Thank you! I’m new to Ubuntu, and couldn’t find beginner-friendly answers to my troubles online until this guide very clearly laid out what to do and what step I missed.
My suggestion/trick: Set the DHCP pool as follows: For a Class C IPv4 addressing scheme: 192.168.1.101 - 192.168.1.254 So that the addresses from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.100 will be used as STATIC addresses. This helps if you run a home lab.
This is a super well made tutorial and easy to follow. However I think it's important to add that if you have the ubuntu server and windows installed on the same PC, Make sure "Fast Startup" on windows is disabled! You will have errors if you don't disable this. Still, this is a super useful and underrated tutorial.
FYI for any others out there. After adding the new alias to the .bashrc file. Run this command to refresh the .bashrc configuration. source ~/.bashrc Then you should be able to use the alias.
Hi man! looks nice, Regarding to the prepare an alias for ssh connection, the best practice would be to prepare a ~ / .ssh /cofig file in the file we enter the data for the ssh connection and then connect via ssh linkname.
Great tutorial, and I'm commenting on this after I finished the nextcloud video. Took some time trying to port forward on the at&t router admin panel but it all worked out in the end. Thanks!
Awesome, thanks man. Top notch quality (overall), imho better than a lot of 100k+ Tech-UA-camrs. Keep it up, Roman. Also really looking forward to the Confluence and Jira Software :D
@@TechGuides I know, especially if you're living in a country like Switzerland with high costs for everyday stuff and expensive rents for apartments etc.
I have been searching for an ultimate home server YT guide, but was frustrated at all the others on YT. This is the ONE!! Thank you!! I may have missed it, but do you have the hardware you used to build your server (i.e. motherboard, cpu, ram, etc.)?
When I type in nano .bashrc it sends me to this screen that you had in the video at 9:30, but than you went to this different part of the text that I’m not sure how to get to at 9:31. What buttons did you press?
Your video is amazing, I have doubt that can your server be accessed from anywhere in the world or it can only be accessed by devices on your network. Waiting for part 2 :-)
Great video, thank you. I am using OMV5 now but I'll install ubuntu server and I am looking for web ui for ubuntu server to access from network or internet.
I've never used ubuntu or any of the linux versions out there. I'd like to. When I was a kid I did a good amount of simple dos stuff so I'm not scared of command prompts but I don't know or recognize or understand anything I see in these linux videos. Is there a more windows user interface version of linux to do all these tasks by point and clicks rather than commands that are foreign to me? How did you learn the linux commands and are they universal for all linux versions/iterations?
I would highly recommend to learn the commands using Ubuntu since this is probably the distribution with the most tutorials available (however commands are mostly universal across different distributions). I learned Linux by having to use it at work and through tutorials. Linux really is not super complicated and you'll be able to do so much more than using any GUI :)
Your Samsung 840 is a SATA not NVMe and a tip for you Samsung 8xx series are all SATA interface and 9xx are all M.2 interface. And also all Z77 motherboards to my knowledge don't support booting from PCIe even if you installed an adapter to use an NVMe drive. Great video and very informative! like and subscribe.

Hey dude, I haven't finished this video yet but can you do like a PXE boot tutorial using linux server as the server and maybe a resperry pi as client (Dumb Terminal)
Why would you not mention that the computer that's getting the OS installed onto must be connected to a network? Or explain hard drive partition, usually that has to be done before installing another OS for dual booting?
If you want to use the windows terminal to connect to your home server, you first need to install the WSL (Linux subsystem for windows). Alternatively you can also just use a client like mobaXterm to connect to your server
@@TechGuides Thanks! I did end up installing FreeNAS. It was very easy for me. BUT, do you think I should try linux server again? Why do you prefer linux over other options? Just curious
Awesome! Well in the end it really depends what you want to achieve with your server. I like the freedom of being able to install any Linux software of my liking. Currently, I use it to modify and upload webcam images to host, run an FTP server, a wiki with confluence, project management with jira, ZFS file system for my UA-cam files, regular file system for nextcloud, backup solution for my parents and a whole bunch of other software for testing and YT projects ;)
@@TechGuides in time, I hope to learn to do all that! That's really awesome. For me, it's a freelance videographer, all I need right now is a home-based storage solution with a raid 6.

