I would definitely love an in-depth series on your network config with vpn and how-to! I’ve been thinking of doing this for connecting my parents home to mine too.

I would love an in depth video on all of this. Basically starting a home lab 101 Hardware choices Network setup Virtualization setup Security setup Then do a 201 where you go into details of cool tweaks, apps, and things that make life easier. I mean who doesn't want that!? Great video ❤ Setting up homer now!

@RealWorldMaverick 8 месяцев назад

This would be really cool.

@reuben8192 7 месяцев назад

I'm definitely in need of a guide on these topics as well. I've dabbled in this type of tech, but I'm really not a programmer/developer, and don't have the time to learn how. That doesn't make it any less appealing. I currently run home assistant on an old laptop, and have a low-end synology system. It would be great to learn how to better manage the hardware and software a little more. I need a getting started/getting down to basics, instead of the piece-meal approach I've been using.

@RCrosswell 6 месяцев назад

Agreed. With Open Source tech, RU-vidrs have paved the way to show the 'good' tech and this reaps it's benefits forwards for all parties. But all of us who want to build a home lab, have probably started but not gotten far. For instance I have a a Terramaster NAS running TrueNAS but I can never really get the Docker apps to run properly. I have had multiple failed attempts at running Home assistant and NextCloud. I have Photo Prism running but I have lost photos in between syncs. It would be nice to see what hardware is working for you and maybe we can use that as a benchmark for home. I'm a senior IT engineer in my company and have TrueNAS, XCP-NG etc but on enterprise level kit. It's a hard transition to find out what works at home. I might be speaking for a lot of us where we are either Windows lead users but engineer skills. Transitioning to Open Source is a lot harder especially for troubleshooting, but we want to go down the route to hone the skills, save some cash and do things in the right way.

I seriously loved this video! I had no idea you had such a similar background to me. I thought you were only into HA and similar ecosystems. More of this stuff please!

@EverythingSmartHome 10 месяцев назад

HA is actually a fairly recent thing for me (last 5-6 years) in comparison to how long I've been into some other stuff! Appreciate it thanks🙏🏻

@wrozwad 9 месяцев назад

Thx a lot for you video! I'm currently in the middle of renovating my apartment, and it inspired me to create a better "multimedia device box". So, instead of a regular small enclosure for the modem and router, I now have three 19-inch 2U rack boxes :D

@Ddraig62SPD 3 месяца назад

Excellent insight for a newcomer to the homelab/server world. Have just installed TrueNAS Core and upgraded to Scale on a salvaged 2011 desktop machine as an experiment, so I'm just getting a feel for the most popular apps that folks are running before taking the next steps. Really useful overview and nice to hear the Scottish brogue again ( I spent 21 years working in Lanarkshire for one of the few remaining semiconductor facilities before retiring back in my Welsh homeland with my Scottish spouse). Sub'd :)

@Reducer 10 месяцев назад

Good stuff! I've learned a lot from setting up my current Raspberry cluster (which is more of a learning exercise than something I actually do stuff with), but I have some new hardware coming in where I'll start over fresh and use all the stuff I've learned. I do have a TrueNAS running (on metal), I tend to use it to quickly test things due to how easy they are to install there to see if they're something I want to use, and then I make a "real" Terraform config for it to run on the cluster.

@chrisdixon5241 10 месяцев назад

Great video, and very timely as I need to redo my own setup! It slowly evolved, having new bits tacked on, rather that being properly planned and needs tending to. I'd definitely be interested in more in-depth, perhaps covering the hardware and how the various services are deployed and interconnected - for example what is the firewall physically running on and is opnSense running on it or in a container on proxmox and just communicating to it via some APIs.

Thank you so much for doing this video! I would love more homelab videos. I’m also a big fan of Techno Tim. It would be cool to see what hardware you actually have like if you have a server rack set up at home or just more details about the hardware. Also deep dives on connecting and syncing data between the local and remote site would be awesome!

@makanimike 10 месяцев назад

really interesting video! I am definitely interested in more details about what hardware you use in your 2 (4) locations and how you handle all your home automation hardware! I suspect you use vlans, and I am eager to learn about that, since I have no clue, and this will be thing I will eventually do (probably when I move homes next time) Edit: i think it would also be cool to see some of your media related automations. In particular with jellyfin and even getting voice working with it. I'm imagining you could just speak to your home theater. "Let's watch GoT" and then lights dim down, blinds roll down, tv Starts, jellyfin starts the next episode.

@magnuscarlsson6785 10 месяцев назад

As a long time Plex user (with a lifetime PlexPass) I did start looking at Jellyfin, but found the config a little too picky. Would love to see a future video about your (future) migration over to Jellyfin. Maybe that will give me the kick in the arse that I need to turn the container back on and polish the config!

