That's a neat little mini PC and what a great price. And your full set up was no more complicated than a Win11 install with local account and a bit of debloat. The end result though is much more satisfying.
Great presentation for me! I am building an 8 bay NAS from scratch and you have answered lots of setup questions. I do need a keyboard and display for the initial operating system install and then can access the server from my Ubuntu laptop via the network. I guess I can prepare my ssd from a usb attached to my Ubuntu laptop and then install it in the NAS server for boot up. My server is a KCMconmey 8 + 1 BAY NAS Case and motherboard is itx Q670.
Brian thanks for the tutorial especially creating the network drive in windows. I found it very helpful and as always the presentation was very professional. Have a great week. Looking forward to more like this.
Actually didnt want to click the video for the same reason... I thought it was gonna be some cute bae paid a bunch to host a channel 😂 but then its just a general nerd like i was wanting and the universe is right again 🤣
i use the same setup. using mini pc too. but, i use 2 hardisks 3.5 connected using usb hdd docking from symtec. the write speed was fast enough. around 500mbps -700mbps. the mini pc i use was intel nuc5i5ryb/h with 8gb ram and 2.5 ssd as bootable. i also use it as adguard.
Hi, until now one of the best descriptions on how to setup casaOS. Maybe you may and a chapter on how to mount the data folders from the casaOS server on another linux computer. Windows supports this easily, linux is a Bit difficult here. Allover, for now, big thanks for this content
I have a desktop computer setup in the house office with linux mint on it. I use it as a jellyfin server among other things. I use rustdesk to remote into it when I need to fiddle with it. Using a mini pc is a great idea. I chose a desktop because I can add one drive for the os and another drive with media files. I do have the /home folder set up as another partition on the os drive just in case I need to reformat or reinstall the os for any reason. Cheers.
I've been using the only Windoughs machine in my house to house all my media/files cause that's what i started with years ago. I use Emby, it works like a champ, but i WOULD like to move to Linux in the future, just gotta find the time to move to something like TrueNas. My other computers are Fedora machines and i too use RustDesk.
Nice one for those who need such a setup Brian but I have no need for such a service. As I made a comment I think it was yesterday a video on blocking unsolicited emails would be great.
Great video as usual. Many thanks Brian. Just a question: why do you prefer the utility you systematically use to flash drives to the well known Rufus? Just asking… both are really good. And your personal server is a great idea and I can’t wait for the upcoming video in which you’ll explain how to go further.
Ok I've tried that sudo apt install curl. That went thru, but when I copied and pasted the link from from casaos it gave an era message about the curl not recognized and something about version 8.5 and needing additional infromation.
Another great upload. I'm 63, How does Sync work with my Microsoft account. I usually like to clean install Windows every year or so. Do I need to backup Edge, Chrome, and my pictures to a backup drive? Or will Sync recover it for me?
@@Britec09 Normally I would back up Chrome and Edge separately copy my pictures all to a USB drive then put it all back afterward. I just wondered how Sync worked on a Microsoft account.
humm, i need netbird, kasm, docker, kuber's etc and for that I would need more than 1 node. Will this 1 server miini pc be able to do all that or will i need 2 or 3 of these for netbird etc
This is probably a dumb question, but I can't seem to figure it out :( How do I get CasaOS to just automatically start when I turn the machine on? Is that an option I have to do in Xubuntu?
@@rokibuca Yeah it was supposed to, but it ended up not. Unsure if its because I was using LDXE Debian? Anyways, a person familiar with linux went in and just added it to start automatically and now I don't have any issues!
Yes, you can use it. Reason for xbuntu minimum is no bloat apps on system you would never use anyway when setup as a server. And you control what you install for your needs. Me, I still need the wifi settings because I'm not hardwiring my setup. In the mean time I'm using a pocket router/ap to go from ethernet to wifi until I get the xbuntu wifi setup. Remember you need internet connection when setting up CasaOS.
Dang I could use any old potato and put CasaOS on it, stick it in the closet and forget it, Question does PC mother board support RAID ? I will Google that just curious
If you use a full ubuntu or Xubuntu with browser or any linux with browser yes. but normally you host it on a system where you dont work on. For example: laptop with ubuntu in your network closet. use your own PC for accessing the apps.