Hey thanks for the video it was very helpful. Although im having some trouble connecting to my server from outside my local network. I have a linksys router and i configured the port forwarding just like you did but things just don’t seem to work for me. Any help would be really appreciated!
I see that on your installation it says no authorised SSH keys for the user but when I installed mine there was a public SSH key. Is that a reason to be worried about?
I've covered mysql, php, apache in the Nextcloud install videos. However, I generally would not recommend to host a public site on your private servers (security, availability, scalability issues) and prefer to use a hoster for that
Hey, in your tutorial write up on your blog just above the title line "Setting up your router" it says you should NOT be able to log in on your server using the user name and password specified during the installation procedure. I think the word NOT should be removed from that sentence! LOL. I am actually following your setup for an HP DL60 that won't take ClearOS or any OS other than Windows and server 2016 or 2012 (Thanks HP you deprecated support for this machine three years after it debuted and made extended support really expensive and prevented downloads of firmware updates without an extended support contract. Thankfully others have been kind enough to post firmware updates online for enthusiast community use!). My Server is located right beside me on a KVM so remote access is not really needed right now. Global access might be nice in the future but for now, I can access it with the KVM. It would have been nice to have the static IP configure steps at this point so I don't have to log in to my machine to determine IP address after network reconnects (My cable modem is assigning DHCP at the moment and rebuild when the cable service drops (which is about nightly) so my addresses can be quite flexible.

Thanks for the great tutorial! Unfortunately I couldn't manage to install ubuntu on my Minix 2700 HD. I couldn't set up the network connection during installation because I use a usb wifi stick and it didn't give an ip. So I clicked on "setting up without a network connection" and tried to install ubuntu server on the machine, however it always stops at one point. I opened the error report but it is so long and hard for me to understand what the issue really is. What I could see is there might be a compatibility issue with the CPU, but not sure. Any tips are very much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
update: I could install ubuntu desktop without any problem and could connect to the network by using the same wifi usb. also I forgot to mention that the ssd I have in the minix is only 16gb, but while I tried to install the server version I didn't get any errors about the limited storage space.

Great Video. Can you do a video for installing a home webhosting with for example ISPConfig, or a panel you recommend. The CentOS one has a nice app installer for wordpress. Didn't find any other free panel that has that. Anyway keep up the good work!!
Thanks for the suggestion! However, since I have basically never used nor installed such a panel this would require quite a significant time investment which I sadly currently don't have :(
@@TechGuides Thanks for the reply. I have it up and running since a few days now. Works awesome. It's just that some settings are weird and i tought maybe someone with knowledge knows more.
Yes of course! You can always install a desktop later or even install the desktop version right away. Having a desktop is really rather like an extension on top of Ubuntu than a dedicated version!
I've always installed desktop ISOs from the command line using dd, but this does NOT work for me when it comes to installing Ubuntu server 20.04. First time trying to install server...it simply fails to find an OS on a hard drive.
@@TechGuides Yes, it didn't work - could be an outdated BIOS. dd has always worked for me in linux: sudo dd if=/path-to-iso/iso-file-name.iso of=/dev/'specific device for iso file to be installed on' where 'specific device for iso file to be installed on' takes the form sda,sdb, etc. where sdb is typically the second disk on your system since sda would typically be your only single hard drive, and sdb would typically be a USB drive for a live-usb install in this instance.
