Can you plz show how to setup NordVPN in a container? I can’t find a video on this and no vpn matches there speeds sadly or how to use it with wire guard.
Nord are security specialist don't make me laugh, they got hacked and all there clients passwords where in plain English. Nord is one of the worst VPN's most of which are owned by one company, do some research on your sponsors before you accepted them plz or just grab the cash and lie to your subscribers.

I rarely comment on videos, but I had to say thank you for going through each step (including searching google etc.) to help me understand the thought process as well as the steps you were going through to get to where you are. The pacing and editing of this video is perfect for me. Can't wait for the next parts in the series. Thank you for all the work you put into this video.
👍
Thanks!! Glad to hear that’s helpful!
Showing mistakes actually helps, those are common traps people fall into when following a guide and this gives them a heads up to pay extra attention to certain areas.
@@watvannou Agree! We learn from mistakes, and hopefully those are the mistakes of others ;-)
Great video! I have been checking different videos to do this and yours provides lots of details!
Couldn't have said it better myself. Great great Video.
I absolutely love these types of videos. The walk through is perfect. Mess-ups or mistakes are just learning opportunities for ALL. Great work.
This is my favorite computer-oriented channel. I love the simplicity of your videos, the relaxing atmosphere and the straight-forward explanations. Top quality stuff right here, keep striving to improve and reach your goals. 60k in 2 weeks if you keep this up!
Great video! I love how you do not shy away from showing your mistakes and that you show your thought process and research steps for fixing problems. It definitely makes the video more relatable and better for newer users. Cant wait for Part 2!
Thanks! Means a bunch
Exactly! Every other video is like "you just click this and you're done!" For me I click and get an error 😂😂😂
Your the 1st one to help under stand Wireguard as a hobbyist, and your tutorial are awesome
Excellent work dude, really enjoyed the whole hour, and really learned that quicker and more practical way to set up wireguard using docker, I did set up wireguard before but in a VM and did all the installation manually, but with portainer and docker seems to be really cool and much easier once you understand what you are doing of course. look forward to 2023 and more videos. All the very best in 2023!
Hey I just want to say this video was a huge help. I've been migrating my old proxmox host to a new one, and you had a lot of good poinrters that got me up and running.
this is AN AMAZING video, looking forward to see the chapter 2, and I LOVE all the mistakes! Especially that you have solved them online
i will be returning back to this video to do some of the things uve got here, like adding portainer and wireguard, and for when I build my new homelab, love your vids
This video is amazing. I work on a complete different field but I always liked to mess with PCs and this is a great simple and explanatory video to configure basic stuff on our home servers and get us up and running. Thanks!!
Glad you liked it 👍🏻
I'm just looking into proxmox for the first time and i intentionally looked for this kind of video from your channel because I think your style is ideal for a first real look at stuff that is on the face of it a bit intimidating to the entirely uninitiated
great video series! as others have mentioned I like that you keep the human element in them of making mistakes and learning as you go, I have rarely made any kind of hardware or software install and things went exactly like directions or tutorials, I think its encouraging to see this for folks just starting out especially.
Thanks! This saved me a lot of effort. Please continue to make these long-form instructional videos!
WOAH Thanks! Will do 👍
I started with Prox, then switched to TrueNAS Scale, now back to Prox and looking to put TrueNAS on a VM on prox which is what brought me here. A couple tips I recommend though are running Turnkey Linux as an LXC to spin up your docker instance. Much faster to start/restart and simple once you do a couple. I'm running 4 or 5 instances for home services, gaming, testing, random. Another tip is for Portainer. Instead of adding each variable line by line using the cli commands, copy/paste the docker-compose info in to a new Stack (Portainers version of docker-compose). Then just edit the variables you'd like. I always thought stacks were groupings of containers but it can be done for single container as well. I find it makes it MUCH easier to edit and redeploy a service as well. Thanks for the video though, the TrueNAS part was exactly what I was looking for.
