- I split the video into two parts this year. My list continues to grow, so it's harder to fit it all into a single video of reasonable length. I hope you'll see some amazing open source software that you already love, or want to try. You can find all the links to all of the projects from this video and the previous one on the Show Notes page listed below in the Links section.

Great video as always, very much honored to be featured in this set of apps!
Your software Rocks! I really do love making my show notes these days because of Bookstack.
great content man. Every time I watch your videos I find something new to install, setup and learn.
Glad I'm providing some value to you.
Nice! Part 2, and there are a couple apps I've never used. Thanks for the breakdown! Netmaker particularly, I started setting up according to your video from 7 months ago, but never finished... I guess it's time to get back to that now.
Netmaker has been awesome for sure. Glad you liked the video.
Just stumbled across your channel and Love these 2 videos. You have a great way of presenting. Thank you and you just got a new subsriber, hope you get great success.
Thanks so much! Glad you're on the journey with me!
Just watched both part 1 and 2. Fantastic collection of open source options for things I need or want to run. Thanks for the great content!
I noticed some feature overlap in some of the tools you showed, specifically the remote system managers. I was going to ask about the differences, what your preference is, if each one has it's own use case, etc. But then I saw in your show notes that you actually made a video comparing those! I'll be checking that out next. Thanks!
I have a video where I compare them. Maybe that will help. There are follow up videos with updates on setting up a few of them as well. Note that, sadly, RPort has been closed sourced by RealVNC after their acquisition of it. th-cam.com/video/DZ0Ocwga43w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZyacTmLH_bYQaXUH
Good series, thanks. Picked up a few new apps to play with. Great video as always
Glad you liked it, and super glad you found some new stuff to try out.
Thanks very much for you insights. I to am a fan of OSS. So your video is very helpful. Thanks again. Subscribed!
So glad you enjoy my content, and glad you are on board with us.
Good series, thanks. Picked up a few new things to play with.
Noticed on your web page that the link for Quant-UX is wrong, has the web page for navidrome. :)
Nice vid man, you always share great info 👍
Thanks my friend! Glad you liked it.
Awesome Mr
Thank you!
🗿 reppin open source! Thanks so much, great video as always
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for pointing me to Navidrome. I've been looking for something like this.
Glad I could help. The developer is trying to build a better roadmap, so he can focus on things better. The project exploded, and he works on it, as do most, in his spare time, so I think it gets overwhelming a lot of times.
Amazing video! So many useful tools, and quite a few that I'm not familliar with. I'm 24yo and I spend a lot of time researching open source software and putting together my system so it has the best software library!
Thank you!
Corner Gas! Thumbs up!!
Love it! So great!
Hey Fellow PM, Discovered Quant-UX through you.
That's awesome. That reminds me, I need to update my docker version this week.
Loved both these vids great setup thanks for sharing. Would like to see updated vid on jellyfin plz
It's on my plan.
@@AwesomeOpenSource thank you kindly
Thanks for the share, love your work!
Question, have you thought about making a video for open source single sign on (SSO)? I haven't found any good examples used in home lab.
Authentik has peaked my interest, but I haven't had time to sit down and dig in. There's just sooooo much to SSO. It's an overly complicated subject for something that seems simple on the surface. In the mean time, you might check out the cooptonian channel www.youtube.com/@cooptonian as he has a ton of Authentik content already.
@@AwesomeOpenSource Thank you so much for the reference i sincerely appreciate you're the best!!!!! I will take a poke around. My workplace uses SSO heavily and of course what better way to learn than setting something yourself 😄.
Once again thank you so much for the direction and i will do some digging on my part.
Great series! what i miss the most, and sure hope you got in order..??..?? is what to use for (automated) backups!
I've been researching this topic a lot recently. A lot of the older videos I've done on things like URBackup and Duplicati, are still valid, but the projects just seem to go stale after a while. Borg backup is the next most discussed, but it's all cli, so looking for a good GUI that will work with it to present as well.