Why would you not mention that you have to be connected to a network? Or explain hard drive partition, usually that has to be done before installing another OS for dual booting?
i need your help. just after install ubuntu , the time i roob, i tourn on this msg: attempting boot from NIC attempting boot fromm Hard drive attempting boot from Cd rom non system disk or dusk error thx
I'm sorry I don't understand your question... But if you can't boot then either your boot options are not set up properly or Ubuntu wasn't successfully installed
Hey, I recently watched your home server series using Ubuntu 18.04, are things you said still valid or are they quite outdated as of today ? (edit: typo)
This video is basically identical to my old one, except that its designed for 20.04 rather than 18.04. The only really outdated information in the old video is that creating a password for the root user is generally considered bad practice - something I didn't know at the time. The rest still holds up today!
Cant login after installing , it says incorrect login but Im sure i typed it right . What can I do? I tried to reinstall ubuntu again and nothing worked
I followed the installation sequence just as in the video, but when I try to boot up I keep getting the following error No boot file received. Then in the next screen Error 1962: No operating system found. Press any key to repeat boot sequence. When I hit a key i just keep getting that error. Is there something I can do in the Bios? Something wrong with the installation?
@@TechGuides for some reason the ubuntu version in the link above was not properly installing. It seemed like the Lenovo Bios I was working with had trouble booting up that version. I used the amd64 legacy server install image and that one worked. cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-legacy-server/releases/20.04/release/ubuntu-20.04-legacy-server-amd64.iso
@@Yairoo06 I had the same error "No bootable device found" Thanks for the link to the "legacy installer" - I prefer that, frankly, as it gives more detail However, I think my problem stemmed from trying to "link" too many drives together for the installation. I have two IDE drives (Master/Slave) and one SATA drive, and no combination I found left me with a bootable drive. Under the "legacy installer" I chose to use one IDE drive ("entire drive guided partitioning") and also to install an LVM to "add" drives after installation, That should give me the result I wanted - a LARGE data partition.
Sorry I never got round to producing them seeing that Atlassian (the company developing Jira and Confluence) stopped providing updates to their self-hosted solutions.
It's the best video so far to setup a home server but can you help us out by giving us another video on how we can update our domain name with the dynamic update client of no-ip or the clouddns cause my router doesn't support custom DNS service so the only option for me is duc!! Please Help!! Thank You in Advance!!
Thanks a lot! You can almost always run a small shell script on your server that updates the public IP address on your domain name provider. Use google to search for no-ip update shell script or clouddns update shell script
@@TechGuides first off thank you for the reply and secondly i searched but there are no correct information related to clouddns's duc if you can make a video it would be much appreciated!!🙏🙏
cloudns actually provides wget commands, a perl script, a python script, a php script, and a windows script when you enable dynamic URL. You can use either of those to update your public IP address (i.e. the A record)
I need help. For a few days I'm trying to install ubuntu. I firstly wanted to install debian and I managed to install it once but it bugged then the 2nd time I tried to reinstall it gave a lot of errors and missing files. Then I tried to install Ubuntu. First time it installed perfectly fine. I wanted to reinstall because my system started giving errors. The second time I tried to install it started giving errors again - missing files dirs etc. I tried older version of ubuntu 18.04 no different result. I thought the ubuntu boot files from the website don't work but i dont know. Now whatever version I try to install it is stuck on "downloading and installing security updates" and when I click to view full log it is making a loop with some errors.
Sounds like some old dirs are acting up make sure to completely whipe your hard drive before installing Ubunut. Also may I ask what system you try to install Linux on?
@@TechGuides i have installed ubuntu, i have 2 hard drives one i installed ubuntu then the other one i have data which i would like to work once in a while, now i want to connect that data hard to my ubuntu server so that i can be able to access it from other computers via network throw the ubuntu server as a storage drive now its is in ntfs format
At home you basically won't be needing port forwarding, as you're already within the local network when you access another machine. Port forwarding really only affects the outside web so I guess there is an issue with your setup? Can you double check if you forward to the correct local IP address, i.e. your home server?
There isn't a GUI included in the Ubuntu Server install. One could be installed manually however that's really only for direct access. If you remote onto your server you usually do that via a secure shell (SSH).
