity but you install this on a Raspberry Pi you you install this on a Raspberry Pi you you install this on a Raspberry Pi you plug it into basically any 3D printer plug it into basically any 3D printer plug it into basically any 3D printer and you can remotely control it manage and you can remotely control it manage and you can remotely control it manage it monitor it you can upload all your it monitor it you can upload all your it monitor it you can upload all your G-Code files here and start a print from G-Code files here and start a print from G-Code files here and start a print from wherever if I go over here to control wherever if I go over here to control wherever if I go over here to control you can see I got a webcam set up to it you can see I got a webcam set up to it you can see I got a webcam set up to it so not only can I kind of see what it's so not only can I kind of see what it's so not only can I kind of see what it's doing actively and control it remotely doing actively and control it remotely doing actively and control it remotely with these tools here but we could do with these tools here but we could do with these tools here but we could do time lapses so if I go over here this time lapses so if I go over here this time lapses so if I go over here this was kind of just the first time lapse I was kind of just the first time lapse I was kind of just the first time lapse I did to test it out and you can see I was did to test it out and you can see I was did to test it out and you can see I was printing a little Raspberry Pi 4 5 in uh printing a little Raspberry Pi 4 5 in uh printing a little Raspberry Pi 4 5 in uh little rack mount deal which is going to

  9. little rack mount deal which is going to little rack mount deal which is going to go in here this is my uh 3D printed rack go in here this is my uh 3D printed rack go in here this is my uh 3D printed rack mount server for 3D printing video on mount server for 3D printing video on mount server for 3D printing video on that and octoprint specifically coming that and octoprint specifically coming that and octoprint specifically coming soon but yeah if you have a 3D printer soon but yeah if you have a 3D printer soon but yeah if you have a 3D printer and you don't want to have it plugged and you don't want to have it plugged and you don't want to have it plugged into a computer it this is great so now into a computer it this is great so now into a computer it this is great so now we're going to go into media server and we're going to go into media server and we're going to go into media server and I have two main media servers that I run I have two main media servers that I run I have two main media servers that I run actively and that is Plex right here and actively and that is Plex right here and actively and that is Plex right here and jelly fin these two Services basically jelly fin these two Services basically jelly fin these two Services basically give you the same result a way to stream give you the same result a way to stream give you the same result a way to stream content from a single server to TVs content from a single server to TVs content from a single server to TVs Smart TVs your phone your computers all Smart TVs your phone your computers all Smart TVs your phone your computers all over your home network or externally if over your home network or externally if over your home network or externally if you set that up just really really you set that up just really really you set that up just really really conveniently pop your entire media conveniently pop your entire media conveniently pop your entire media library in there and you basically have library in there and you basically have library in there and you basically have your very own Netflix now you may be your very own Netflix now you may be your very own Netflix now you may be asking why am I running both that is a asking why am I running both that is a asking why am I running both that is a good question you're asking yourself good question you're asking yourself good question you're asking yourself Plex personally is not my preference but Plex personally is not my preference but Plex personally is not my preference but it is the main thing that I use because it is the main thing that I use because it is the main thing that I use because I do have quite a few family members I do have quite a few family members I do have quite a few family members that have access and utilize my Home that have access and utilize my Home that have access and utilize my Home Server some of them already use Plex I Server some of them already use Plex I Server some of them already use Plex I already have aplex pass and when it already have aplex pass and when it already have aplex pass and when it comes to like having my grandma connect comes to like having my grandma connect comes to like having my grandma connect to it remotely it's way easier for her to it remotely it's way easier for her to it remotely it's way easier for her to just sign in using her Google account to just sign in using her Google account to just sign in using her Google account or whatever and access it that way or whatever and access it that way or whatever and access it that way another Pro is it has a lot of another Pro is it has a lot of another Pro is it has a lot of thirdparty applications to kind of EXP thirdparty applications to kind of EXP thirdparty applications to kind of EXP expand and make the experience a little expand and make the experience a little expand and make the experience a little bit better which we'll dive into and bit better which we'll dive into and bit better which we'll dive into and then the major cons of it is Plex tries then the major cons of it is Plex tries then the major cons of it is Plex tries to hear let's open it up this is another to hear let's open it up this is another to hear let's open it up this is another problem with Plex depending on who you problem with Plex depending on who you problem with Plex depending on who you are this is a pro or con but Plex really

  10. are this is a pro or con but Plex really are this is a pro or con but Plex really likes to kind of push their own stuff so likes to kind of push their own stuff so likes to kind of push their own stuff so built into it they do have like ad built into it they do have like ad built into it they do have like ad supported content if that's something supported content if that's something supported content if that's something you want congratulations good for you you want congratulations good for you you want congratulations good for you and in addition to that a lot of the and in addition to that a lot of the and in addition to that a lot of the like Hardware transcoding uh live tv like Hardware transcoding uh live tv like Hardware transcoding uh live tv tuners for like DVR recording is put tuners for like DVR recording is put tuners for like DVR recording is put behind the p wall so you have to have behind the p wall so you have to have behind the p wall so you have to have Plex pass to get that I personally Plex pass to get that I personally Plex pass to get that I personally prefer this right here jelly fin because prefer this right here jelly fin because prefer this right here jelly fin because it has the benefit of being way more it has the benefit of being way more it has the benefit of being way more lightweight way simple with all the lightweight way simple with all the lightweight way simple with all the features that you'd expect out of features that you'd expect out of features that you'd expect out of something like this without any of the something like this without any of the something like this without any of the blow at supported content the only thing blow at supported content the only thing blow at supported content the only thing that you'll get connecting to this or to that you'll get connecting to this or to that you'll get connecting to this or to your server is the stuff you put on it your server is the stuff you put on it your server is the stuff you put on it specifically and then a pro is the specifically and then a pro is the specifically and then a pro is the hardware transcoding access to tuners hardware transcoding access to tuners hardware transcoding access to tuners and recording and all that is not put and recording and all that is not put and recording and all that is not put behind the pay wall 100% free and open behind the pay wall 100% free and open behind the pay wall 100% free and open source which is my preference is if source which is my preference is if source which is my preference is if there's a free and open source there's a free and open source there's a free and open source alternative to something I generally alternative to something I generally alternative to something I generally will always try to lean as hard as I can will always try to lean as hard as I can will always try to lean as hard as I can into that direction but this comes with into that direction but this comes with into that direction but this comes with the con of the uh kind of remote the con of the uh kind of remote the con of the uh kind of remote connections I don't want to set up a connections I don't want to set up a connections I don't want to set up a public URL that you can use to connect public URL that you can use to connect public URL that you can use to connect to this for remote connections for my to this for remote connections for my to this for remote connections for my family I don't want to try to get them family I don't want to try to get them family I don't want to try to get them to figure out how to use a VPN it's not to figure out how to use a VPN it's not to figure out how to use a VPN it's not as easy to get my grandma to connect to as easy to get my grandma to connect to as easy to get my grandma to connect to this and in addition Plex because it's this and in addition Plex because it's this and in addition Plex because it's paid software they have more funding and paid software they have more funding and paid software they have more funding and uh more development hours there's a much uh more development hours there's a much uh more development hours there's a much wider ecosystem so there's there is way wider ecosystem so there's there is way wider ecosystem so there's there is way way more supported devices for example way more supported devices for example way more supported devices for example and again my Grandma has a much older and again my Grandma has a much older and again my Grandma has a much older Smart TV there is no jelly fin app but Smart TV there is no jelly fin app but Smart TV there is no jelly fin app but there is a Plex app so it's just a there is a Plex app so it's just a there is a Plex app so it's just a matter of tinking around and figuring it matter of tinking around and figuring it matter of tinking around and figuring it out to figure out which one is going to