I created a wiki page detailing how to use a script to automate backups for all of your favorite services. Please let me know if you are interested.
+1 for tabby. been using it since it was terminus. not as light weight as putty but the features are generally worth it. I still use putty for one offs though
Tabby is awesome.
HI, great job man, is always a pleasure to watch your videos. I also often use TEEDY on docker, I don't know if you've already tried it, I use it to keep all the various manuals and guides for my hardware collected in one place which would otherwise be scattered everywhere in the various directories of my servers.
I saw that at the end of this video you talked about the VELOREN game. When you have the time, if you haven't already covered the topic, could you make a guide to putting it in a docker? For a noob like me that would be great!
Thanks again for sharing!
I already have a video and a guide on Veloren. I'll definitely check out Teedy. Here's the link to the show notes for Veloren. wiki.opensourceisawesome.com/books/veloren-open-source-mmorpg/page/veloren-open-source-self-hosted-multi-player-endless-world-exploration-and-adventure-game
@@AwesomeOpenSource Ah! Thank you so much! I'm going to read right now!
Yeahr Traggo is realy nice. I use Traggo for my study/learning.
Very nice!
@ 24:12 LibreOffice... That came bundled with Ubuntu;... But I'm used 2 Apache OpenOffice which offer me the same ability 2 crate documents etc...
OpenOffice, LibreOffice, OnlyOffice, they are all excellent options for office suites in this day and age.
I did like it
Thanks!
great
thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
useful! I just installed NextCloud and am always looking for alternatives for me to get things done
There are literally thousands out there, so keep finding the best open source options.
NIce video, thanks. I was wondering, is that a clock/weather app on your dashy screen? Where is that from?
Those are a couple of the widgets you can add to dashy. I have a video on dashy widgets here in the show notes here wiki.opensourceisawesome.com/books/self-hosted-dashboards/page/adding-widgets-to-the-dashy-dashboard
Do you have a home inventory program? Something to store: location, value(for insurance), warranty, url for more info, picture, ...
HomeBox is one that I covered recently. I'll be covering some other inventory programs soon. th-cam.com/video/XawMT0fg_To/w-d-xo.html
I'm no stranger to the terminal, but wireguird is what I was missing. It's name is so close to wireguard that just googling it after knowing the name from your video, I kept getting redirected, ha. So not surprised I'd never heard of it before.
Yep it's a pain to find on google. I just found another project that also works pretty well. Not quite as nice in my opinion, but it's a good start. I'll do a video on it soon.
@Awesome Open Source what's the difference between wireguard and wireguird, I didn't understand that?
Also is wireguard a VPN? I am looking for a VPN service for Linux
Awesome Channel 👍👍
Thank you!
Great video as always.
Which OS you are using for this machine?
I see this is Gnome Desktop.
Ubuntu 22.04. It's been pretty great. Still not wild about wayland, but it's definitely getting better.
Nice video as always. Just I question I'm curious. How do you manage backups of all the stuff saved in the nextcloud instance?
So, nextcloud is a syncing service, so I use it for that purpose. I don't backup NextCloud, but instead my nextcloud folder on my local machine. So nextcloud keeps all of my machines (folders on various devices) in sync, but I keep a backup of my local folder on my TrueNAS box using rsync. NextCloud AIO (which is what i'm using, does have a borg backup component built in, and I use it to make a backup before any updates. I suppose I could use it to make more regular backups as well, but this is how I do it today.
@@AwesomeOpenSource I see. You just basically rsync the nextcloud folder from the local machine to your NAS. Thanks for the answer :)
My pleasure.
I enjoyed the video. Very inspiring! What is the name of the linux destro your using?
Disregard question. Just found in part one. Thank you.
Glad you found it.
Thank you for the great experience
I have a query
How many devices do you use for these programs that I explained in the two sections?