@@TechGuides yeah I had that thought a little after posting that I think - ie., gui doesn't matter, as long as a "gui" is provided if you try to remote in from a different computer. Do you need to setup SSH to remote in from the same network? I don't want to open the server up to outside networks, but do want to be able to remote in from within the network.

"I prefer to configure LVM or RAID after i install linux" - How in the name of god you can configure your main disk drive into a LVM/RAID without losing the existin linux installation???
@@TechGuides this makes things clearer... But maybe someone would like to use RAID 0 for extra performance in the OS drive. In such case i assume this has to be done during installation. Right?
Because if for example you have an old computer (like mine) which has two of the earliest Kingston 64 GB SSDs which have a read speed of approximatelly 100 MB/s it's nice to use them in a RAID 0 to theoritically double the speed! :) I also have a spare WDC 2TB HDD for storage. So i keep my OS in the RAID and my data on the HDD. If something happens to the RAID array i just reinstall the OS.
Perfect timing on this series. Just got a new PC so I am turning the old one into a home server. Can't wait for part 2 :)

My suggestion/trick:
Set the DHCP pool as follows:
For a Class C IPv4 addressing scheme:
192.168.1.101 - 192.168.1.254
So that the addresses from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.100 will be used as STATIC addresses. This helps if you run a home lab.
This is a super well made tutorial and easy to follow. However I think it's important to add that if you have the ubuntu server and windows installed on the same PC, Make sure "Fast Startup" on windows is disabled!

@@TechGuides Thanks for the reply.
I have it up and running since a few days now. Works awesome. It's just that some settings are weird and i tought maybe someone with knowledge knows more.
Hi, are we able to install ubuntu server onto a thumbdrive that is plug into a router?
That way we can do our website on our own "nas"
I have no experience with that I'm afraid.
Could you use ubuntu desktop for a home file server? Im not really into CLI, at least atm.
Yes of course! You can always install a desktop later or even install the desktop version right away. Having a desktop is really rather like an extension on top of Ubuntu than a dedicated version!
I've always installed desktop ISOs from the command line using dd, but this does NOT work for me when it comes to installing Ubuntu server 20.04. First time trying to install server...it simply fails to find an OS on a hard drive.
I'm not familiar with dd. Did you follow this tutorial and burn your ISO on an USB stick?
@@TechGuides Yes, it didn't work - could be an outdated BIOS.
dd has always worked for me in linux:
sudo dd if=/path-to-iso/iso-file-name.iso of=/dev/'specific device for iso file to be installed on'
where 'specific device for iso file to be installed on' takes the form sda,sdb, etc. where sdb is typically the second disk on your system since sda would typically be your only single hard drive, and sdb would typically be a USB drive for a live-usb install in this instance.
it's intalling updates for 2 hours now and its still not done. please help.
where di d you get the ubuntu profile and all that for the terminal? I don't have any of that
What do you mean? For the Windows Terminal? Check this out: www.thomasmaurer.ch/2020/06/my-windows-terminal-color-schemes/
Thank you m8, from now on I will hate Snap also and remove from where I see.
Any idea when part 2 will be released?
Part 2 is live since a few months: ua-cam.com/video/NQdTAfVQDB4/v-deo.html
How do you feel about Snap's license agreement and it's lack of FOSS?
I haven't delved too much into this issue but since I no longer use snaps it didn't really bother me yet
Why would you not mention that you have to be connected to a network? Or explain hard drive partition, usually that has to be done before installing another OS for dual booting?
What good does a server that's not connected to a network?
i need your help. just after install ubuntu , the time i roob, i tourn on this msg:
attempting boot from NIC
attempting boot fromm Hard drive
attempting boot from Cd rom
non system disk or dusk error
thx
I'm sorry I don't understand your question... But if you can't boot then either your boot options are not set up properly or Ubuntu wasn't successfully installed
Hey, I recently watched your home server series using Ubuntu 18.04, are things you said still valid or are they quite outdated as of today ? (edit: typo)
This video is basically identical to my old one, except that its designed for 20.04 rather than 18.04. The only really outdated information in the old video is that creating a password for the root user is generally considered bad practice - something I didn't know at the time. The rest still holds up today!