Thanks for that, I enjoyed it more than I probably should have! 😃

you could probably even install something smaller like Raspbian, then install Casa OS. I've used Raspbian to to run Pi-Hole and it work beautifully.
I got one of these Beelink U59 mini PCs when you first reviewed them 2 years ago. Hasn't disappointed me.
Great budget device.
Thanks for the tutorial. The CasaOS UI looks really nice and polished.
Yeah, I like it.

Best CasaOS video I've seen yet!

Glad it was helpful!
Good video Bri as an even cheaper option I have had running now for 3 years a Raspberry Pi 4 on a ups a a local file server and works fine.
Bro i tought u were that girl. U clickbaited me and my heart is broken
Actually didnt want to click the video for the same reason... I thought it was gonna be some cute bae paid a bunch to host a channel 😂 but then its just a general nerd like i was wanting and the universe is right again 🤣
Lol for real I was like is she hosting a linux server?? This can't be right.
Chicks are rare in this field.

I use both software.
Great help. Now part2 - add opnsense
Thanks for sharing, very useful information. Also for 720p video, text clarity is akin to 320?
Ok I've tried that sudo apt install curl. That went thru, but when I copied and pasted the link from from casaos it gave an era message about the curl not recognized and something about version 8.5 and needing additional infromation.
Thanks for the teaching! Your opinion on Nextcloud option for the same purpose please?
wouldn't you need keyboard mouse and screen..to turn on the CasaOS server, if you don't operate it 24/7?
Is It a bad sign when you do the curl command & nothing ever happens?
Thank you Brian that was rather interesting could I do this with an old dell optiplex pc Cheers have a great day
Yes
Thank you! Running my home server now, idling at only 0.5 watts l
can you put amazon link for this mini PC please?

How do you backup right now? Do you use Sync?
@@Britec09 Normally I would back up Chrome and Edge separately copy my pictures all to a USB drive then put it all back afterward. I just wondered how Sync worked on a Microsoft account.
Should do a video on Ubuntu Appliances for those that just want a file server or just a Plex server.
You can use this as a file server
@@Britec09 just an idea for video
why don't you have to set a password or login data for the smb access to the server in windows?
humm, i need netbird, kasm, docker, kuber's etc and for that I would need more than 1 node. Will this 1 server miini pc be able to do all that or will i need 2 or 3 of these for netbird etc

same
how do you get it to start at all?
@@mrsentencename7334 so I ended up getting it to work by running some terminal commands I got by asking Bings AI lol 😂
You just turn the machine on and Casa OS starts automatically
@@rokibuca Yeah it was supposed to, but it ended up not. Unsure if its because I was using LDXE Debian? Anyways, a person familiar with linux went in and just added it to start automatically and now I don't have any issues!
make sure you're connected to the internet when trying to install ;)
can i use ubuntu server instead of xubuntu? what's the difference
Yes, you can use it. Reason for xbuntu minimum is no bloat apps on system you would never use anyway when setup as a server. And you control what you install for your needs.

Go for it
Thank you & more, please?
14:08 server not service
Most tv's have usb, so you can just plug the ssd into the usb caddy directly to your tv and not bother buying the pc.
Your TV does not have the features this has, but you can do it that way for basic viewing.
@@Britec09 thanks
السلام عليكم
Plez britec09. Can you help me for printer sher for between win11 to win 11
Plug it into your network. Then all systems regardless of the OS will be able to use it. Simple as.
So when I install casaos on the linux machine can I use the same pc to open the casaos website, or I must continue on my windows pc?
If you use a full ubuntu or Xubuntu with browser or any linux with browser yes. but normally you host it on a system where you dont work on.
For example: laptop with ubuntu in your network closet. use your own PC for accessing the apps.
@@noz3m Okay, I see! Thanks!
So it is acting like a NAS.
So girl is clickbait