Awesome, you are my goto for TrueNAS. I am going to have to look into Scale. I truly enjoyed it!

@danl6734 9 месяцев назад

What I'd really like to see is a how-to guide on these sort of walk-throughs. Too many youtubers tend to say 'look what I've got' and not actually help the community in getting the same setup. E.G I spent HOURS which I'll never get back.. trying to get Bitwarden on my own infrastructure and got so so so so fed up of issues and roadblocks that I gave up and ended up begrudgingly paying for the cloud version.

@bennie_pie 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for the tour! Snap on Promox, transitioned from Virtual Box, Home Assistant of course, Unifi Access Points, however opted for Heimdall, Tailscale for Vpn (it's flippin amazing), Edgerouter, Cloud Backup and running VS Code Server. Playing with Microsoft Autogen multi AI agent framework with a view to integrating this into my setup using the likes of Claude 2 or perhaps a self a local model. On the to do list is Jellyfin and Nextcloud but need some better hardware first! Keep up the great work on the videos!

@georgeparaskevas8091 9 месяцев назад

Very nice video. Jellyfin is indeed an app to look into. But, what made me give you the thumbs up, was definitly seeing Still Game in your catalog. Bravo.😂

@tin2001 10 месяцев назад

I used to remember IP addresses for stuff... then I started using loads of containers so each service was its own server, and there were way too many and changing relatively often. Now I use a DNS server linked to the DHCP server to create DNS entries automatically. I can remember the Miami Vice themed host names easier than numbers.

@gavintheurquhart 9 месяцев назад

Thank you. Took me too long to get to watch this but it's inspiring. I hope you get to do some walkthroughs of the setups, mainly Proxmox, Opnsense and TruNAS. Oh, and definitely Homer. Never heard of that kind of dashboard. I am blessed/plagued by the very same memory. Passwords, IPs and product activation codes too. Hence my home is useless to anybody but me. I have a continuous worry about what happens if I am no longer there. From a hardware point of view all switches and controls work like normal if HA goes away, but there is so much more. Really hoping you can do some tutorials. Thank you!

@mickdejong 10 месяцев назад

I basically have the same stack running @ home, just also use overseerr for media requests and such. + some other things. Only difference for me with the stuff you run is that I use XCP-Ng as a hypervisor.

@joshcliffejones 10 месяцев назад

Good video! Nice to hear what other likeminded geeks (in a good way) are using! I actually scaled back my IT set up at home a huge amount over the last few years as i just wanted some simplicity and not to have to do my day job out of hours too, not to mention when the electricity prices were sky rocketing! My set up used to sit there sinking back 600W of power...no more! I do still have a little baby "server" (effecient and compact desktop) and a Synology NAS that i use for my media requirements and even then the are most often only on during the cheap electric hours overnight to perform downloads and updates, etc. If i want to watch something hosted on them i have rigged up HA to use WOL :) Other than that, its just a basic Linksys Velop network, layer 2 Netgear switches a Pi 4 for HA and a server running TrueNAS Scale that i only fire up very rarely as it is used for testing personal and work solutions.

@EverythingSmartHome 10 месяцев назад

Haha I used to want that too, then I realised I'd be sad knowing all the things and features I was missing out on so I just accept the power bill for the fun aspect of it! But no there is definitely something to be said for a simple setup!

Awesome video Lewis. Plex has been a self serving dog for years. So what about Kodi? That's what I use. Given my better half is a power freek I am having to downsize a lot of my servers. For example I used to run a big freenas server and a 4bay QNAP. But I largely keep these off (for power consumption reasons) I would love to do everything you said (keeping everything on 24/7), but couldn't help thinking what your overall power use was- with all these servers running 24/7 both at home and off site?? And the cost! And what about UPS backup? What do you use so everything stays clean and up and running during all the power outages? ? Do you run solar? Home battery? Thanks

Great video Lewis, very inspiring! I've been looking to get started with a proper home lab setup for some time now. Any hardware recommendations? Not sure what to get. My general use case would be TrueNAS, Plex/Jellyfin and OPNsense with VPN (and some room for other future projects).

Thanks Tommy! I would probably look into building something with some desktop hardware to be honest, depends on the budget though really! Discord would be a great place to discuss!

@@EverythingSmartHome Cheers. I'll look into it.

Where should it be? In a dryer you mean? Sorry I'm no 3D printing expert so I actually don't know what I've done wrong 😂 if you mean in a dry container, that's far too much effort for me 😆

@@EverythingSmartHome haha, I just had to put a spool in the oven yesterday, because it became too brittle to print😅 I guess if you print the whole spool in a short period of time, it's fine. But if you are like me, with few prints a year, it would probably be wise to put it in a sealable plastic container, though vacuum sealed bags would be better.