Tech Guides alright thank you very much :)
But what about the most important question - how do I access the server from another network?
Can some one help I am having trouble login in to my server from windows
What's the issue?
@@TechGuides I have the same issue. It apparently says that the host is offline. Is it because I have them on seperate drives?
สอน postgresql databaes หน่อยครับ
Cant login after installing , it says incorrect login but Im sure i typed it right . What can I do? I tried to reinstall ubuntu again and nothing worked
I reinstalled it again and worked, the only thing I made different this time was not upgrading to the latest ubuntu installer or something like that.
Thank you
Thanks for watching!
I followed the installation sequence just as in the video, but when I try to boot up I keep getting the following error No boot file received. Then in the next screen Error 1962: No operating system found. Press any key to repeat boot sequence. When I hit a key i just keep getting that error. Is there something I can do in the Bios? Something wrong with the installation?
nevermind, it worked after I installed the legacy version. For some reason my Lenovo did not like the other iso.
Interesting, what exactly is the legacy version if I may ask?
@@TechGuides for some reason the ubuntu version in the link above was not properly installing. It seemed like the Lenovo Bios I was working with had trouble booting up that version. I used the amd64 legacy server install image and that one worked. cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-legacy-server/releases/20.04/release/ubuntu-20.04-legacy-server-amd64.iso
@@Yairoo06 I had the same error "No bootable device found"
Thanks for the link to the "legacy installer" - I prefer that, frankly, as it gives more detail
However, I think my problem stemmed from trying to "link" too many drives together for the installation. I have two IDE drives (Master/Slave) and one SATA drive, and no combination I found left me with a bootable drive. Under the "legacy installer" I chose to use one IDE drive ("entire drive guided partitioning") and also to install an LVM to "add" drives after installation, That should give me the result I wanted - a LARGE data partition.
Thanks.
I think you show your public IP @ 12:20 in the video
Thanks for noticing. Luckily Ive moved places since ;)
Where are the tutorials for setting up confluence and jira for the home server?
Sorry I never got round to producing them seeing that Atlassian (the company developing Jira and Confluence) stopped providing updates to their self-hosted solutions.
What is the video links for parts 4 and 5 of this series?
Currently finishing up part 4
im stupid where is that in GNU nano 4.8 at 9:31
What do you mean? Nano is a simple text editor
Hi, I am a Mac user, is there an alternative of rufus that runs on Mac?
I have no experience with MAC, but a quick google search would come up with UNETBOOTIN
Yeah had some trouble following in this working in a technicolor and I guess I'm just missing a lot, hard to follow .-.
Where did you struggle?
It's the best video so far to setup a home server but can you help us out by giving us another video on how we can update our domain name with the dynamic update client of no-ip or the clouddns cause my router doesn't support custom DNS service so the only option for me is duc!! Please Help!! Thank You in Advance!!
Thanks a lot! You can almost always run a small shell script on your server that updates the public IP address on your domain name provider. Use google to search for no-ip update shell script or clouddns update shell script
@@TechGuides first off thank you for the reply and secondly i searched but there are no correct information related to clouddns's duc if you can make a video it would be much appreciated!!🙏🙏
cloudns actually provides wget commands, a perl script, a python script, a php script, and a windows script when you enable dynamic URL. You can use either of those to update your public IP address (i.e. the A record)
You skipped all the important stuff. I have 7 hard drives that I cant use now thatI followed this video, thanks man. :(
I need help. For a few days I'm trying to install ubuntu. I firstly wanted to install debian and I managed to install it once but it bugged then the 2nd time I tried to reinstall it gave a lot of errors and missing files. Then I tried to install Ubuntu. First time it installed perfectly fine. I wanted to reinstall because my system started giving errors. The second time I tried to install it started giving errors again - missing files dirs etc. I tried older version of ubuntu 18.04 no different result. I thought the ubuntu boot files from the website don't work but i dont know. Now whatever version I try to install it is stuck on "downloading and installing security updates" and when I click to view full log it is making a loop with some errors.