  11. out to figure out which one is going to out to figure out which one is going to work best for you and your use cases work best for you and your use cases work best for you and your use cases also a big reason I have jelly spun up also a big reason I have jelly spun up also a big reason I have jelly spun up is a lot of times if Plex doesn't have is a lot of times if Plex doesn't have is a lot of times if Plex doesn't have internet access it's a hit or miss internet access it's a hit or miss internet access it's a hit or miss whether if it's going to let you connect whether if it's going to let you connect whether if it's going to let you connect to it so in those instances jelly fins to it so in those instances jelly fins to it so in those instances jelly fins are always here ready to go for me which are always here ready to go for me which are always here ready to go for me which earlier I did mention that Plex has a earlier I did mention that Plex has a earlier I did mention that Plex has a lot more kind of third party apps that lot more kind of third party apps that lot more kind of third party apps that integrate with it and tatuli right here integrate with it and tatuli right here integrate with it and tatuli right here is one of them now Plex does have its is one of them now Plex does have its is one of them now Plex does have its very own kind of uh statistics logs and very own kind of uh statistics logs and very own kind of uh statistics logs and all that but this takes it to the next all that but this takes it to the next all that but this takes it to the next level when it comes to monitoring what's level when it comes to monitoring what's level when it comes to monitoring what's going on of course we have the activity going on of course we have the activity going on of course we have the activity you can see my wife upstairs is watching you can see my wife upstairs is watching you can see my wife upstairs is watching the peaky blinders probably one of the the peaky blinders probably one of the the peaky blinders probably one of the oh no she stopped probably one of the oh no she stopped probably one of the oh no she stopped probably one of the best shows that's ever been made but you best shows that's ever been made but you best shows that's ever been made but you could see like the most watched movies could see like the most watched movies could see like the most watched movies most watched TV shows if I head over to most watched TV shows if I head over to most watched TV shows if I head over to graphs for example I could get a whole graphs for example I could get a whole graphs for example I could get a whole bunch of data on what is going on when bunch of data on what is going on when bunch of data on what is going on when and where so we have the play count by and where so we have the play count by and where so we have the play count by media type day of the week so apparently media type day of the week so apparently media type day of the week so apparently Wednesdays people aren't really Wednesdays people aren't really Wednesdays people aren't really interested in watching as much content interested in watching as much content interested in watching as much content play count by hour of day so based on play count by hour of day so based on play count by hour of day so based on this it looks like 5:00 a.m. might be this it looks like 5:00 a.m. might be this it looks like 5:00 a.m. might be the best time to go ahead and do a the best time to go ahead and do a the best time to go ahead and do a server update and restart things so you server update and restart things so you server update and restart things so you get some information and uh analytics to get some information and uh analytics to get some information and uh analytics to kind of help you make those decisions kind of help you make those decisions kind of help you make those decisions and probably one of the best features of and probably one of the best features of and probably one of the best features of this right here is the newsletter agent this right here is the newsletter agent this right here is the newsletter agent you can set set up an actual newsletter you can set set up an actual newsletter you can set set up an actual newsletter that will go out to all the people who that will go out to all the people who that will go out to all the people who are on your server so you can inform are on your server so you can inform are on your server so you can inform them of what like new movies and TV them of what like new movies and TV them of what like new movies and TV shows has been added so now kind of in shows has been added so now kind of in shows has been added so now kind of in the same topic of media servers is my the same topic of media servers is my the same topic of media servers is my serve R stuff I get to tiptoe around all

  12. serve R stuff I get to tiptoe around all serve R stuff I get to tiptoe around all this a lot of these other tools here do this a lot of these other tools here do this a lot of these other tools here do most of the heavy lifting but probably most of the heavy lifting but probably most of the heavy lifting but probably my favorite one out of all of these is my favorite one out of all of these is my favorite one out of all of these is overseer this is a kind of request and overseer this is a kind of request and overseer this is a kind of request and kind of media Discovery tool so you can kind of media Discovery tool so you can kind of media Discovery tool so you can see here I do have a couple requests for see here I do have a couple requests for see here I do have a couple requests for um in the-dark and sneaky Peete whatever um in the-dark and sneaky Peete whatever um in the-dark and sneaky Peete whatever those are I haven't seen either of those those are I haven't seen either of those those are I haven't seen either of those but for example if I wanted to approve but for example if I wanted to approve but for example if I wanted to approve this one I would just click approve and this one I would just click approve and this one I would just click approve and boom it automatically shows up in boom it automatically shows up in boom it automatically shows up in another application that I'm going to another application that I'm going to another application that I'm going to show you in a minute so now show you in a minute so now show you in a minute so now theoretically since I approved that what theoretically since I approved that what theoretically since I approved that what I would do is go on Amazon or go to a I would do is go on Amazon or go to a I would do is go on Amazon or go to a local store and purchase a box kit of local store and purchase a box kit of local store and purchase a box kit of all those seasons and rip them onto my all those seasons and rip them onto my all those seasons and rip them onto my server but again media disc discover is server but again media disc discover is server but again media disc discover is kind of the big thing if I go over here kind of the big thing if I go over here kind of the big thing if I go over here to movies for example you can see the to movies for example you can see the to movies for example you can see the green check means I do already have some green check means I do already have some green check means I do already have some of these on the server but like I don't of these on the server but like I don't of these on the server but like I don't have whatever this is so the green have whatever this is so the green have whatever this is so the green check's not there and what I could do is check's not there and what I could do is check's not there and what I could do is Filters so if I go over here to filters Filters so if I go over here to filters Filters so if I go over here to filters and my favorite thing is to go down here and my favorite thing is to go down here and my favorite thing is to go down here to streaming services so if you don't to streaming services so if you don't to streaming services so if you don't have a particular streaming service but have a particular streaming service but have a particular streaming service but you're just curious to what is going on you're just curious to what is going on you're just curious to what is going on there so for example uh let's go Max there so for example uh let's go Max there so for example uh let's go Max let's see what's on Max you can see we let's see what's on Max you can see we let's see what's on Max you can see we have a lot of stuff on Max so I can see have a lot of stuff on Max so I can see have a lot of stuff on Max so I can see what's on there and then popularity what's on there and then popularity what's on there and then popularity descending so this is the most popular descending so this is the most popular descending so this is the most popular content on that that platform so I can content on that that platform so I can content on that that platform so I can see number one is this thing called flow see number one is this thing called flow see number one is this thing called flow or this movie called flow looks pretty or this movie called flow looks pretty or this movie called flow looks pretty good very highly rated so I'll just good very highly rated so I'll just good very highly rated so I'll just request it so then it will pop up on the request it so then it will pop up on the request it so then it will pop up on the other service you can watch trailers you other service you can watch trailers you other service you can watch trailers you can see a whole bunch of data when it can see a whole bunch of data when it can see a whole bunch of data when it comes to the actual content overall it's