I wish you to how your home lab was built
my regards
My next video will be about my hardware setup, so maybe that will help. but in reality, most of the apps run on a single server that runs 2 Virtual machines with Docker installed. Its not necessary to split it that way, I just do because I make videos. With the level of use I and my family have, I could probably run everything on a single machine with 32 G RAM with no issues. Maybe even less RAM 24 G would probably be more than enough.
Thank you for your response, and I hope to get the following video, settings for virtual machines, how they work and prepare them
my regards@@AwesomeOpenSource
Great Video Brain, thank you. Why do you not use Jellfin for music?
When I tried it, I found the interface a bit clunky, particularly for playlist creation. The Navidrome stuff has been really great, and I use it all the time, plus it’s easy to pull music to my device for offline listening. Jellyfin may have that now, but it didn’t when I originally tried it.
@@AwesomeOpenSource I will try it
I like the look of traggo, they just need a browser extension and I will use it
Make the suggestion on the project, never hurts to ask.
stupid question, but what extensions do you use in Firefox? recognized Dark Reader, Bitwarden. Thanks…
Well I use Firefox for my daytime job too, so you'll see Okta up there, as that's why my work uses. The only extensions you can't see because I don't have them pinned, are uBlock Origin (a must honestly), wave (a system for checking accessibility of a site), and Privacy.com. BTW, not a stupid question at all.
I have found that there are tons more software for Linux than Windows. And the upside is the fact that they are open source, free, non malware, maintained, easily findable thanks to repos or flatpak or snap or appimage. I am appalled how Microsoft keeps their users in the dark and deliberately kneecaps them
I am loving the way software and Linux are flowing these days. It's really a wonderful way to compute in my opinion.
Hope there are good open source games like Veloren.
There are tons of good open source games for sure, but not as many that are MMORPG sadly. a few though.
hiy brian I am waiting for part 3
Hardware setup coming soon.
@@AwesomeOpenSource Bring it onnnnnnn
I turn a open source guy with you, lol :)
That's Awesome! Glad you are on the journey with us!
in the show notes, the link for quantux is the link for navidrome. looks like you forgot to change it
Hahaha. Thanks. I’ll update it.
Trilian looks really nice but i miss a mobile app for this :/
The interface seems to scale fine for mobile for me.
Trillium seems to be so similar to obsidian. I wonder why it is not more popular than Joplin.
Joplin is lighter weight to run I think, so that may be one reason. The dedicated mobile apps also may be a reason.
Seems to be some sensitive data showing around the 16:00 mark of the video on the right
Not to worry. It's a throw-away email I use for testing.
I also use RustDesk every day.
It's awesome stuff!
You have any security auditing tool web and server ?
I haven't used any so far, but you might check out Invicti www.invicti.com/blog/news/netsparker-is-now-invicti-signaling-a-new-era-for-modern-appsec/
Hi, which registrar are you using domain ect.. pls
I really like Hover. Their setup andcontrols (IMO) are much better. GoDaddy is a huge mess, and there's 10 different ways to navigate to the things you want with constant upsell ads in the way.
ShareX is grate screen capture tool
Thanks for the tip. I"ll add it to my list. My big question is, can it function on Wayland. I love flameshot, but some of the wayland changes in gnome have made it unusable, adn it seems the finger-pointing between dev teams has begun. Same issue with SimpleScreenRecorder.
Sir, Can you help me one thing, Can i get a reference for a open source application which can make a tunel for port forwarding or open port for home pc. My ISP did not alow me for port opening and static ip. thats why i can access my home pc from outside network. (Like duckdns, noip, etc.) if possibile pls share me a tutorial video also.
Netmaker. You set it up in a VPS, then use it to create a Wireguard mesh network to various machines. You can also use a machine on your network to create an egress node out to your LAN so you can access it with any client connected to that same Netmaker network. I have a video on it here th-cam.com/video/X-BYDYoM_3w/w-d-xo.html
Hi,
is there any self hosted task management app for both mobile and website?
