Hi, one of the maintainers of Homarr here. Thanks for the amazing review here. You explained everything very well and easy to understand. Keep it up :)
As amazing as it would be, that wouldn’t be a video, it would be an EDITED 10 hour tutorial I imagine. Probably over a week of planning, recording, and editing for that one. Big ask. Hopefully he will with how popular the video is
@@JeronimoStilton14 He doesn't need to tell you how to set up every app - just how to integrate it into Homarr that is a 10 minute video. The video of how to install, set up, mesh and integrate everything might be a bit longer...
I really love the state of piracy and the state that so many pirates use. So many popular tools are legitimate in that they have legitimate uses. But in practice...
Overseerr looks great! Seems super easy to use, you just request something and the admin drives to his local store, buys the bluray and rips it for you 👀 Game changer!
WHAT?! There's a new Futurama season and I was oblivious to it?! 10 years without one and I get the news from a home server video on youtube... you made my day :)
I would love a walkthrough of your home networking setup! I'm trying to get my own homelab off the ground but the sheer number of possible networking configurations has me absolutely stumped as to how I should proceed. Furthermore, this aspect of homelabbing seems highly underreported--folks are happy to list the applications they run and the environments (kubernetes, docker compose, etc) but fail to mention how they configure their underlying network, where the ingress points are for the services, and just how external requests end up being routed. Having your point of reference would be great!
Agreed, I would love to move my very basic setup on my desktop running off two hard drives to a NAS in the next month or two and absolutely love this setup just wouldn't know where to start @@GnobarEl
How do you back everything up? You should make a quick video on that. I'd love to see what your back up process looks like. That's a ton of applications.
Love the video, thank you. Not to be terribly pedantic, someone already pointed out the mispronunciation of Deluge, and this one is forgivable especially if anyone suffers from dyslexia... but it's por-tain-er (POR at the beginning)...not pro-tain-er (Not PRO at the beginning).
Really enjoyed seeing this thank you. I am wanting to use Unraid but I don’t want to use a parity drive. It’s annoying all the warnings when you don’t. So ended up using just a Ubuntu server with portainer. But managing docker updates is nightmare. I’d love to see your watchtower video. Will look into that container.
It's CLI, but I don't even really use that. It will automatically scan for updates every 24hr and handle everything. There are commands for force run it and change the times@@AmazingJ1985
Unraid has a built in VPN manager. You dont need a specific container with a VPN built in. Just set up your VPN in the VPN manager in Unraid settings and select the VPN as the network for the containers. Have you got your indexer routed through the VPN? Also I'm pretty sure deluge is pronounced "del-you-j". As in a deluge of rain. Thats why the icon is a rain drop.
I remember hearing you say that around the 3 minute mark. Thanks for the reply and the video! Lost my manners and forgot to thank you in the first message. I'm getting started with hosting some services on an old dell running proxmox, but with ram and cpu limitations, there's not a whole lot I feel comfortable running on it. After watching the first few minutes it had me wondering which is why I made the comment. Thank you sir!
a proper installation of jellyfin, sonar etc. using homer or other dashboard with all the media codecs installed. id love if u can make a video on it :)
@@massimodematteis7390 yeah but where do put this docker to, he mentioned like three different systems he has, everyone knows synology but the rest are mot that popular. This is what id like to know more about and how to set them all up in one home system
There are a hundred tutorials out which explain step by step what you need to do. If your ability to problem solve is that limited, this might not be the hobby for you. You will encounter bugs and problems here and there, and you will have to put in the time to understand the basics or at least how to make educated google searches.
Not trying to take away from this channel but I'd be willing to bet he'd agree with me... SpaceInvader1 has stupidly informative walkthroughs for Unraid.
"addicted to having access to a large amount of data" It's official. You're a robot. Probably from the same factory as Mark. Seriously though. Useful video. And homarr has made its way into my NAS now 🤣
but i am seriously interested in your firewall and database setup! the problem with such services is that no-one talks about them so for many (unexperienced) users they have some hellfire going on.
Hi Please create a video to set up the home ubuntu server and to access it from other networks like the droplet of digitaloceans, EC2 of AWS etc. It's a humble request. Thanks for your great content
Wild to click on a random recommended video and see that the creator lives not far from me lol. That construction near the Airway KFC needs to get finished already!