  13. comes to the actual content overall it's comes to the actual content overall it's really cool and if I go back you could really cool and if I go back you could really cool and if I go back you could also add more filters so like you also add more filters so like you also add more filters so like you probably saw I can uh go by user score I probably saw I can uh go by user score I probably saw I can uh go by user score I want things that are at least at eight want things that are at least at eight want things that are at least at eight or better and let's say I want at least or better and let's say I want at least or better and let's say I want at least a good amount of votes so then you could a good amount of votes so then you could a good amount of votes so then you could see now this is all really popular see now this is all really popular see now this is all really popular probably really good content so nice probably really good content so nice probably really good content so nice little media Discovery tool there and little media Discovery tool there and little media Discovery tool there and then what will happen is those requests then what will happen is those requests then what will happen is those requests will jump into either sonar or radar will jump into either sonar or radar will jump into either sonar or radar they are essentially exactly the same they are essentially exactly the same they are essentially exactly the same sonar is for TV shows radar is for sonar is for TV shows radar is for sonar is for TV shows radar is for movies if I open up radar here and then movies if I open up radar here and then movies if I open up radar here and then let's filter this by missing you can see let's filter this by missing you can see let's filter this by missing you can see flow is now in here also have Mickey 17 flow is now in here also have Mickey 17 flow is now in here also have Mickey 17 so this is what I need to purchase and so this is what I need to purchase and so this is what I need to purchase and put in here of course there's other put in here of course there's other put in here of course there's other features and whatnot that I'm not going features and whatnot that I'm not going features and whatnot that I'm not going to dive into right now but you can see to dive into right now but you can see to dive into right now but you can see in this key for example the blue this in this key for example the blue this in this key for example the blue this one is unreleased and this is just one is unreleased and this is just one is unreleased and this is just simply missing so since it's red I know simply missing so since it's red I know simply missing so since it's red I know that I can go and uh get this content that I can go and uh get this content that I can go and uh get this content since I can't dive into all the features since I can't dive into all the features since I can't dive into all the features one really nice feature is just the one really nice feature is just the one really nice feature is just the media management aspect of this so for media management aspect of this so for media management aspect of this so for example if I popped in the file it example if I popped in the file it example if I popped in the file it showed up I could do like preview rename showed up I could do like preview rename showed up I could do like preview rename it's not going to have anything to do it's not going to have anything to do it's not going to have anything to do because it's already named properly but because it's already named properly but because it's already named properly but you can re use it to rename movies and you can re use it to rename movies and you can re use it to rename movies and TV shows it's really helpful with TV TV shows it's really helpful with TV TV shows it's really helpful with TV shows if you have a bunch of series and shows if you have a bunch of series and shows if you have a bunch of series and a bunch of different folders it kind of a bunch of different folders it kind of a bunch of different folders it kind of organizes it organizes everything for organizes it organizes everything for organizes it organizes everything for you if I dive into settings and media you if I dive into settings and media you if I dive into settings and media media management you can see movie media management you can see movie media management you can see movie renaming you could set up your custom renaming you could set up your custom renaming you could set up your custom format of however you want it to be format of however you want it to be format of however you want it to be there it's just a really cool kind of there it's just a really cool kind of there it's just a really cool kind of media management tool lar here is the

  14. media management tool lar here is the media management tool lar here is the exact same thing for music Bazar here is exact same thing for music Bazar here is exact same thing for music Bazar here is very similar but that is specifically very similar but that is specifically very similar but that is specifically for subtitles and pulling them from like for subtitles and pulling them from like for subtitles and pulling them from like opensubtitles.org or.com prow I'm not opensubtitles.org or.com prow I'm not opensubtitles.org or.com prow I'm not going to get too far into I will link to going to get too far into I will link to going to get too far into I will link to the wiki down below and then from there the wiki down below and then from there the wiki down below and then from there we have our download clients so Q bit we have our download clients so Q bit we have our download clients so Q bit torrent here I'm going to open this one torrent here I'm going to open this one torrent here I'm going to open this one up this one is a download client you can up this one is a download client you can up this one is a download client you can see one of the last things I downloaded see one of the last things I downloaded see one of the last things I downloaded is a Linux distribution called Ubuntu it is a Linux distribution called Ubuntu it is a Linux distribution called Ubuntu it is great for uh peer-to-peer file is great for uh peer-to-peer file is great for uh peer-to-peer file sharing specifically for things like sharing specifically for things like sharing specifically for things like Linux isos and the cool thing about Linux isos and the cool thing about Linux isos and the cool thing about especially Cubit tour and why I really especially Cubit tour and why I really especially Cubit tour and why I really like it is it's basically all the like it is it's basically all the like it is it's basically all the features that you would get from the features that you would get from the features that you would get from the desktop version of this application but desktop version of this application but desktop version of this application but you can view it on I can view it on any you can view it on I can view it on any you can view it on I can view it on any computer have access to it put torrent computer have access to it put torrent computer have access to it put torrent links in it and it'll automatically links in it and it'll automatically links in it and it'll automatically download them to my server directly and download them to my server directly and download them to my server directly and all this is funneled through my airvpn all this is funneled through my airvpn all this is funneled through my airvpn so if I like I think it's so if I like I think it's so if I like I think it's [Music] [Music] [Music] over where is it there it is network over where is it there it is network over where is it there it is network interface it's set to ton zero which is interface it's set to ton zero which is interface it's set to ton zero which is my tunnel for that VPN through gluten I my tunnel for that VPN through gluten I my tunnel for that VPN through gluten I have everything set up already covered have everything set up already covered have everything set up already covered that if you're interested in airvpn that if you're interested in airvpn that if you're interested in airvpn check it out down below using that link check it out down below using that link check it out down below using that link definitely supports the channel and then definitely supports the channel and then definitely supports the channel and then we have NZ get this is another download we have NZ get this is another download we have NZ get this is another download client for a different type of format client for a different type of format client for a different type of format use NCB files to download those uses new use NCB files to download those uses new use NCB files to download those uses new new servers and all that if I go into new servers and all that if I go into new servers and all that if I go into settings here go to status one of the re settings here go to status one of the re settings here go to status one of the re one of the reasons NCB gets really nice one of the reasons NCB gets really nice one of the reasons NCB gets really nice it's super super fast it's written in a it's super super fast it's written in a it's super super fast it's written in a C++ and it just has a whole bunch of C++ and it just has a whole bunch of C++ and it just has a whole bunch of features even here you could see I have

