It's insane how much he self hosts until I look at what I host and I see I'm not THAT far behind 😂 Also super cool he uses like 80% of what he makes videos on too!
You know the best part of it, is just having learned so much. People ask how much effort it is, and to me it's not much. I really look for things that just work for the most part.
@AwesomeOpenSource that's too true. I have a small group of friends who are all tech save and kinda look at my setup in awe like I'm some sort of Stephen Hawking but I tell them all the time with videos like yours it's truly so easy now that as long as you know how to Google and what a command line is, you can easily do all of this.
Boy did I happen upon your video at the perfect time. You are solving some big problems I had no clue how to even begin to search for. Thank you so very much 🙏
Another simple way to setup a mail server is to setup a base server, I use Debian, install webmin and then the free version of virtualmin on top of that, makes deploying an email environment a much simpler task. I have a separate Nextcloud server so I have those features that would be missing, basically the calendar function. I found it at least for my use case a more cohesive environment.
Great selection. If it is not forced on me or doesn't do GPU, then Terminator has been my favorite TE for years. Rockstor info is JIT, as I was just looking for a BTRFS NAS solution for a project. Thanks for being there.
I know, me too. I'm sorry it's taking so long. I was going to piece-mile it all out a bit at a time, but then thought, "why?". It's better for me and you all if I do it all then release the series and allow you all to watch it as you have time. So I'm currently recording, then I'll be editing it all and getting it ready for release. Maybe I can do a few bits here and there in the mean time though.
I've been looking for a document management system with a version control for a long time. Hopefully opensource. Can you maybe make a video about candidates, pls?
Glad you like the content. Best thing you can do with linux ISOs from torrent, is get the md5 sum from the project, and check the final file against it.
Regarding the music servers, any thoughts how Navidrome/Symfonium and Jellyfin/Sonarr compares to other popular streaming media servers? Ampache, Plex, Media Monkey, AIMP ? Or even the less popular options.. Kodi/Xbmc, funkwhale, epoupon / lms, emby, gonic/beets, mopidy, Lyrion/Logitech Music Media Server, etc?
I've only used Navidrome, MStream, Jellyfin, and Ampache. Ampache was fine, but my playlists got lost during updates, no matter what I set as volume mounts, and my clients could never get the playlists to come up. Navidrome has been rock solid for years now, and continues to be amazing, so I've stuck with it.
I use Kubuntu GNU/Linux--been using it since 2016 as well as some other distros on other devices such as Fedora and (sometimes) antiX for older devices. I basically live inside libre software all day, feel no temptation to go back to windows at all. You seem to know a lot about servers and self hosting. Am busy today, but intend to come back to this video to learn more later.
I love it, we have so much fun, and they have nice little seasonal fun things too. The first time they filled the world with ice for winter / XMas time..OMG - we had such a blast just trying to figure out how to cross the ocean.
Microsoft office is SaaS. I do IT for a job. There is no way to get away from Office. The entire ecosystem is so deeply integrated with the OS. Defender for the endpoint is next-level AV.
I think if you want to move away it can 100% be done. It's about deciding this is what I want to do, this is how I will go about doing it. It's not easy, if it was everyone would have done it already. Yes, they integrate well with Windows, but you don't have to use MS Office. On most installs of Windows, in fact, you have to go sign up and start the subscription after a short "free" trial.
They both do things quite well. I think the hardest part of a NAS is that people don't knwo what a storage pool is, why you need to create one, or what a volume is, and how you make it. If anyone would simply create a nice walk through in their system to help you through the process and explain that a volume can be a subset of the pool, and the pool can be a partial drive, 1 drive, or many drives in some sort of RAID, I mean that would be the real game changer. Other than that, Rock Ons are a bit harder to setup with RockStor than just using docker in OMV, though you have to add the Docker Plugin for OMV, and Rock On is just there inRockstor.
@@AwesomeOpenSource I really wish more businesses would use Open Source and GDPR compliant software and hardware but i guess that will stay a dream...... No matter where you look its Azure, AWS or Google Cloud but hey they store and operate the data inside the EU so theyre compliant.......not. Ever heard of the US Cloud Act and other laws? Next to MSes policies?
Nothing specific in US for the general public. There are rules for specialized PII data. Like CJIS (Criminal Justice Information Systems) compliance for FBI data, and HIPAA for Health related data, but nothing like GDPR, which I really wish there was honeslty. Here int he good 'ol USA, we are a commodity.
I have a full time job, I run this channel, I spend time with my family, and run a small IT business on the side. My whole goal is finding software that just runs. I don't like having to fiddle with things, so when I settle on something it's generally pretty solid for me and my family. It has to have the FAF (Family Approval Factor).
How did I not find you until now??? Thank you for this info! Subbed