Fantastic video, you have a new sub! You made me discover Mealie and Kasm, and I'm sure they would be a blast to use. A question: so you are managing backups all through the Synology NAS? It has the ability to backup to cloud also every app data? Because I've put tons of service and data on my NAS (is simply a Raspberry Pi 4 powered one) but I'm looking for a complete 3-2-1 backup solution: losing data and configs would be a disaster. I still haven't found something GUI-based, delta backup and easy to use that allow uploading these backup to a third party storage. I guess we are all underestimating backup until is too late :/
Great video , thanks! Just one comment, you keep saying "Protainer" with a ''PRO'' at the beginning. it is called "Portainer" with "PORT" at the beginning.
the video was very informative and interesting. thank you very much. Just one detail: the background with the unequal parallel distances between the hexagons is driving me crazy ;-)
This is very insightful, thank you for sharing. I have two different computers setup as servers in my home lab...one running docker with Portainer and the other running Proxmox. Not the most consistent setup but it's working at the moment 😅
This is so far beyond my skill level but I'm deeply intrigued. I'm going to build a home server and home lab. I have an Dell Studio XPS from 2007 that I want to rebuild as a project. Hopefully from there I can figure out what I'm doing with the server.
Ahhhh man you know all those time when you are in your pajamas in the evening chillin on your sofa and someone in your family send a request for a film and you gotta ran to the nearest blockbuster to rent it and took it home..................... bad times. Aaaaanyway, nice video but i don't see a must have for you: tailscale. It's a docker application and plugin ( use the plugin ) for unraid ( and every OS possible actually). Your Welcome ;)
Great video!! Didn't know about the recipe software. Will be a great addition to my home lab. Can you make a video about setting up NZBGET from start to finish?
One of the fundamental issues I've run into is that I can direct my VMs or Dockers to go through VM (Wireguard or OpenVPN) however, they NEVER route internet traffic through the VPN; they connect to the VPN just fine, but traffic they take in/out of the internet never goes through the VPN, which is way less than ideal. Everything looks correct; I've debated whether or not I need to just attach another NIC to the Proxmox box, create a new bridge for it, and then use only that as a test.
I’d be interested in a shootout between Kavita and Calibre to compare features. I use Calibre on my Macbook and never heard of Kavita outside of this video.
Is there a video covering nbz? Got Deluge working thru unraid similar to his setup (probably not as great, very new lol) but unsure on the network being another docker container, news servers, etc.
My Synology is ancient and underpowered, so I think I'll set up Unraid on my old PC and get to worry about importing it all. Anywho, I wanted to Mention Prologue for anyone looking to host audiobooks. I can keep them within Plex and still manage them by author or make collections, but the iOS app is perfection.
@TechHut is there a video on how to set it from the start, like starting from an empty server and install process to get it in this state, there may be no need to get to every single app, just one or maybe a few will be sufficient? If not do you plan on doing it, I have some hardware, but I need to figure out the software side of it. Thank you for all content and keep it up!
Hey man, really appreciate the video and this kind of content. If one would run all of these services in one machine what sort of base hardware would you recommend? Cheers mate.
As much as i think it would be neat to have a home server, I don't really see myself using /any/ of this on a daily basis. I could be wrong, maybe once it was setup I'd find myself using it, but right now I don't see it. Most of this is just for handing the media library, which I don't have much use for, as most of my media watching I just do on my PC. I don't have a tesla. On other videos I've seen stuff for home automation which I also don't have. I have no need for web hosting. Basically a home server is for either having something run all the time without keeping your main system running or tying up resources, or for granting access to something from multiple locations. I don't really have any need for either of those so a home server doesn't make much sense for me. I can think of a few occasional uses, but nothing that'd I'd use daily off the top of my head.
love your video and trying to add a bunch of your suggestion to my network, can you answer one question for me? how do you add the docker intergration in homarr with portainer im stuck on that part. also i just started with docker and portainer so im a total noob.
I do it by pointing apps, that happen to be in docker containers, at the shared storage where the media is. It's the apps that do the work, the fact that the apps are in containers is incidental.
UPDATE: Many of you have asked for more detailed on the Hardware! Here is a full overview: th-cam.com/video/XiiHmeOekQo/w-d-xo.html