Sounds like some old dirs are acting up make sure to completely whipe your hard drive before installing Ubunut. Also may I ask what system you try to install Linux on?
@@TechGuides it's an old computer. I formatted the drive on another computer. It worked. Thanks a lot
Excellent!
Hey do you use cockpit?
Hi! I used to but have it no longer installed because I didn't use it too often
@@TechGuides thank you!
hey is it possible to add a hard drive which already as data in ubuntu server and as ntfs format
I'm not sure I can follow... Do you mean as hard drive for the installation? All data will be erased so I don't think you want that?
@@TechGuides i have installed ubuntu, i have 2 hard drives one i installed ubuntu then the other one i have data which i would like to work once in a while, now i want to connect that data hard to my ubuntu server so that i can be able to access it from other computers via network throw the ubuntu server as a storage drive now its is in ntfs format
Late reply but yes this should work just fine.
@@TechGuides Thank you sorry for my wrong statement explanations
hey man my port forwarding only works from home, not anywhere else I go.
At home you basically won't be needing port forwarding, as you're already within the local network when you access another machine. Port forwarding really only affects the outside web so I guess there is an issue with your setup? Can you double check if you forward to the correct local IP address, i.e. your home server?
@@TechGuides i found out the issue, when I was forwarding it wanted my local ip and not the system ip.
FIrst Thank you for this video, after this seriase can i use local database such us SQLite or phpMyAdmin ??
You can use whatever you want. phpMyAdmin is not a database.
Ubuntu is not an option for Windows terminal. There is only azure command prompt and powershell
Sorry I cant follow, what do you mean?
great video thank you so much and pls speak little bit slowly if it is possible sometimes i dont understan what you are saying
Thank you! I know I speak rather fast, but I will soon add captions to all my recent videos to make understanding what I say a bit easier ;)
@@TechGuides thank you I will wait
can you make minecraft server like this?
yes, you can install a minecraft server on ubuntu like so: www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-a-minecraft-server-on-ubuntu-18-04
why no Freenas system??? Just curious
I will be using this also as web server and install a few applications that you simply can't get on freenas
is there a GUI? how can we remote in via GUI?
There isn't a GUI included in the Ubuntu Server install. One could be installed manually however that's really only for direct access. If you remote onto your server you usually do that via a secure shell (SSH).
@@TechGuides yeah I had that thought a little after posting that I think - ie., gui doesn't matter, as long as a "gui" is provided if you try to remote in from a different computer. Do you need to setup SSH to remote in from the same network? I don't want to open the server up to outside networks, but do want to be able to remote in from within the network.
SWISS QUALITY - Grüezi wohl ;-)
Grüezi und Danke!

"I prefer to configure LVM or RAID after i install linux" - How in the name of god you can configure your main disk drive into a LVM/RAID without losing the existin linux installation???
I was talking about the storage drives. Why would you need raid for the OS drive?
@@TechGuides this makes things clearer... But maybe someone would like to use RAID 0 for extra performance in the OS drive. In such case i assume this has to be done during installation. Right?
Yes, sorry, this would have to be done during installation! Although I'm still unsure why one would need more performance on the OS drive
Because if for example you have an old computer (like mine) which has two of the earliest Kingston 64 GB SSDs which have a read speed of approximatelly 100 MB/s it's nice to use them in a RAID 0 to theoritically double the speed! :) I also have a spare WDC 2TB HDD for storage. So i keep my OS in the RAID and my data on the HDD. If something happens to the RAID array i just reinstall the OS.
No, ubuntu server doesnt have a GUI
Correct. Can be installed if needed though
Create video bro
9:16
This is to difficult..
What part are you struggling with? I think the setup is rather straight forward really!
@@TechGuides I figured out how it works. Thanks for the helpfull video.