I make sure to like every single video from you that pops up on any of my channels. You deserve a lot of subscribers!!!
Thank you so much!
Hey, thanks for putting all this together!
Was a fun watch and discovery of new things :)
My pleasure.
I am self hosting Rustdesk and it is working really good. I will try Rockstor in my lab. Thanks for the video.
My pleasure
Rustdesk selfhost tutorial pls
@@pragmaticmero686 I have two videos on it already. Check the links in the description. They should both be there.

Another fantastic video! Keep up the amazing work! I have learned about so many amazing projects through your channel. ❤
Awesome! Thank you!
Love this cotent! So many homelab projects to try out
Thanks so much! Go out there and try them all!
Excellent job on these videos. Waiting for the open source msp vid.

I've had that request before, let me see what I can find.
I like your music selection OG
Thanks. I'm a child of the 80s and 90s, but I really love all genres. If I like it, I like it!
Love your videos. Keep them coming. No torrent is safe, not a single one.
Glad you like the content. Best thing you can do with linux ISOs from torrent, is get the md5 sum from the project, and check the final file against it.
Another wonderful video, thanks again!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Veloren, it might be very interesting game. Will test it on weekends! Thank you for your great job, you made for community!
My pleasure, and Veloren is a blast!

Damn...Veloren...I still force my friends to play this game. But at the end, we all enjoy it

I wished there was a centralised management dashboard for open wrt that is easy to use and set up like the Ubiquiti ecosystem.
Well, there is one, but easy to use and setup is a different story. check out OpenWisp2. You might like it. Easy is relative...so maybe.
Pfsense for routing and truenas for storage. Love jitsi!
That's an awesome setup!
You are really Awesome :)
Thank you so much 😀
Thanks for another great video. Keep up the good work. Just curious about the hardware you are using for the faceplates with OpenWRT.
I use the TP-Link EAP615. They are really great, hidden, and unnoticeable in my home for the most part.
How is RustDesk different from Teamviewer, it's not open source
RustDesk is open source. Here's the licensse file github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/blob/master/LICENCE. It's AGPL v3. TeamViewer is not open source.
can you browse Navidrome by folders?
Do you mean in the filesystem itself? No.
@@AwesomeOpenSource oh that's a bummer -_- I've been searching for opensource alternative to Synology Audio Station, but so far no luck..
Brill stuff thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Almost missed part two!!!!!
Glad you found it my friend!
Have you done anything with Blackarch
I have not. Wanted to see about Pen Testing at one point, but just never got into it enough from a time perspective.

Rockstor is using OpenSuse Leap under the hood? Good choice, the most reliable systems I'm running are on Leap, love for opensuse forever
Yep, it's pretty awesome.
@@AwesomeOpenSource how can you compare this to OMV? what pros and cons can you see on both ones?
They both do things quite well. I think the hardest part of a NAS is that people don't knwo what a storage pool is, why you need to create one, or what a volume is, and how you make it. If anyone would simply create a nice walk through in their system to help you through the process and explain that a volume can be a subset of the pool, and the pool can be a partial drive, 1 drive, or many drives in some sort of RAID, I mean that would be the real game changer.

26:08 cries in mesh central
I think MeshCentral is awesome as an RMM. it's definitely more suited to that for my uses, where RustDesk is great as an Remote Desktop Support tool.
What mail client you use with mail in the box?❤
I use Thunderbird, or the web client RoundCube. It's imap, so you can use any client that supports it.
I wonder why so many communities run off of Discourse these days.....
It's good. I think it's as simple as that. It's really really good, gets regular updates, and has a ton of administrative control.

Is that a note for you to go back and look?
@@AwesomeOpenSource 😁
Hahah! Linux ISOs, sure!
I mean, what would you use it for? ;-)
...what kind of bad things were they doing?
If you mean email server users, spamming like crazy.
👍
Thanks.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you.
+1 for the salty sea servers
Yep, they are prety great.
sad but nothing here for me to use.
That is sad. Did you see part 1, maybe I found something there?
Who has the time for all this. Can you have a job at the same time? It looks like a playpen. It's all good if it works for you.😀
