Hi im first
Hey
ee
first one to like the video
Thisss is a project i tried soooo hard at but had to end up letting it to rest. So exited for this video, Thanks mahn
As someone who's been in IT for 25 years as a systems administrator/engineer, I have no idea how you maintain enthusiasm to make videos about this stuff every week.
Because chuck is a god level nerd like us who all watch this stuff for enjoyment after dealing with it all day. For over 20+ yrs. Lol
Good Money and self employment creates smiles everyday
Coffee and Money
Because he makes and does something new every week and documents it while it’s fun, passing on the fun!
"I have no idea... maintain enthusiasm... make videos... every week"
That is very simple, it's called editing. If you look there is hardly one clip that's longer than just a few seconds. It's all an act, a very annoying act too. This is my first video I have seen of this guy and he would be much more endurable if he didn't play pretend happy all the time. It's like he's on some funny powder.
I love how Chuck actually shows how to deal with the errors by actually including the errors in the final cut, not just editing them out and saying in the final cut "I got an error and I fixed it by doing XYZ". This is the most real tutorial around.
I was just gonna say the same thing! I always feel like a dumbass when I get errors, but it's refreshing to see pro's get them too.
Except he literally didn't explain the nfs error. He just said to blast any data you have on the drive with no justification. Not what you should probably do at all 13:30. That wasn't the only time he didn't explain his errors so I'm not sure if you're being ironic.
@@deViant14 Chuck was busy chuckling . .
@@deViant14 everyone's mileage is going to vary. For one thing the OMV has been updated since he made this video. So no it's not ironic.
@@hotfrm I know. Mine updated to Rockstor. Still janky, but an improvement.
I stumbled upon this video while searching for ways to build my own personal NAS. The step-by-step instructions in this video were easy to follow, and the end result was nothing short of amazing! I couldn't believe that I was able to build my very own Raspberry Pi NAS with just a few simple components. It's truly a game changer for anyone looking to store and access files remotely. Thank you so much for sharing this video, it's AWESOME!.
Thank you for this amazing tutorial. Completed this project from start to finish in just a few hours with your guidance. I now have a NAS full of pictures of my dog. 10/10
I’m getting ERROR 400: Bad request when I ran the openmediavault command, any idea? I’m using raspberry pi 3.
Funny, my NAS is full of those pictures as well.
I don’t have a dog, what can do I use a raspberry pi NAS for then?
Is it accessible from any network in the world?
It’s nice to see someone else have errors for EVERYTHING they do!
Isn't that just how computers work. 99% errors and 1% functionality?
@@boredcommenter67 That's been my experience for the last 20 years.
Honestly, as thrilling as it can be to get everything working, things breaking can often be far more interesting and educational.
@@boredcommenter67 I don't know what you're talking about! They work 100% of the time every time. See here's my Proof:
NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL
....god dammit, it was working just the other day, I swear! Why can it never connect?!?!
but it makes the tutorial pointless and confusing. should have been linear following, so easy to follow...
Raspberry Pi comes in this week and this will be the first project I shoot for with it. You make this stuff exciting. Don’t stop, this is exactly what the IT field needs is people passionate and excited
Absolutely brilliant video. Have been watching your channel and it has inspired me to go down the Pi/Docker/Hacking rabbit hole, it's really helped in my role as a senior engineer, keep up the amazing work!
Thanks heaps for this video. Just completed the project (including the case, SSD and power management board), I could not be happier. It performs exactly as advertised. Bloody brilliant project!
For anyone who's not aware, if he hasn't explained it in another video the && tells bash, run these 2 commands but check to make sure the 1st one completed successfully before running the 2nd one you could run it with just & and it would run the 2nd command without that check.
was not aware. thanks. I can see how that can be useful.
@@d_sellers1 good for oneliners that rely on the previous commands running to create either the argument or the input for the next command.
& is to send the program to the background, you can use ; instead.
Good to know. Is it possible to pipe any error messages to a text file if the 1st one fails? (I assume you know what I mean by pipe.)