  15. features even here you could see I have features even here you could see I have speed testing and uh connection testing speed testing and uh connection testing speed testing and uh connection testing it's cool because it can automatically it's cool because it can automatically it's cool because it can automatically download like raar files automatically download like raar files automatically download like raar files automatically extract a bunch of them to get one file extract a bunch of them to get one file extract a bunch of them to get one file and then this can like move and rename and then this can like move and rename and then this can like move and rename things automatically depending on how things automatically depending on how things automatically depending on how you have it set up and what other you have it set up and what other you have it set up and what other services you're using with it so now the services you're using with it so now the services you're using with it so now the next category is files and images and next category is files and images and next category is files and images and this is probably going to be at least this is probably going to be at least this is probably going to be at least these next two are the most important these next two are the most important these next two are the most important tools that I use the two things that if tools that I use the two things that if tools that I use the two things that if I lost would be difficult to go on I lost would be difficult to go on I lost would be difficult to go on without and the first being nextcloud I without and the first being nextcloud I without and the first being nextcloud I love nextcloud so much I can't even love nextcloud so much I can't even love nextcloud so much I can't even describe it properly it is what has describe it properly it is what has describe it properly it is what has allowed me to completely ditch a Google allowed me to completely ditch a Google allowed me to completely ditch a Google Drive which is what I was using Drive which is what I was using Drive which is what I was using previously it's a full-fledged full previously it's a full-fledged full previously it's a full-fledged full feature full featured alternative to uh feature full featured alternative to uh feature full featured alternative to uh Google Drive one drive iCloud whatever Google Drive one drive iCloud whatever Google Drive one drive iCloud whatever type of file manager Cloud file manager type of file manager Cloud file manager type of file manager Cloud file manager you happen to want to be using it has you happen to want to be using it has you happen to want to be using it has all the features you'd expect in a file all the features you'd expect in a file all the features you'd expect in a file manager adding removing deleting files manager adding removing deleting files manager adding removing deleting files there's a desktop tool so you could set there's a desktop tool so you could set there's a desktop tool so you could set up uh folders on your computer that will up uh folders on your computer that will up uh folders on your computer that will automatically sync up to it and in automatically sync up to it and in automatically sync up to it and in addition to that there there's so many addition to that there there's so many addition to that there there's so many different applications and extensions different applications and extensions different applications and extensions that you can use with it uh deck is a that you can use with it uh deck is a that you can use with it uh deck is a really nice camand board talk right here really nice camand board talk right here really nice camand board talk right here is basically a full-fledged replacement is basically a full-fledged replacement is basically a full-fledged replacement for like uh Zoom or Skype if I go over for like uh Zoom or Skype if I go over for like uh Zoom or Skype if I go over here and go to apps you can see here and go to apps you can see here and go to apps you can see everything that it has to offer there's everything that it has to offer there's everything that it has to offer there's so many things so customization if I go so many things so customization if I go so many things so customization if I go to featured apps we have Federation

  16. to featured apps we have Federation to featured apps we have Federation that's another really cool thing about that's another really cool thing about that's another really cool thing about it is if you know somebody else with the it is if you know somebody else with the it is if you know somebody else with the nextcloud instance you can connect them nextcloud instance you can connect them nextcloud instance you can connect them and be able to easily share files and be able to easily share files and be able to easily share files communicate with each other we have communicate with each other we have communicate with each other we have nextcloud office so it can completely nextcloud office so it can completely nextcloud office so it can completely replace like Google workspaces Google replace like Google workspaces Google replace like Google workspaces Google Docs full collaborative file management Docs full collaborative file management Docs full collaborative file management whether that be docs uh Excel documents whether that be docs uh Excel documents whether that be docs uh Excel documents presentations password policies photos presentations password policies photos presentations password policies photos PDF viewers this is all things I have PDF viewers this is all things I have PDF viewers this is all things I have enabled if I go down here to a lot of enabled if I go down here to a lot of enabled if I go down here to a lot of the stuff I don't have enabled you have the stuff I don't have enabled you have the stuff I don't have enabled you have forms mail so it includes an entire full forms mail so it includes an entire full forms mail so it includes an entire full groupware Suite that you can use for groupware Suite that you can use for groupware Suite that you can use for your contacts mail and all that fun your contacts mail and all that fun your contacts mail and all that fun stuff music news assistant it has AI stuff music news assistant it has AI stuff music news assistant it has AI stuff you could use only office if you stuff you could use only office if you stuff you could use only office if you prefer that tasks tables the prefer that tasks tables the prefer that tasks tables the possibilities are endless there's even a possibilities are endless there's even a possibilities are endless there's even a whiteboard so I think it's draw iio you whiteboard so I think it's draw iio you whiteboard so I think it's draw iio you could have integrated in here and could have integrated in here and could have integrated in here and speaking of replacing things if you want speaking of replacing things if you want speaking of replacing things if you want to replace uh Google photos Amazon to replace uh Google photos Amazon to replace uh Google photos Amazon photos or any other similar service photos or any other similar service photos or any other similar service image is by far the best tool and image is by far the best tool and image is by far the best tool and probably out of all these musthave probably out of all these musthave probably out of all these musthave services this is the musthave service services this is the musthave service services this is the musthave service this right here is some images I took at this right here is some images I took at this right here is some images I took at CES if I go ahead and like open up this CES if I go ahead and like open up this CES if I go ahead and like open up this one for example uh this was on an iPhone one for example uh this was on an iPhone one for example uh this was on an iPhone so it has has kind of the live view so it has has kind of the live view so it has has kind of the live view thing so you can actually see that if I thing so you can actually see that if I thing so you can actually see that if I go back out of here you have your full go back out of here you have your full go back out of here you have your full timeline so you can see all the photos timeline so you can see all the photos timeline so you can see all the photos you can see I have some old ones in here you can see I have some old ones in here you can see I have some old ones in here but as all the features you'd expect if but as all the features you'd expect if but as all the features you'd expect if I open up uh something else again here I open up uh something else again here I open up uh something else again here we can view the photo or the live we can view the photo or the live we can view the photo or the live version of the photo copy it get some version of the photo copy it get some version of the photo copy it get some information on it favorite it trash it information on it favorite it trash it information on it favorite it trash it and share it out if I go to map this is