How come you switched back to proxmox after moving? I was just considering jumping to TrueNAS Scale ;)
Incredible work! I now have a much better grasp of what Proxmox is how ideally I'd like to setup my homelab. Thanks a ton!
Of all the other tech channels, this has helped sway me to upgrade to this route. Appreciate it bud.
Hey colten!
Its about a year and a month later from when the video's where uploaded.
If you could remake the video's what changes would you make in the vm's (like other operating systems and containers) and maybe hardware?
Would like to hear the awnser!
Thanks UA-cam, how did I miss this wonderful walkthru!?
I had been planning to go down a very similar route with a minor twist. I was running TrueNAS Scale on bare metal and decided it was a waste of the resources on that machine. I took backups and snapshots and made darn sure I could see all the data from the ZFS Pool and plunged in. TrueNAS got installed just as you described in your video, then I IMPORTED the existing ZFS pool and behold, existing data was all there. Then I restored a saved TrueNAS config and now shares, users and settings were all back. The only difference is now TureNAS is virtualized and I can do other things with the resources on this machine. This eases a common fear with everything in the home lab: "How easy will it be to recover from a catastrophic failure?"
Thank you for walking through this so thoroughly!
i used to have bare metal truenas too but it was too much for one machine it was slugish so in the end i end up splitting into 2 server a proxmox server and a truenas server. the truenas run data intensive things like nextcloud, jellyjin and backing up stuff from proxmox and most cloud service end up on proxmox instead (Minecraft pi hole discord bot linkstack vikunja linkstack teleport etc.) if I don't run this much stuff I would probably go with a very similar route too
Incredible. Thanks for putting time and efforts into this tutorial
Good stuff. I did this a couple of years ago and it turned out great. I was impressed with the quality of Dell business PC's and really love ICY Dock. One bonus was it came with Intel vPro onboard, which has the functionality of a light's out/IPMI board, so you can have remote KVM.
Thanks for making these videos super simple to follow along and I don't really lose focus while watching them plus neat voice ig?
Awesome stuff in two of your videos I learned a lot about tools I was missing: Proxmox, Portainer, Solar Putty (I use Windows Terminal for now) and more. I think I'll install Portainer for now over my Supermicro with Debian 12. Thanks!
Excellent work. I might actually use this video as a template guide for my own homelab server, since the ubuntu raid1 disks have been having some GRUB issues. I like the idea of running Proxmox as a base, with TrueNAS and Portainer running under it instead.
Okay! You've inspired me. I have an older server with an AsRock e3c224 motherboard that's been gathering dust.
I think I'll get it out and mess around with some of this stuff too. Thanks for your content!
Thanks you for that video, finally I see a way to have a good coexistence of Proxmox and TrueNAS. Before I tried to use one or the other...
Really great video, with so many useful info in it. One little tip for you to deploy wireguard easier. Copy from the site the docker-compose command block of text and then in portainer under STACKS tab, click add stack, give a name for the stack, paste the text you copied and press deploy stack. No need to translate all the commands into gui
Definitely looked more into stacks after seeing this, and I can’t believe I missed it haha. Just used it for a personal project. Thanks!
docker compose ftw
Ths is the first video I found about Proxmox which doesn't ignore hardware. Good video! Thanks!
Absolutely perfect step by step guide, you sir deserve a like and a subscription
This whole video is like a beautiful mind-map. Thank you for making it!
That sounds much better than “a rambling mess” haha. Thanks!
this was the best, most productive series I've watched in a while.....
Very cool setup. I appreciate the clarity.
Very helpful! Looking forward to using the my NAS share as storage for my docker volumes
Awesome video, i messed up some steps, like mounting truenas share on debian, or installing portainer business instead of consumer, but i always managed to come back on track! Thank you!
Waiting for part 2. 🎉 thank you for your beautiful video !
It's already live!
ua-cam.com/video/BoMlfk397h0/v-deo.html
I think this is what I need ☺️ thanks for sharing. Now I have the idea how to setup my data server
great video, and love the fact that you're really going in step by step.