Can you give me a little more about what specifically you are looking for out of a task management app? Might help me find the right fit to start with. Nextcloud has a nice little add-on called Tasks, it allows you to setup teams, assign tasks, track tasks through statuses in a kanban board, add notes, etc. I think it may also do reminders, but can't recall for sure.
Which OS are you using? I am web and mobile app developer. also gamer.. right now I am using windows and Mac too.. I want explore Linux so which Linux disb suites for me... If you have any idea?
Linux distro is a definite personal choice, but I think a lot of developers like either Ubuntu because most of the stuff just works and most apps will have some way of running on it pretty easily (for Linux apps that is), or they go toward an Arch spin which is more cutting edge, and a bit more "fun" if you don't mind tweaking your system occasionally. There are some really good Arch spins out there now like EndeavorOS, Garuda Linux, Manjaro, and several more. I'd say just check on reddit in the LInux sub-reddit and ask there too. You'll probably get an array of answers, but hopefully more detail too.
@@AwesomeOpenSource cool 😎.. Thanks for sharing those😍
I just switched from Traefik to Nginx because of you. SO MUCH EASIER to work with.
Glad I could help. Traefik has a lot of power, but is definitely more of a think-ahead type application.
Next cloud . Do you host your own server? Make no sense if not and no one really need it
Yes, I host my own server for NextCloud. It's great for myself and my family to be able to sync different things up and be able to depend on my infrastructure.
Is there a particular reason you use Jellyfin over Emby?
Jellyfin is open source.
@@AwesomeOpenSource Hows the support on it? I know Emby they're pretty good in the support forum with answers
I haven't really had to deal with any support issues, it just works for me. The one time I did hit a snag, they had a fix / answer already in their forums that I applied...but that was 4 or 5 years ago now.
@@AwesomeOpenSource Thats good to know. What app are you using to view the media from jellyfin in? While its great Emby has a plugin to parse everything through between the client and server, without it its very hard to setup without it. Do you find the same with Jellyfin?
No, jellyfin just seems to work. In the server there is a local network discovery option you can turn on to help with Client setup, but other than that just use the IP of the server. I use the jellyfin client on Roku (really solid). I use Swiftfin on AppleTV (getting better all the time). I have used InFuse on apple tv, and it was good, but a bit clunky on moving through the UI. On computers, I use the browser as it works perfectly fine. On my mobiles, I use the official Jellyfin app.
What would you say is a good, free windows RDS server like solution
So, if you're asking what could you use to give users access to multiple desktop sessions using a single server, there are several. You can use X2Go server adn client (you need the desktop to be running on X11, and not Wayland. You can try Webtops as well, which spins up a dockerized desktop environment, so you spin one up for each user. You could run LXC containers with the desktop of choice on each one (Scott over at the @Scottabyte channel has a video on doing this with ubuntu, and then using RDP to access it). Not really RDS, but still nice minimal VMs that could be used.
@@AwesomeOpenSource xrdp and xpra aswell, just thought of a windows environment, as windows limits it to 2
are you using pop os ?
I was for a while, and it was nice, but started having issues after an update, so switched to Kubuntu 22.04 for about a year, and just switched to Ubuntu 22.04 a few months back.
did you get your whole family hooked on open source?)
Working on it.
Are these programs compatible with windows?
Most run in a browser, and in docker, so yes, they'll run on anything with a modern browser. The installed apps have Windows options, (Shotcut, xLights, etc).
@@AwesomeOpenSourcethanks
when not use wled instead of x-light ?
I haven't tried wled. I may, but the learning curve for me with x-light was high enough. I was really just trying to make the system work. Once it did, it was AMAZING though.
@@AwesomeOpenSource wled is simple, plug and play.
@@AwesomeOpenSource with WLED learning curve is not so high. I have both installing and updating videos on my channel. WLED is awesome hardware support too, you can use a simple ESP8266 or ES32 run a small under 1A directly from a USB plug or use esps just as a controller while using power injection. there is a sound reactive version too.
How would you survive in a power cut?