  17. and share it out if I go to map this is and share it out if I go to map this is something that is really cool and if I something that is really cool and if I something that is really cool and if I go over here this is going to be in go over here this is going to be in go over here this is going to be in Germany this was actually at a nextcloud Germany this was actually at a nextcloud Germany this was actually at a nextcloud event so I can see all the different event so I can see all the different event so I can see all the different photos that I've taken in this specific photos that I've taken in this specific photos that I've taken in this specific place with all the information I can add place with all the information I can add place with all the information I can add descriptions put in my favorites all descriptions put in my favorites all descriptions put in my favorites all that we have a whole tab for sharing if that we have a whole tab for sharing if that we have a whole tab for sharing if I go over here to explore you're going I go over here to explore you're going I go over here to explore you're going to see as people so as facial to see as people so as facial to see as people so as facial recognition and features to actually I recognition and features to actually I recognition and features to actually I can show you I'm going to blur out most can show you I'm going to blur out most can show you I'm going to blur out most of this but you can see the names here of this but you can see the names here of this but you can see the names here and then if I see a picture down here and then if I see a picture down here and then if I see a picture down here that isn't named so if I go to these that isn't named so if I go to these that isn't named so if I go to these pictures for example and I do add a name pictures for example and I do add a name pictures for example and I do add a name and then I type in a name that already and then I type in a name that already and then I type in a name that already exists this is that person so now it's exists this is that person so now it's exists this is that person so now it's going to merge the so you go through you going to merge the so you go through you going to merge the so you go through you uh link up everybody's face properly and uh link up everybody's face properly and uh link up everybody's face properly and you'll have a pretty good facial you'll have a pretty good facial you'll have a pretty good facial recognition system as well all hosted recognition system as well all hosted recognition system as well all hosted locally without some big Tech locally without some big Tech locally without some big Tech conglomerate having access to all your conglomerate having access to all your conglomerate having access to all your personal photos and media and it does personal photos and media and it does personal photos and media and it does say bye here but that's just to support say bye here but that's just to support say bye here but that's just to support them it is 100% free and open source them it is 100% free and open source them it is 100% free and open source nothing's pay waled it has an app which nothing's pay waled it has an app which nothing's pay waled it has an app which that's probably the most important thing that's probably the most important thing that's probably the most important thing about it to me is if I actually open it about it to me is if I actually open it about it to me is if I actually open it up the mobile app that we have here is up the mobile app that we have here is up the mobile app that we have here is rather intuitive it has all the same rather intuitive it has all the same rather intuitive it has all the same features that is on the desk toop client features that is on the desk toop client features that is on the desk toop client and the ability to automatically back up and the ability to automatically back up and the ability to automatically back up whatever folder or all the recent photos whatever folder or all the recent photos whatever folder or all the recent photos on your phone directly to the service so on your phone directly to the service so on your phone directly to the service so all I do start backup and now it's going all I do start backup and now it's going all I do start backup and now it's going to upload the 10 pictures that I to upload the 10 pictures that I to upload the 10 pictures that I currently do not have backed up to the currently do not have backed up to the currently do not have backed up to the server ooh new version server ooh new version server ooh new version available now the last one and I'm just available now the last one and I'm just available now the last one and I'm just kind of experimenting and playing around kind of experimenting and playing around kind of experimenting and playing around with this one and that is Doc most you

  18. with this one and that is Doc most you with this one and that is Doc most you can see I have the notion logo here I'm can see I have the notion logo here I'm can see I have the notion logo here I'm kind of trying to find a notion kind of trying to find a notion kind of trying to find a notion replacement because I was using that for replacement because I was using that for replacement because I was using that for quite a while this this one definitely quite a while this this one definitely quite a while this this one definitely isn't as feature Rich As notion I am on isn't as feature Rich As notion I am on isn't as feature Rich As notion I am on the hunt for some tools that are but the hunt for some tools that are but the hunt for some tools that are but this has been working really good uh for this has been working really good uh for this has been working really good uh for example this was one I recently updated example this was one I recently updated example this was one I recently updated the written version of this video I the written version of this video I the written version of this video I actually wrote initially in here through actually wrote initially in here through actually wrote initially in here through in all the pictures it has the it's in all the pictures it has the it's in all the pictures it has the it's basically a markdown editor so if I do a basically a markdown editor so if I do a basically a markdown editor so if I do a little uh backslash here you can see all little uh backslash here you can see all little uh backslash here you can see all the various markdown codes but has some the various markdown codes but has some the various markdown codes but has some extra things such as a math in line we extra things such as a math in line we extra things such as a math in line we could do uh a bunch of different could do uh a bunch of different could do uh a bunch of different embedded files from various Services embedded files from various Services embedded files from various Services YouTube videos Google Drive links or YouTube videos Google Drive links or YouTube videos Google Drive links or it's advertised as a kind of self-hosted it's advertised as a kind of self-hosted it's advertised as a kind of self-hosted personal Wiki or just knowledge base for personal Wiki or just knowledge base for personal Wiki or just knowledge base for whatever you want to do it kind of has a whatever you want to do it kind of has a whatever you want to do it kind of has a kind of drop- down hierarchy kind of kind of drop- down hierarchy kind of kind of drop- down hierarchy kind of folder structure you can see I have a folder structure you can see I have a folder structure you can see I have a writing category with just a bunch of writing category with just a bunch of writing category with just a bunch of stuff I've been throwing in here I do or stuff I've been throwing in here I do or stuff I've been throwing in here I do or I am using it kind of as a Wiki if I go I am using it kind of as a Wiki if I go I am using it kind of as a Wiki if I go into editing you could see I have some into editing you could see I have some into editing you could see I have some like position and Border for how I like like position and Border for how I like like position and Border for how I like to do my little picture and picture in to do my little picture and picture in to do my little picture and picture in effects So eventually when I do hire effects So eventually when I do hire effects So eventually when I do hire somebody to help me out I'm slowly somebody to help me out I'm slowly somebody to help me out I'm slowly building up some documentation so building up some documentation so building up some documentation so everybody's going to be on the same page everybody's going to be on the same page everybody's going to be on the same page here and same goes with recording and here and same goes with recording and here and same goes with recording and then like my description and links are then like my description and links are then like my description and links are right here overall docm has been a right here overall docm has been a right here overall docm has been a really fun tool to use so now we're really fun tool to use so now we're really fun tool to use so now we're going to be diving into some of my smart going to be diving into some of my smart going to be diving into some of my smart home stuff and kind of the main thing home stuff and kind of the main thing home stuff and kind of the main thing that I'm using at the moment is home that I'm using at the moment is home that I'm using at the moment is home assistant probably one of the most um or assistant probably one of the most um or assistant probably one of the most um or most popular most widely used smart home most popular most widely used smart home most popular most widely used smart home self-hosted utilities out there and to