Thanks!
I was just looking at this exact model of computer on Ebay and thinking of turning it into a home server... you read my mind! After this video, I think I'll go for it.
Hahaha who knew I was telepathic
instructions not clear... FBI showed up at my door
Just 2 minutes into the video and scrolled down to comment section and they were quality so i subbed straight away haha
amazing, thanks for sharing so many great tools, I don't knew the portainer and ventoy.
I recently got another PC that I wanted to use for something like this so this is the perfect tutorial!
Oh nice! What did you get?
@@HardwareHaven a small form factor HP prodesk because I live with someone who doesn't appreciate big PCs everywhere 😂
It has a 8th gen i5 I believe so hopefully it'll be able to keep up
Oh nice, yeah that should be great
This video is so great that I had to watch it twice.
Great video! been doing this at night after work hours, please make more of these videos!
I think around the 23:40 mark you can see that I set the IP address of the TrueNAS machine to that IP. So I’m mounting the network share from the IP to a specific folder in Debian
G8 efforts taken by you to present easy n simple understanding
I love freaking love stuff like this, subbed
Quite nice, I was really looking for something like this. Quick question: would promox be needed if you only had portainer and truenas? If everything was Linux-based (Linux kernel would be a common denominator) I suppose there could be a way to run everything in a more optimized way for slightly worse hardware. On the other end, I have the impression promox is quite common for reasons. Could you also have your pihole here without too many issues? Would pihole be installed in portainer or on promox?
this is exactly what I need. thanks for making this video. subscribed.
i have been looking for a video like these for a long time ,tnx.
Well done. If your only a hobbyist I’d say you think to little of your skills. I’ve have hired IT professionals that are far less competent than what you displayed here. Being able to research and find the solution is the single most valuable skill in IT and proxmox is a relatively advanced hypervisor so, seriously well done. Glad to see folks putting things like this out so others are less intimidated by technology. Keep up the good work!
thanks as it put out the flames in my "ordeal by fire" as Im very new to server hardware having just bought some neat early IBM blades :-) (71 years of CPU blood sweat and toil)
Seriously, thank you so much for making videos like this.
Wow, thanks! Glad I could help
Appreciates your works man 🎉! Useful contents and save my life.
God !!!!!
This is a really valuable UA-cam content.
Pure knowledge and method.
Best regards !
"which ever one makes you more upset"..😆 That bit of gold was worth a comment and sub on it's own!
Nice step by step video. Thank you for your work. You have one more suscriptor, for sure 😛
Looking forward to the win10 remote gaming and plex transcoding (was this on your plans?) parts. By for now
This is so cool ! I just got into servers and i had this old pc i bought for less than $ 100 USD. Great pc ! I7 4790k, 16gb ram, 2tb hdd, with an amd rx 460. Great pc for a server. I've never heard of proxmox before now. Lol. I will give this a try ! I also bought 16gb more of ram and, replaced the psu with a very trusted gold 600 watt psu.
I hopw thos works oit great ! 👍 . Thanks for the tutorial. Ill be real busy this weekend 😂.
Thanks for this video. I have a Dell server that I wanted to repurpose for true nas and other stuff and this video will be helpful in converting it to nas plus stuff
Excellent video! One question, why did you set up a separate Debian VM for running Portainer instead of running it on TruneNAS and then only care of a single VM?
That was really cool thanks. Hopefully in the very near future I can attempt step one over the course of month. Lol. Awesome video walking through it all as you went, especially with the woopsies. Sudo or not sudo! That is the question?
Hey! I'm they guy that always hosts game servers for the bois. Started back then with old laptops and kind of grew on it (god bless second hand office sales) and now I'm a official tech hoarder. Lately bought my self a Lenovo TS440 5U oven box with 8x 2.5 SAS/SATA bay, e3 1226 v3, and raid card (intel RS2BL080) almost for free and I took it as an opportunity to build solid NAS, all fans are shot and sound like boing 737. Ordered 32gig ecc, e3 1281 v3, and I'm thinking to get true nas/UEFI competable HBA card since getting RAID card working in HBA is hard mode quest of ancient dwarven technologies.