I've been moving all of my stuff to lower power servers (mini-pcs that only use a few watts of power), my next step is to get some good battery systems that can keep them running for a while, and that will help tremendously. I actually had a power outage a few years back during a serious cold spell. No power for a week, and honestly, it was so cold that my wife and I were in survival mode trying to keep my parents, her mom, and two nieces warm, fed, and safe. It took us the entire day every day to get everything done just to keep things going, so there was no time for homelab. The comforts we enjoy normally are really taken for granted.
Is Netmaker open-source; free for users?
Yes. He has an Enterprise edition that has some extra metrics and such, but you can even use that for free up to a certain number of nodes.
Any open source digital signage application
XLights might actually give you that if the sign is an array of pixel LEDs. I'll look around for any others though.
@@AwesomeOpenSource Easy to manage & schedule
Set different content schedules for different screens, in seconds. Monitor and
manage few screens, remotely, in just a few clicks.
Thak you for your work, but... it is a bit frustrating to ear praize to a software... that you don't know what it is!! Maybe it would be better if there was an explanation of WHAT IS the software before praizing it. (If you find any error on my inglish, I apologize...)
I totally understand your thoughts. I have separate, individual videos for each piece of software I talk about that goes into deep detail on what the softwae is, how it can be used, and how to set it up / install it for yourself. I linked to my Show Notes in the video description, and on that page, i have each bit of software with a link to that software's own page and instructions. My Channel is genearlly about each piece of software, and this is just an annual update video I do telling my subscribers and viewers about what I'm still using. I hope that helps.
I found Obsidan to be a far more powerful note taking app compared to Trillium.
It likely is today. But, also it's closed source. I really prefer open source, completely free (libre free) software. And for me, trilium does far more than I have ever needed.
Good Open Source Photo Editors ?
Check out this one. I'm not a photo editing pro, but I've heard good things about it. www.darktable.org/
@@AwesomeOpenSource Thank you
I would like to provide some very useful programs to install with docker such as: XIBO (ad display server), Calibre web (digital book shelf), Odoo (administration program), Jitsi (video call server), Drawio (flow drawing of work), kasmweb (web application server), azuracast (radio server), Binance Trading bot (cryptocurrency bot), openvpn (vpn server), cups (print server). If you know more, share.
Are you suggesting videos on these, or asking if they can be installed in docker? Or you want to provide this as a service?
Shotcut or kdenlive?
I prefer shotcut. i find it to be far more stable in my use cases anyway, I like the workflow of it, and It generally uses fewer resources to run on my hardware. That said, KdenLive is some incredibly powerful software. If you can get used to the workflow, I'm usre it woudl serve anyone well.
OBS means Open Broadcaster Software, not Open Broadcast System
Thank you for that. I mess up those names so much.
@@AwesomeOpenSource Thank you for the list. I've already known most of what you've showed, but I'm installing PiAlert for my home network now. I'd also add Immich which is a great self-hosted Google Photos alternative.
I started an Immich video a while back, but realized I just wasn't familiar enough to make it useful, so I'll start again on a new one soon.
why not kodi?
I wouldn't use 90% of it, and I really love Jellyfin for my needs.
Id love companies and people to use more Open Source but hey theres only Microsoft Google and Amazon out there right? Also noone gives a damn about GDPR just hand highly sensitive health data to Google or Facebook what could go wrong......ugh.
Why not make a video or a series about what Open Source tools and services could replace certain gig tech products and services?
I have an entire series on it called 'Building a Business on Open Source'. Not all will have GDPR built in, but many do have the tools already there to meet GDpR requirements. If something is missing, the best thing about open source is you can ask them to add those features, and it's likely it will get added. They want adoption, so it's in their best interest to add those functions. th-cam.com/play/PLjLkaXQ353210citr52k74DWb3IOzHWL7.html
@@AwesomeOpenSource per GDPR any US based service is basically illegal as long as there's no clear and strict guidelines how data going out of the EU is stored and handled which is not the case rn after Shrems 2 and other laws and regulations got invalidated
I absolutely hate that most native apps nowadays are made using web technology, resulting in big and demanding software.