  19. self-hosted utilities out there and to self-hosted utilities out there and to be honest I have been neglectful of this be honest I have been neglectful of this be honest I have been neglectful of this as of recent I just set everything up as of recent I just set everything up as of recent I just set everything up everything just works but I do need to everything just works but I do need to everything just works but I do need to spend some time kind of freshening it up spend some time kind of freshening it up spend some time kind of freshening it up this is one of my custom dashboards I this is one of my custom dashboards I this is one of my custom dashboards I created this is for the kind of main created this is for the kind of main created this is for the kind of main level you can see the temperatures I can level you can see the temperatures I can level you can see the temperatures I can edit or manage all the lights all the edit or manage all the lights all the edit or manage all the lights all the window shades here if I go to the lower window shades here if I go to the lower window shades here if I go to the lower level this is down here so like if I tap level this is down here so like if I tap level this is down here so like if I tap on this one boop boop you'll see see a on this one boop boop you'll see see a on this one boop boop you'll see see a difference there everybody in my home difference there everybody in my home difference there everybody in my home has access to this through the app so has access to this through the app so has access to this through the app so they can go over to this tab and they can go over to this tab and they can go over to this tab and actually use this to a temporary block actually use this to a temporary block actually use this to a temporary block pie hole if like my niece for example is pie hole if like my niece for example is pie hole if like my niece for example is doing homework opens up home assistant doing homework opens up home assistant doing homework opens up home assistant two Taps and you could disable the two Taps and you could disable the two Taps and you could disable the entire py hole server for a little bit entire py hole server for a little bit entire py hole server for a little bit and if I talked about everything that and if I talked about everything that and if I talked about everything that this tool could do this video would be 2 this tool could do this video would be 2 this tool could do this video would be 2 hours long if I go over here to settings hours long if I go over here to settings hours long if I go over here to settings we can see all my devices and services we can see all my devices and services we can see all my devices and services linked up here if I go back there's a linked up here if I go back there's a linked up here if I go back there's a bunch of automations and scenes so I bunch of automations and scenes so I bunch of automations and scenes so I have like garage hallway motion there's have like garage hallway motion there's have like garage hallway motion there's two motion sensors If somebody walks in two motion sensors If somebody walks in two motion sensors If somebody walks in that hallway turns on the light stuff that hallway turns on the light stuff that hallway turns on the light stuff like that and then there's blueprints like that and then there's blueprints like that and then there's blueprints for various devices so a lot of people for various devices so a lot of people for various devices so a lot of people there's a huge Community behind this so there's a huge Community behind this so there's a huge Community behind this so people make a people make a people make a it a lot easier to add functionality to it a lot easier to add functionality to it a lot easier to add functionality to these devices beyond what is just kind these devices beyond what is just kind these devices beyond what is just kind of programmed by default which is really of programmed by default which is really of programmed by default which is really really nice and a lot of my devices on really nice and a lot of my devices on really nice and a lot of my devices on my network are zigby devices and this I my network are zigby devices and this I my network are zigby devices and this I actually separated out I was using a actually separated out I was using a actually separated out I was using a zigg mqtt here as a home assistant zigg mqtt here as a home assistant zigg mqtt here as a home assistant add-on but I just found it easier to add-on but I just found it easier to add-on but I just found it easier to kind of separate it out so if I want to kind of separate it out so if I want to kind of separate it out so if I want to incorporate it in a different home incorporate it in a different home incorporate it in a different home assistant install it's just really easy

  20. assistant install it's just really easy assistant install it's just really easy just to link it up like that so if I go just to link it up like that so if I go just to link it up like that so if I go to this it's going to be zigby dohop to this it's going to be zigby dohop to this it's going to be zigby dohop key. net completely hosted in its own key. net completely hosted in its own key. net completely hosted in its own lxc on prox marks by itself and here I lxc on prox marks by itself and here I lxc on prox marks by itself and here I can add new devices I could permit join can add new devices I could permit join can add new devices I could permit join to easily uh sync other devices up to it to easily uh sync other devices up to it to easily uh sync other devices up to it I can manage devices so if I go to like I can manage devices so if I go to like I can manage devices so if I go to like my uh kitchen shade for example I can my uh kitchen shade for example I can my uh kitchen shade for example I can see a lot of data and statistics on it I see a lot of data and statistics on it I see a lot of data and statistics on it I can go to settings to invert the cover can go to settings to invert the cover can go to settings to invert the cover if you have zigby devices zigby mqtt is if you have zigby devices zigby mqtt is if you have zigby devices zigby mqtt is definitely something worth checking out definitely something worth checking out definitely something worth checking out and then that takes us to frig this is and then that takes us to frig this is and then that takes us to frig this is my in IND NVR solution if I open this up my in IND NVR solution if I open this up my in IND NVR solution if I open this up I could see all the rooms I have indoors I could see all the rooms I have indoors I could see all the rooms I have indoors I do have a real link NVR for all the I do have a real link NVR for all the I do have a real link NVR for all the outdoor cameras I actually share that outdoor cameras I actually share that outdoor cameras I actually share that with my neighbor which is in the same with my neighbor which is in the same with my neighbor which is in the same duplex that I'm in basically the reason duplex that I'm in basically the reason duplex that I'm in basically the reason I set this up these are all also real I set this up these are all also real I set this up these are all also real link cameras I don't want to buy five SD link cameras I don't want to buy five SD link cameras I don't want to buy five SD cards when I have a server with a bunch cards when I have a server with a bunch cards when I have a server with a bunch of storage so I just have all the of storage so I just have all the of storage so I just have all the internal cameras record directly to this internal cameras record directly to this internal cameras record directly to this and it works good frig is awesome I have and it works good frig is awesome I have and it works good frig is awesome I have a little Google Coral TPU if I go a little Google Coral TPU if I go a little Google Coral TPU if I go over here to system metrics you can see over here to system metrics you can see over here to system metrics you can see it set up this is the detectors the it set up this is the detectors the it set up this is the detectors the coral one and coral 2 and this takes a coral one and coral 2 and this takes a coral one and coral 2 and this takes a lot of the load off the server for lot of the load off the server for lot of the load off the server for object detection and things like that so object detection and things like that so object detection and things like that so you can see it's recording and you can see it's recording and you can see it's recording and monitoring for five different cameras monitoring for five different cameras monitoring for five different cameras and I'm using just under 2% of my CPU so and I'm using just under 2% of my CPU so and I'm using just under 2% of my CPU so having a coral with frig is almost a having a coral with frig is almost a having a coral with frig is almost a necessity and then here I'm going to

  21. necessity and then here I'm going to necessity and then here I'm going to blur this a little bit but you can see blur this a little bit but you can see blur this a little bit but you can see if I hover over all these various events if I hover over all these various events if I hover over all these various events it kind of jumps me there in the it kind of jumps me there in the it kind of jumps me there in the timeline on the side so it it just the timeline on the side so it it just the timeline on the side so it it just the interface is beautiful there's filters interface is beautiful there's filters interface is beautiful there's filters and all that for the various alerts the and all that for the various alerts the and all that for the various alerts the detections overall this tool has been a detections overall this tool has been a detections overall this tool has been a blast I would say a con to it is over blast I would say a con to it is over blast I would say a con to it is over here on the configuration editor if I go here on the configuration editor if I go here on the configuration editor if I go ahead and scroll down pass all my ahead and scroll down pass all my ahead and scroll down pass all my passwords it's a real hit or miss on passwords it's a real hit or miss on passwords it's a real hit or miss on configuring this depending on the type configuring this depending on the type configuring this depending on the type of cameras you have it is nice and that of cameras you have it is nice and that of cameras you have it is nice and that like home assistant you can bring in like home assistant you can bring in like home assistant you can bring in different manufacturers into one different manufacturers into one different manufacturers into one platform but like amrest cameras I platform but like amrest cameras I platform but like amrest cameras I couldn't get like the two-way audio to couldn't get like the two-way audio to couldn't get like the two-way audio to work to save my life real link I could work to save my life real link I could work to save my life real link I could get the uh two-way audio to work but get the uh two-way audio to work but get the uh two-way audio to work but then I can't use it on the app anymore then I can't use it on the app anymore then I can't use it on the app anymore because it thinks the mic is always in because it thinks the mic is always in because it thinks the mic is always in use so getting some of the specific use so getting some of the specific use so getting some of the specific camera features to work on this camera features to work on this camera features to work on this sometimes is a hassle but if you just sometimes is a hassle but if you just sometimes is a hassle but if you just want to use it for object detection and want to use it for object detection and want to use it for object detection and recording it is great so from there and recording it is great so from there and recording it is great so from there and kind of the final category is going to kind of the final category is going to kind of the final category is going to be my data metrics and monitoring and be my data metrics and monitoring and be my data metrics and monitoring and the main platform that I'm using is the main platform that I'm using is the main platform that I'm using is grafana this has been another one I've grafana this has been another one I've grafana this has been another one I've been neglecting recently I'm in the been neglecting recently I'm in the been neglecting recently I'm in the process of updating all my documentation process of updating all my documentation process of updating all my documentation over on the uh GitHub page for this but over on the uh GitHub page for this but over on the uh GitHub page for this but for example you saw I just opened up a for example you saw I just opened up a for example you saw I just opened up a dashboard for the node exporter and you dashboard for the node exporter and you dashboard for the node exporter and you can see I do have a node exporter can see I do have a node exporter can see I do have a node exporter installed on two different raspberry installed on two different raspberry installed on two different raspberry pies so I kind of use this to monitor pies so I kind of use this to monitor pies so I kind of use this to monitor that and see what's going on you can see that and see what's going on you can see that and see what's going on you can see just the slew of different information just the slew of different information just the slew of different information that you can get so these are all the that you can get so these are all the that you can get so these are all the network traffic by packets Network network traffic by packets Network network traffic by packets Network traffic drop speed so there's a huge traffic drop speed so there's a huge traffic drop speed so there's a huge Spike right here I probably like Spike right here I probably like Spike right here I probably like connected remotely and backed up some

