Best UA-cam content I've seen this year.
This covers automation, something very important to me as this is my thing, as is also Docker, Virtualisation and self-hosting, communications and AI. What is there not to like in this video.
I really like the pace, things sped up with music overlay when appropriate, very slick, with the important bits slowed down. Very professional.
DBTech rocks !
Great video as always my friend. This actually reminds me of the N8N that runs in docker. Almost like a cloned version with some changes. Ill be adding it to my stack that already has N8N, and testing to see if it may be a better workflow system for me. Thanks you brother.
I'm a big automation geek, so this was great!
I’d never heard of this software. It’s amazing - open source!
This is so cool!! Lots of stuff to play around with over the long weekend. Keep it up DB!
👏 You've got a new sub. 🙏 Thank you for this practical application walk-through... Greatly appreciated! 🖖
thank you very much bro, your helpful video has allowed me to install actievepieces. Disclaimer : this message hasn't been the output of activpieces automation (yet) : ) !
Yeah long but complete video.! I really enjoyed.
Glad you enjoyed it! Sometimes videos just gotta be long.
Really awesome app! Very useful
great video sir
how to self host this on AWS?? please make a video
Great stuff! I just have to figure out the CF tunnel part and see if I can get it to work outside my house lol
That's how I'm using it. Just set up your tunnel agent like normal and put it on a url. no need to add that url to anything in the ActivePieces config
Thanks for telling about this project! I will definitely try it out in the future. Seems like a very useful tool. I wonder if it can replace IFTTT in some tasks...
Of course it can... ifttt is for basic tasks. This is similar to zapier. Much more capable. Watch the video
Would it be possible to put this behind traefik instead of using ngrok?
Great video as always
I get this error after running the docker compose for some reason:
Error response from daemon: invalid mount config for type "volume": invalid mount path: '[/usr/src/cache,' mount path must be absolute
You should take a look through their Github for this. Might already be an answer there. If not, I would open an issue.
sir please make a video on how to self host AP on AWS ec2 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
cool video!
How you upload the thumbnail of a video to mastodon?
I get a error 500 (failed generate thumbnail of uploaded media)
Any suggestions on how to install Active Pieces on the cloud?
Find a cloud provider you like that supports Docker. Set up a node or whatever they call it that has 4+ cores, 8GB RAM, however much storage you're going to need. Then spin this up as shown in the video
How much system resorces does this use?
I have a server I'm paying for hosting a Wordpress tubesite on an wanting to add this onto its limited resources.
That's going to depend on what you're asking of your setup. I've got 4 CPU cores, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of hard drive space for mine. I've only got 1 automation running and I'm using about 1.6GB of RAM on my ActivePieces VM.
@@DBTechYT thanks for the quick reply, yeah I noticed my docker uses close to that with nothing running. Guess I'll go for a plan for now.
They just released an update 4 days ago. Before I destroy my container....... LOL! Do you have a video on updating?
I update the docker compose file to the newest version and redeploy. I've done it several times without issue. You definitely want to clear out the old images to save disk space since they're like 5gb each
@@DBTechYT THANKS! Worked perfect.
@@DBTechYT another question, are you using Activepieces to post to Twitter or LinkedIn? I've tried a bunch of triggers including imap, Wordpress Post and aitable to get a post created in those with text and an image. I can get the text to post but can't seem to get the image to work. Tried asking in their discord and community forums but haven't gotten any response to that or not being able to setup Facebook. Any alternatives to AP you've looked at?
Probably a moronic question but what system are you using to install it? Is it personal PC with Windows 10? Linux? Or is it some sort of cloud hosting environment?
My desktop is Windows 10. The set up is an Ubuntu VM on Proxmox. On that VM I've installed Docker and with Docker I've installed ActivePieces. You can do this in Docker without Proxmox, but it's the environment I have set up for my homelab because it's got an amazing backup solution.
@@DBTechYT thanks for getting back to me. Seems like very techy setup. I think for now I'll just stick to their hosted option until the need for big numbers of automation arises. I also saw a comment here that it is pretty resource-demanding so I guess need a pretty beefy PC to run a lot.
Hi, any ActivePieces freelancer here ?
You'd be better off asking in their GitHub or other related community places
Yes but I'm very expensive
Please do tiledesk installation.. please
Love your videos. Helps me alot. And also, FIRST COMMENT and LIKE.
Thanks! I appreciate you!