It is a bit annoying that an app is so heavy, but it's really been one of the best things for Linux users because before these types of apps came along 90% of applications were windows only, and a few more percent has a mac version, but almost none had a linux version.
The good news is there are projects out there to help solve the cross platform issues with much lighter weight options, they just need more people to get on board with them. Hopefully lower barrier to entry in the long run.
OMFG. When i'm being recommended something, IDFC how good or how excited, or whatever you feel about the shit you''re recommending.
We only care about what it can do for us and what it has that it can offer.
What the actual fuck.
Sorry my format wasn't what you were looking for, but here's a site that might fit better what you'd like to know. This creator has done a few videos on his everyday open source solutions, and he handles the details, I believe, much more in the way you'd enjoy. www.youtube.com/@TheLinuxEXP/videos
selfhosted music playback remains totally pathetic,
Navidrome can't view folders, Jellyfin doesn't even scan bigger library at all,
gapless playback is a no-go, .cue sheet flac support is no-go too -_-
If you have a solution that does all this, and you're happy with it, then definitely use it. You can also make requests for these features on these open source projects, and chip in to help make them a reality.
You could not possibly use everything shown in part 1 & 2 everyday!! It's just not possible.
I don't use them all every single day, like I said Crater is a few times a month, shotcut is weekly for my video editing, OBS is a few times a week for recording segments, but also keep in mind that using something doesn't mean I directly access it's management gui. Like HomeAssistant, Nextcloud, and other services that I am using, but not consciously as much as some of the others. But these are what I would call my core applications for regular use, and many of them are used every day for one reason or another. You have to remember, I'm a tinkerer, so I love to get in and update, change, test, and just make sure things are working.
windterm is better than tabby， tabby use too much resources
Awesome! I'll 100% check it out. Looks very cool.
Crater Invoice is not free Software, so by definition not real open source.
Sucks.
I don't suppose I understand. I run it without charge today. Their LICENSE is here github.com/crater-invoice/crater/blob/master/LICENSE. The same Github site where you can freely get the code and modify it as you see fit.
@@AwesomeOpenSource no, you can't -
Ahahahaha, just saw it, before 2021 it was a very shitty license.
"nome", not "guh-nome"
The world runs in descriptivism, not prescriptivism.
Hahaha... definitely don't listen to the Linux Unplugged podcast. You'll cry when they pronounce. I truly have no idea how they intend it to be pronounced. I used to say 'nome', but then heard people say it's 'guh-nome' becuase the 'G' is from 'GNU (guh-new)'.
Yes, guh-nome.
@@AwesomeOpenSource One of the most fundamental principles of modern linguistics is descriptivism. There should be no value judgement about particular words or pronunciations or types of speech, there must be no correct way to speak handed down from on high. We describe how people speak. If language changes, we change with it.
Even if you invented the word, you don't get to make the call on how it's pronounced.

I tried Trillium Notes and I tried to like it, but it's so overloaded with features I'll never use, it hasn't done things that i *will* use. A shame
@@legendboyAni I'm after an open source and self hosted option...so unlimited as limited as my server is. But it's notes, how much space could you actually use, right? And who needs photos in notes? Not I. Thanks for the suggestion
@@icyhotonmynuts Joplin might work for you. I use standard notes myself.

@icyhotonmynuts hey i don't know why you deleted your reply but yeah that's OK if you want to use self hosted server for notes, (i didn't know about that) but notesnook is not a bad choice for the ppls who can't host there own server like me but still don't want to use unsecured proprietary software, notesnook have e2e encryption and no one can she your notes without the security key that they provide just like matrix, but yeah i don't know that this is decentralize or not maybe not, and also i think many ppl use photos in notes as well like me 3d animators, artist and other type of creative work ppl.