Man I really love your content and you inspire me to grow!
Good colten as usual, let's take a look at the next part!
nice, just setup my own little nuc cluster with proxmox! good timing
i got it all running on my i3-7100 with 16gig ram, 1 tb nvme, 480gb ssd sata, 500gb hdd.
too bad my isp close any access on port forwarding so i go with tailscale instead..
thanks mate, the tutorial was easy and simple..
keep up the good work sir
Thanks I will be using this to setup most of my new to me dell t330 server.
exactly what I've been hoping to do with my setup - would like to have win10 gaming performance but utilise the extra storage and capability to run services such as nextcloud. looking forward to rest of the series
It was wild when I realized you could plug in an HDMI or displayport to the passed through GPU then pass through kb+m and sit at your server and game right on it.
Thanks for the demo and info, have a great day
Thanks, you too!
Thanks for the video. I am starting a build with Lnevo TS140 I acquired. It was from a fire with just smoke damage. It cleaned up great. The price was right (free).
It has the Xeon W-1250@3.3 32gig memory.
Your video inspired me to go the Proxmox/TrueNAS route. BTW, Thanks again.
My question, what forums, discords channels, etc that fit the homelab/Proxmox category?
Oh Boy! Do I love my Synology NAS which does all of this in a blink of an eye!
YAY, i just got the 2.5 GB pcie card installed. and the NAS IS SOOO FAST.. thank you so much for making this video
Nice! Hope it continues to work well for tou
@@HardwareHaven seriously this is the best tutorial i have watched (and re-watched) in years. I was able to easily follow and make my own tweaks along the way. Kudos my friend.
Hey @HardwareHaven! love the great guides! Just from my experience a hint for the future: at 8:30 if you select IGD and enable "Multi-Monitor Support" you should be able to have both integrated (intel) Graphics AND the nvidia GPU for your VM. Not a pro with VM but spent a fair share of time in ASUS' Bios with the same options to use secondary screens plugged into the Mainboard, since chinese DP to EDP adapters don't support Nvidia GPU output😋
i may do something like this in the near future because this stuff really interests my inner geek : D
I recently built my own nas with a 8 bay hotswap case by SIlverStone. I decided 4x4tb drives was a good start in RAID Z1, and holy shit I was wrong on how much storage I needed. I need much more as I only have 3.2TB remaining of the 12TB usable
You may wanna edit the docker daemon config so that the portainer volume is on the truenas share. Nice video, it's great to see all the steps for once :)
Hi Hardware Haven ! I just wanted to say I appreciate how well done your videos are!!! So informative, easy to understand and with perfect flow :)
P.S Please never change the intro/background music, I love how relaxing it is, goes nice with a coffee in the morning :)
I don’t plan on it! And thanks
I learned a few things, thanks! 🙂
Nice video. I like that you didn't just edit out the mistakes that you made, unlike some youtubers.
What you see is what you get around here haha
That drive bay dock is very cool. Might have to look at that.
They're a bit pricey, but very cool!
@@HardwareHaven I really enjoy your videos. I recently purchased/installed the "Express Cage" version from Icy Dock. I was like a little kid on Xmas morning! All I think about now is how can I get another one and a PCIe sata card for more 2.5" storage without getting the wife upset.
Liked and subscribed, one of the best video on the net, ever!
PCI functions give a card with multiple functions a unique ID in the PCI tree. For example, a quad-port NIC would have 4 functions to allow access to individual ports (if card is wired that way). Another example is a (modern) video card has two functions, the video and audio.
This was roughly my understanding, so I think I was confused why a single NIC would need "all functions". Thanks!
Excellent video thank you. It answered some questions I had.
