FYI @digiblr. You can add notes to the docker container entries in Unraid using advanced view and the "Overview" field within the container edit screen.
You can set your plex to use a fix size of RAM too using extra parameters field in the advanced ---mount type=tmpfs,destination=/tmp,tmpfs-size=20000000000 --no-healthcheck will set aside 20GB RAM for transcoding
Thanks for the great vid. I recently switched from Home Assistant core in a venv to running it in Docker and have been looking for more fun docker containers to add ever since. I like having control of the containers vs using HAOS. Unraid looks great too. I'm running my setup in Ubuntu in WSL now (I know lol). Once i get some extra hardware I want to try with unraid after seeing this! Thanks again!
I would say the only thing bad now with Unraid is the new licensing. I love managing the containers all myself though, it has allowed me to miss out on issues and keep things setup exactly like I want.
super nice bro - thx. My few cents: 1- I found EMQX to perform better than Mosquitto to I moved to EMQX 2- NodeRed - I have ZERO automations in HA - all (200+) in NR 3- HA: mine is OS on Proxmox but with no addons - all in containers like yours but I prefer HAOS than container HA 4- InfluxDB - like MariaDB - I use these databases not exlusively for HA so I use web GUI for both 5- I took another path: all-NAS on low specs CPU with 64GB RAM and 4x 2.5Gbps NICs with TrueNAS and pool on HDDs and another pool on SSD, while all VMs/CTs on high specs Ryzen 9 with 96GB RAM Proxmox. 6- oh, and Czkawka - that must be something Polish and it is pronounced "Tshkavka" - a hiccups ;-) And last: I prefer Jellyfin than Plex but that is a kind of taste of course ;-)
Interesting to hear someone advanced as yourself like HAOS and not manage it all yourself. I highly agree on the EMQX change after I had the issue with retained packets like many have had on later versions. It's on my list to change now. I haven't switched to JellyFin yet but I have messed around with it a last year. They didn't have a built in external exposure method at the time and the navigation on Android TV was a little odd to skip ahead 30 seconds. No right arrow bump was annoying. I am keeping an eye on development though.
@@digiblurDIY ha ha ha why do you think I am advanced? I mean: HAOS for me is really a black box - I would prefer to go purely HA in container and everything else as well but... it is just so easy to install HAOS and... forget it. Maybe I am super lazy simply speaking ;-) Truth be told: my house kind of depends on HA now (i.e. heating) and I am not on the position to stay without HA anymore (but I am working on the "contingency plan") That dependency on HA is mainly in these domains: 1- central heating - all thermostats (in radiators) as well as boiler on/off 2- hot water - on/off 3- all zigbee thingis (mainly RGB lamps that have no emergency switch so no HA means no light in garage) Everything else I am well protected with HA going down. That is probably the reason I keep HA as vanilla as possible and everything else I take outside to containers.
I thought Jellyfin vs Plex (or Emby) was a kind of taste until I wanted to share my library with my siblings. Both Plex and Emby are pushing a lot of sharing related features behind a subscription, which is a decision I respect, but won't do it for me... :). Evem downloading library files to the local drive (for poor internet situations) is behind a paywall in plex today.
Good info... always interesting to see what others are running.. I'm going to have to check into the mosquitto persistent data thing, never set that up.. never really had any issues I'm aware of. I'm also on latest. Never heard of that MongoDB.. I'll have to look into that and see if I'd have any use for it.
Your crazy ;) I use a btrfs mirror cache to hold my docker/kvm's, and of course still backup the data regularly. just like the mirror to help prevent any real downtime.
I had the drives to do it but just never migrated it. I probably will redo it later when I test more zfs stuff on the test box first. I can blow that one up without issue.
This is exactly what I need as I'm very new to Unraid and is currently setting it up from scratch. I currently have a Windows server with my Home Assistant on VMWare Workstation, Blue Iris, and Plex on the same Windows server natively installed. My frigate on a separate mini PC. I want to migrate them all on 1 beefy server including the Blue Iris as a VM (GPU Passthrough). Still debating if I will go HA OS or Dockerized Home Assisant but this kinds of give me an overview on what to expect! Please show your setup for Blue Iris as I will probably use the same! Thank you for the video my good sir!
I do have my BlueIris setup on a separate box as I wanted it more standalone. On the HA front, if you don't have any issues managing your own containers, I highly suggest the container method as it has allowed me to miss out on a lot of issues over the years.
Hmm...I'm not seeing it either but the actual project is still there so it appears to be an Unraid issue. Oddly all the icons have changed to random avatars now for the apps. github.com/linuxserver/docker-librespeed/pkgs/container/librespeed
The way they designed it, no idea on the design choice there. It only uses it at boot for the most part. I can say it is pretty cool when moving between hardware but it does have drawbacks.
@@digiblurDIY Hum I'll investigate Unraid, always heard about it and it looks amazing but never tried it myself. The usb flash thing still sounds a little weird to me, but I'm sure it makes sense in some scenarios. I just moved my home server to proxmox but I really miss the option of running docker containers natively which seems to be pretty cool in Unraid. I also tried other user friendly systems like portainer and casaos but still didn't find the perfect match :)