  22. connected remotely and backed up some connected remotely and backed up some pictures because this P has the dtns pictures because this P has the dtns pictures because this P has the dtns server on it at Windgate and all that server on it at Windgate and all that server on it at Windgate and all that and then like if I go back home for and then like if I go back home for and then like if I go back home for example go to proxmox I have this so I example go to proxmox I have this so I example go to proxmox I have this so I can monitor everything and this one you can monitor everything and this one you can monitor everything and this one you do kind of have to select what you want do kind of have to select what you want do kind of have to select what you want to see so if I grab that grab my tank to see so if I grab that grab my tank to see so if I grab that grab my tank storage I can then monitor the CPU usage storage I can then monitor the CPU usage storage I can then monitor the CPU usage of these various servers the memory of these various servers the memory of these various servers the memory usage I'm using a lot of it up time is a usage I'm using a lot of it up time is a usage I'm using a lot of it up time is a week and a day we can see the memory week and a day we can see the memory week and a day we can see the memory usage so my Nas sync there was using usage so my Nas sync there was using usage so my Nas sync there was using quite a bit 50% uh in the middle of the quite a bit 50% uh in the middle of the quite a bit 50% uh in the middle of the night I think it was running a backup night I think it was running a backup night I think it was running a backup task at that time see what's going on task at that time see what's going on task at that time see what's going on look at pretty graphs make informed look at pretty graphs make informed look at pretty graphs make informed decisions now I'm not going to dive too decisions now I'm not going to dive too decisions now I'm not going to dive too far into the actual databases that I'm far into the actual databases that I'm far into the actual databases that I'm using but essentially for uh proxmox using but essentially for uh proxmox using but essentially for uh proxmox right here I'm using influx DB it's just right here I'm using influx DB it's just right here I'm using influx DB it's just a native way to export and share data a native way to export and share data a native way to export and share data actually you know how I mind as well actually you know how I mind as well actually you know how I mind as well influx DB and if I go to the data influx DB and if I go to the data influx DB and if I go to the data explore you can see here under proxmox I explore you can see here under proxmox I explore you can see here under proxmox I have all the data so I can go through have all the data so I can go through have all the data so I can go through check some things hit submit and kind of check some things hit submit and kind of check some things hit submit and kind of see what what's going on that's a bad see what what's going on that's a bad see what what's going on that's a bad example but if I picked like CPU usage example but if I picked like CPU usage example but if I picked like CPU usage it would look a lot prettier I could it would look a lot prettier I could it would look a lot prettier I could switch this out to be a heat map switch this out to be a heat map switch this out to be a heat map histogram all kinds of things to histogram all kinds of things to histogram all kinds of things to actually manage and view all the data actually manage and view all the data actually manage and view all the data that's stored in this database now that's stored in this database now that's stored in this database now alternatively for the node exporter I am alternatively for the node exporter I am alternatively for the node exporter I am using pereus this is very similar just a using pereus this is very similar just a using pereus this is very similar just a different database platform it's not as different database platform it's not as different database platform it's not as easy to kind of navigate the data on easy to kind of navigate the data on easy to kind of navigate the data on here if I do like a CPU node CPU memory

  23. here if I do like a CPU node CPU memory here if I do like a CPU node CPU memory bytes execute that and we could see bytes execute that and we could see bytes execute that and we could see what's going on again don't you don't what's going on again don't you don't what's going on again don't you don't really use this unless if you have a really use this unless if you have a really use this unless if you have a reason to to view and manage all of this reason to to view and manage all of this reason to to view and manage all of this I use this to collect and store the data I use this to collect and store the data I use this to collect and store the data and then I use grafana to visualize the and then I use grafana to visualize the and then I use grafana to visualize the data another thing under data metrics data another thing under data metrics data another thing under data metrics that I'm not going to get too far into that I'm not going to get too far into that I'm not going to get too far into cuz it's very Niche is a tesam mate here cuz it's very Niche is a tesam mate here cuz it's very Niche is a tesam mate here this is a whole separate stack that runs this is a whole separate stack that runs this is a whole separate stack that runs its very own instance of grafana on top its very own instance of grafana on top its very own instance of grafana on top of Tesla mate itself which pulls from of Tesla mate itself which pulls from of Tesla mate itself which pulls from the Tesla API you have a database that the Tesla API you have a database that the Tesla API you have a database that everything's stored into all in just a everything's stored into all in just a everything's stored into all in just a really nice neat little Docker compos really nice neat little Docker compos really nice neat little Docker compos thing going on so that we could see such thing going on so that we could see such thing going on so that we could see such as uh battery health just all kinds of as uh battery health just all kinds of as uh battery health just all kinds of Statistics I just spun this up so we Statistics I just spun this up so we Statistics I just spun this up so we don't have a whole lot of data here if I don't have a whole lot of data here if I don't have a whole lot of data here if I go back to dashboards under Tesla mate go back to dashboards under Tesla mate go back to dashboards under Tesla mate uh let's go look at a trip so for uh let's go look at a trip so for uh let's go look at a trip so for example I took a trip to Spokan and this example I took a trip to Spokan and this example I took a trip to Spokan and this is a drive that I did and absolutely is a drive that I did and absolutely is a drive that I did and absolutely sheer comical amount of data that nobody sheer comical amount of data that nobody sheer comical amount of data that nobody has any reason to need this much has any reason to need this much has any reason to need this much information about anything but you can information about anything but you can information about anything but you can see my speed the power the range the uh see my speed the power the range the uh see my speed the power the range the uh battery heater status just a whole bunch battery heater status just a whole bunch battery heater status just a whole bunch of stuff and you you can see as I go of stuff and you you can see as I go of stuff and you you can see as I go across this graph you can see the across this graph you can see the across this graph you can see the specific area in which the data was specific area in which the data was specific area in which the data was logged It's Kind it's silly to be honest logged It's Kind it's silly to be honest logged It's Kind it's silly to be honest all the way down to the elevation here all the way down to the elevation here all the way down to the elevation here we can see an elevation meter and be we can see an elevation meter and be we can see an elevation meter and be able to see that so from here to here is able to see that so from here to here is able to see that so from here to here is all up hill we're going up a hill and all up hill we're going up a hill and all up hill we're going up a hill and then on this freeway going down into then on this freeway going down into then on this freeway going down into Spokane we're going down a hill Ju Just Spokane we're going down a hill Ju Just Spokane we're going down a hill Ju Just some really cool stuff now to finish off some really cool stuff now to finish off some really cool stuff now to finish off this video I want to talk about the this video I want to talk about the this video I want to talk about the platform that I'm actually using to run platform that I'm actually using to run platform that I'm actually using to run all this and that is proxmox I was using