Glad it was helpful!
haha! Either Sudo pronunciation did not make me upset. You're funny! Looking forward to building my NAS. Thanks!
Only watched 2 minutes 28 seconds so far, but I must commend you on the audio on your video. You actually understand the concept of "background" music and have the level set so that it does NOT interfere with the narration audio, a novel concept which greatly benefits those of us with hearing challenges like, (in no particular order), tinnitus, hearing loss of varying degree in one or both ears, localized background noise at our location, (fans, a/c, traffic, etc.), and put your distraction here. Outstandingly done, never mind that the content is useful also! I must like and subscribe even before I get to the tutorial itself, that is how impressed I am already! Well Done!!!
It's simple and it works. Nothing to add or to criticize about this
Really good video,
can you tell me how I could add a hard drive with data I want to keep to the truenas system?
Also, you said you didn't want to add the hard drives as local storage for reason, but I am curious which one is better? To add the HD as local storage for Prox, or to go through Trunas and do them there?
Hey there!
Thanks so much for your videos.
I would really like to create a server like yours, but I have to ask you something.
Why do you use truenas?
Would it instead be possible to use proxmox for the same purpose and then create pools in raid and then make them available in iscsi?
Thx ;)
Learned a lot, thanks!
Great video, just includes everything i need.
Nice!
You really need some extra cooling for your LSI HBA - it's designed to run in a server case with high volume front-to-back air flow. In a desktop case, the SAS controller with it's tiny heat sink can overheat and disconnect while moving lots of data. One common hack is to attach a low-profile 40mm fan to the heat sink with long nylon bolts.
Yeah, you’re probably right. That could be a fun little project later on
Just found your channel. Excellent Content, another sub for you sir!
Thanks for showing the wireguard setup. I get so frustrated with setup of dockers. Like the volume mapping you did. I wouldn't have a clue what to put in or why.
very clear and useful! Subscribed
Nice!
a macOS KVM would be a treat to see, as long as you have a Kepler based nvidia GPU lying around.
A great video as always!
Thanks for the recommendation!
I have a similar setup for a home server. Salvaged old PC with a bunch of disks running a hypervisor, and NAS as a VM with directly mapped disks/hba. I opted fot VMWare ESXi and OpenMediaVault, but the concept is the same. RAID drives from the NAS are shared to the hypervisor using VM network to provide protected datastore for VMs.
One question: Why share over CIFS to the Linux machine instead of NFS?
I appreciate the HEY LOOK WHAT I DID VIDEOS, I usually find where Phil went wrong lol.
I've been trying to make a TrueNas Scale Server at home on a Sweet Gigabyte MB w/ an AMD 2200G & 16Gig RAM.
I can get everything to install like a Dream, but I can NEVER get the VM's to show me a Display right there on the system, noVNC I believe it uses by Default...
I was at the same DeadEnd with ProxMox, then I found TrueNas Scale: I think it looks amazing and decided to try that instead: And same Results... lol
I cant get a VM to show me a Display to save my life, so Hurrah to You! LOL
thank you. excellent tutorial.
Before I watched this video, I had no thought of using ProxMox in my next server. I'm currently running TrueNAS Core as my NAS and it also runs Plex Server, albeit, an outdated version. Now I'm thinking I want to install ProxMox and then run TrueNAS as a VM on it.
Something that may be a good topic for you is replacing Portainer with Dockge. In my opinion Dockge is safer as it actually saves containers in a way that you can easily backup and move between systems. Its methodology for managing containers is actually how I've been doing my management before Portainer was a thing.
thanks for these videos! love them.
I dont have a second computer to use as a home server alone... but I do want to use Proxmox on my PC, so I can use Windows or Linux + TrueNAS Core... do you think there's a downside to this? or should I just do a ZFS pool on proxmox itself? (or even give up and wait to have a dedicated pc as a server?) Thanks!
I have my own nordpass it's called notepad and proper backups. I change important passwords every month and unimportant stuff every 6 months. 3,2,1 backup.