11:31 Dude is very strategically navigating a legal minefield right here. Well played.
Right. If someone requests a new movie the administrator can go out and buy the DVD and rip it. 😅
@@TheDayWalkerOfficial Yup, and Deluge is obviously just for linux ISOs
I really love the state of piracy and the state that so many pirates use. So many popular tools are legitimate in that they have legitimate uses. But in practice...
Idk, ripping encrypted media is also illegal technically. Bypassing DRM. Trade one illegality for another.

I like that your grandma has access to your Plex. I literally subbed for that.
From your video I learned that Futurama was renewed! I had no idea they brought it back, yeay!
I loved this video! Would you mind showing us how to setup everything from scratch? I would definitely love to see that!
I'm with you!
Grab a spare old laptop. Install all kinds of stuff on it and need around. Break things if you like, you learn and curate your own tools

Unraid has a built in VPN manager. You dont need a specific container with a VPN built in. Just set up your VPN in the VPN manager in Unraid settings and select the VPN as the network for the containers.
Have you got your indexer routed through the VPN?
Also I'm pretty sure deluge is pronounced "del-you-j".
As in a deluge of rain. Thats why the icon is a rain drop.
I laughed when he said divulge 😂 I'd say it's more pronounced de-luge. Like a luge 🛷
That’s the first time I have seen Kasm. It looks cool. I will try it out in my test docker environment
Thanks for the tips, especially the dashboard and Kasm. I'm particularly blown away by Kasm as installed on my Raspberry Pi 4 with 8Gb
how did you install it
Do you have a video of your home lab hardware? I'd love to see what these services are running on.
I'm going to be making that video next :) it's not too complex at all. Synology NAS, TerraMaster with UNRAID, and a newer Intel NUC.

Would Like To See More Of The Hardware Side Of Things
Get yourself some Folders on that Docker Tab on your UnRaid instance. Cleans things up a bit.
Nice video, gave me a ton of inspiration for some of the layouts and dashboards. Some of your pronunciations were cracking me up.
Well done!

13:00 Very smooth 😎
every video is a masterclass in content creation and delivery!
Great vid! Fyi it's 'PORtainer', not 'PROtainer, and 'deLuge' not 'deVulge' 🤗
Now we need a guide on how to setup everything from scratch, from hardware to software and how to make it all work together
It's really simple the guide will be like 1 minute long 😂
You download the docker images you want and in homarr you just add api keys or login details

I watched your video from last year and was thinking “wish he’d make a more recent one”. Alas, here we are. Amazing.
I just set up a server so was looking exactly for this video
The body keeps score is a must read. Glad to see another IT guy having it.
i cant understand why people would want to have light theme on anything its so blinding
only exception is ereaders for me, and even then dark mode can look good too if the ereader supports it well;
Turn down the display brightness. Problem solved.
I love the light theme. Have it on every service I run that supports it.
I used to use Android Studio in light mode when I was a new dev. My eyes have never recovered.
I prefer dark mode for UI but I support people having the freedom to make decisions even if they’re wrong.
Love this walkthrough! But please for the love of god stop saying Portainer as “Protainer”.
Saying "Deluge" as "Divulge" got me..
"addicted to having access to a large amount of data"
It's official. You're a robot.
Probably from the same factory as Mark.
