God bless you abundantly, you are a great teacher, i use your techniques of teaching because you are awesome
While I passed on installing Houston on my two rpi home servers, I did put in Cockpit and I like it. Thank you for the convienent tool.
Every time Jay says "Cool" take a shot. You will not make it to the end of the video. ;)
sounds like a fun game
Cool!
Great video! I've wanted to check out Houston for some time now, nice to see it can be pretty straight forward! I do want to note that in the section for Houston, you mentioned that the Virtual Machine management portion was new, compared to Cockpit. You can actually get the same functionality in standard Cockpit by going to Application and installing it from there :)
Houston came preinstalled on my HL15, I really tried to use it, but as an Arch Linux user I didn't want to learn Rocky (RHEL), I wanted a NAS, so I installed TrueNAS (Scale), and treat it as an appliance.
Hey Bill! (0r1x from 45HL forums). I've done the same, which is a bit of a shame. I really liked the theory behind adding a UI on top of CLI commands, whereas TrueNAS has always felt UI first CLI second.
My frustrations in Houston came from the choice of Winbind for realmd over sssd (I'm no stranger to realmd, but sssd and PAM are the standard these days). As well as only supporting Ubuntu 20.04 and Rocky 8, both which are long in the tooth. Ubuntu 24.04 is right around the corner as well.
I really wish I liked TrueNAS more, but the NFS and SMB permissions have ALWAYS confused me in their UI of both Core and Scale.
great, thanks a lot for your teaching.
Nice video.
All these plugins are available for arch Linux.
File sharing, virtual machine, docker, navigator. Zfs
I use it all on aarch64 except for virtual machine as that's not an option on arm
This was pretty cool
Whenever you say you had fun producing this video, make sure you look it too 😀, never seen anyone looking so sad when saying it😂
Thanks for the video.
Thank you so mach 😊
The only issue I had with cockpit was the SSL version mismatch even when I upgraded it. I still get the "built with (old version) but your running (new bersion) error, butnit works
I love all your videos all your content, but please do a video or a serie of videos about installing arch with script and install fresh hyperland and configure it and make it as a complete taskbar , I think most of people love to see that , you are the only Linux guy that we wait , me and many many persons to do it , so take it in consideration, thank you 🌹
Very cool
Cockpit supports vm mgmt via cockpit-machines package. You do not need Houston for that ;)
Yeah, came to say the same thing. There actually seemed to be quite a few things that seemed like Jay was saying are only available in Houston such as joining a domain and virtual machine management
Has everyone forgotten about webmin?
Hie Jay can you help me how and where i can get that display on your monitor? I really would love to add it to my machine too...
okay i follwed this to the letter. i still land at cockpit. i'm trying to move from true nas to houston. i've even reinstalled rocky 8 twice and started over. I still keep landing at cockpit and i can't import my pool. help if you can
Can you build out a small office network using Linux only, or will AD be needed for user and device management?
Absolutely you can! There are also free alternatives to AD such as FreeIPA or IDM. If you only have a small amount of users you can certainly do local Linux user/group permissions and we have a ton of customers that take advantage of this. - Mitch Hall Chief Architect at 45Drives
I went to setup a dynamic MOTD and I unintentionally installed the RHEL 8 web console. I didn't even know you could do that then this video comes out. Sometimes the simulation is winking at me.
Does the VM option already have VM software installed, or are there additional dependencies to download for it to work with Cockpit/Houston?
Installing the VM module will install required dependencies for you! :) - Mitch Hall Chief Architect at 45Drives
@@mitcHELLOworld Thanks for the response. I sometimes run into optional dependencies that can help more, especially with VM complexities. Good to know you guys are on top of it.
Any solution to protect this for an administrator with a dynamic IP ?
It would be better for Huston to have been based upon webmin, since each time I was between those two, webmin was the clear choice. Even with this add ons from Huston, webmin is better and can manage zfs as well.
They both have their own advantages. They complement one-another. I use both on my physical server. For example. Cockpit is better with managing VMs, webmin is better when dealing with an email server.
Nice tutorial. I still prefer command line utilities to monitor my system.
Would be cool if you could hide the 45Drives stuff from the menu.
thats a feature of cockpit
@@BrickTamlandOfficial 45Drives wrote it into Houston which they created. I would guess they’d have to create the ability to hide those 45Drive menus.
Very easy. Since Houston/Cockpit is module based, you simply uninstall the ones you dont want. - Mitch Hall Chief Architect at 45Drives
It would be interesting if Houston could manage all of my linux servers and not just the machine it‘s installed on. Or is there such a feature?
You can install Houston on multiple machines and manage them all through a single Houston Pane of Glass. - Mitch Hall Chief Architect at 45Drives
No build for Debian Bookworm yet :(
Where is webadmin?
I do not get the point:
all this informations are available by ssh, WITHOUT a web interface with system user accounts.
Why would i install such a vulnerability?
for the web interface
@@night_h4nter yeah, stupid me 🙂we need MORE attack surface!
This video shows me to unsubscribe.
Teaching how to install vulnerabilities -> i can't recommend this channel anymore to people who are interested to learn how to administrate linux servers at all.
@@lonesomewalker It appears he's using Rocky 8, so he may be catering to both the average Linux user, and older hardware that doesn't require more expensive hardware spec. Probably just catering to his wider audience, even with more root-prone access vulnerabilities.
See ya, bye.
LOL. I'm sorry.. this is just hilarious to me. I will literally save my breath. haha