  24. all this and that is proxmox I was using all this and that is proxmox I was using unraid for quite a while and I will know unraid for quite a while and I will know unraid for quite a while and I will know unraid is phenomenal if I switched back unraid is phenomenal if I switched back unraid is phenomenal if I switched back to it it' be absolutely no sweat to me I to it it' be absolutely no sweat to me I to it it' be absolutely no sweat to me I would not be complaining but I simply would not be complaining but I simply would not be complaining but I simply just wanted to play around with proxmox just wanted to play around with proxmox just wanted to play around with proxmox more and the unraid or the forly unrate more and the unraid or the forly unrate more and the unraid or the forly unrate server that I had this one right here I server that I had this one right here I server that I had this one right here I installed proxmox on it so I could set installed proxmox on it so I could set installed proxmox on it so I could set it up as a cluster so I can see them all it up as a cluster so I can see them all it up as a cluster so I can see them all together real nice and now to the actual together real nice and now to the actual together real nice and now to the actual organization of everything I did change organization of everything I did change organization of everything I did change a little bit since I did my kind of prox a little bit since I did my kind of prox a little bit since I did my kind of prox series uh right here this serve R there series uh right here this serve R there series uh right here this serve R there were three containers I had the Vault were three containers I had the Vault were three containers I had the Vault container which managed all the network container which managed all the network container which managed all the network shares the actual data then we had the shares the actual data then we had the shares the actual data then we had the uh Plex Media Server as a separate uh Plex Media Server as a separate uh Plex Media Server as a separate container and then we had the serve R container and then we had the serve R container and then we had the serve R container which was all those kind of container which was all those kind of container which was all those kind of medium management tools what I did was I medium management tools what I did was I medium management tools what I did was I wiped all those I installed a um the wiped all those I installed a um the wiped all those I installed a um the Plex container with the proxmox helper Plex container with the proxmox helper Plex container with the proxmox helper script installed jelly fin on it threw script installed jelly fin on it threw script installed jelly fin on it threw Docker on it just put everything in one Docker on it just put everything in one Docker on it just put everything in one and that is what this is right here and that is what this is right here and that is what this is right here serar I wanted it in an unprivileged serar I wanted it in an unprivileged serar I wanted it in an unprivileged container just to kind of keep all the container just to kind of keep all the container just to kind of keep all the permissions and everything the same permissions and everything the same permissions and everything the same across the board so that's really helped across the board so that's really helped across the board so that's really helped quite a bit and it's on here that I have quite a bit and it's on here that I have quite a bit and it's on here that I have this protainer this right here the serar this protainer this right here the serar this protainer this right here the serar so we have all of these running on there so we have all of these running on there so we have all of these running on there and and it's been working pretty good and and it's been working pretty good and and it's been working pretty good for a just a simple lxc proxmox for a just a simple lxc proxmox for a just a simple lxc proxmox container also on the single machine I container also on the single machine I container also on the single machine I do have proxmox backup server and then I do have proxmox backup server and then I do have proxmox backup server and then I have a Windows Virtual machine which have a Windows Virtual machine which have a Windows Virtual machine which usually isn't running but I just used it

  25. usually isn't running but I just used it usually isn't running but I just used it and so far its main use case has been to and so far its main use case has been to and so far its main use case has been to flash um Windows isos if I ever need flash um Windows isos if I ever need flash um Windows isos if I ever need those because it's rare that I have a those because it's rare that I have a those because it's rare that I have a Windows machine in my house just ready Windows machine in my house just ready Windows machine in my house just ready to go to do that this makes it easy all to go to do that this makes it easy all to go to do that this makes it easy all I do is pass through a USB port and life I do is pass through a USB port and life I do is pass through a USB port and life is good so that's what I'm using that is good so that's what I'm using that is good so that's what I'm using that for and I can actually shut this down for and I can actually shut this down for and I can actually shut this down because I don't plan on using it again because I don't plan on using it again because I don't plan on using it again for a minute on here I have some pools for a minute on here I have some pools for a minute on here I have some pools so we have my tank which is a comical so we have my tank which is a comical so we have my tank which is a comical amount of storage as you can see there amount of storage as you can see there amount of storage as you can see there and then we have my flash pool which is and then we have my flash pool which is and then we have my flash pool which is four mvme drives all working together four mvme drives all working together four mvme drives all working together and it's on the flash for both the zimma and it's on the flash for both the zimma and it's on the flash for both the zimma cube and this one that I have like my uh cube and this one that I have like my uh cube and this one that I have like my uh boot discs and all that anything I want boot discs and all that anything I want boot discs and all that anything I want to be Snappy and tank is for just to be Snappy and tank is for just to be Snappy and tank is for just storage media stuff like that images and storage media stuff like that images and storage media stuff like that images and it's actually on the zimac cube here it's actually on the zimac cube here it's actually on the zimac cube here where I have a bulk of all the other where I have a bulk of all the other where I have a bulk of all the other services running a lot of them are services running a lot of them are services running a lot of them are running independently for example this running independently for example this running independently for example this uh Community script little tag here a uh Community script little tag here a uh Community script little tag here a lot of these are installed that way head lot of these are installed that way head lot of these are installed that way head back over here go to the zimma cube back over here go to the zimma cube back over here go to the zimma cube under shell drop that command in and under shell drop that command in and under shell drop that command in and then it's going to start a little uh then it's going to start a little uh then it's going to start a little uh prompt to get this all set up so a lot prompt to get this all set up so a lot prompt to get this all set up so a lot of the things I do have installed that of the things I do have installed that of the things I do have installed that way so like grafana is installed with a way so like grafana is installed with a way so like grafana is installed with a uh Docker helper script and then that's uh Docker helper script and then that's uh Docker helper script and then that's where I have my stack with uh graffa where I have my stack with uh graffa where I have my stack with uh graffa itself Prometheus inflex DB and all that itself Prometheus inflex DB and all that itself Prometheus inflex DB and all that this proxy lxc container is just the this proxy lxc container is just the this proxy lxc container is just the helper script for enginex proxy manager helper script for enginex proxy manager helper script for enginex proxy manager just set that up with the uh Advanced just set that up with the uh Advanced just set that up with the uh Advanced options and we're good to go py hole