@@AtlantaTerry IIRC it's something like 2>error.log
Dude, I have been in IT for 30 years.. Its the daily grind but recently found your channel and can say you make me excited to be in this field. Thanks
This tutorial is just amazing. I love that you show the errors you encounter and also how to solve them. Its so frustrating to follow a tutorial and encounter bunch of errors that doesnt occur in the video. Thanks for that
5:47 btw i have all these comands down bellow. well... where? i cant find them
Excellent tutorial! Works perfectly. I was able to take a "brand new" (it's been in the box in a storage bin for a few years) Raspberry Pi B+, a Thermaltake BlacX Duet docking station, and two old Seagate hard drives (3TB each previously used in a now dead Synology NAS) and turn them into a new Raspberry Pi NAS. Amazingly, it's screaming fast even when moving 4GB video files wirelessly. This will seem counterintuitive but literally the "best" thing about this tutorial was watching Chuck actually show that he had an error during the initial provisioning. I ran into the same issue and was able to resolve it using Chuck's instructions. For anyone reading this, I'd suggest letting the Pi/Open Media Vault wipe and reformat the hard drives prior to mounting the shares (wiping and reformatting via MacOS Disk Utility didn't work for this application.....yes, Disk Utility wiped and reformatted the drives but Open Media Vault did it in the way it wanted that worked). Next up....Raspberry Pi Super Computer:

Thanks @NetworkChuck
Chuck THANK YOU for making this video!! Ive been needing to build a NAS for a while now and this is a perfect and affordable solution. I really appreciate the amazing video, you are a great content creator and really help so many of us out especially those of us who are newer to the IT field. Keep doin what youre doin man!
Love it and i will try it. I've always wondered how to do this and watching other people's videos explaining things gets boring quick but yours make me feel excited to learn more stuff. Also I have already done a headless installation of the raspberry pi following your video. Thank you for everything.
I actually have a Pi4 that I've been trying to figure out what to do with, and the NAS + Plex sounds like a GREAT option.
Thanks for the inspiration! love your videos.
MY MAN!!! Absolutely LOVE this video! Can't WAIT to dig into this project! You have no idea how critical your enthusiasm is to my motivation to keep learning. My wife keeps asking, "Why do we need that?" Each time she does I just send her links to your videos. 😆
I love how you troubleshooted in the video. Many teachers will edit out the problems, but seeing the big long error and then finding a solution (re-format hd ) - that was great, and much mre down to earth.
As soon as he said re-format, I headed to the next section tho. I have terrabytes of data that cannot be erased! Save that bit for a new disk.
Thanks for the instructions, I've seen a ton of videos trying the same thing and even though I've done this in the past you explain the "why's" of what you are doing, which makes a novice better understand new software/devices.
Using this video as a foundational baseline, I just completed setting up my Raspberry Pi 4 NAS using 4 x 8TB external 3.5" HDDs. I used OpenMediaVault (obviously) along with the MergerFS & SnapRaid plug-ins to achieve the RAID component. After all said and done, a little over 21TB of usable storage space on my new NAS. Thanks for a great and inspirational tutorial! The steps provided were perfect!
Really appreciate the enthusiasm you bring to the video, gives you that extra push to go ahead and try these projects!
Wowwww...just WOW! I love your energy man and the way you are explaining the concepts and breaking them down in a very simple way. You just earned a loyal fan 😉
Happy New Year 2022!
This guy is really great. Aside from giving good explanations, he's pretty hilarious and makes learning easy and interesting. Looking forward to more videos. Thanks.
Note: anyone currently following this how to video may have noticed that OMV has changed some of their interface and how to do things. Just wanted to say during the part where you add a shared folder, you need to apply changes after setting up your attached HDD then you can select the HDD when setting up the shared folder. Otherwise your attached HDD doesn’t show up as an option to chose from.
The page is empty when I log in, is that normal? Its nit like filly empty, but I can only find some settings to reset my password, select a language, etc. On the left there is clearly a zone for the navigation, but nothing in it. On the top it says, that this site hasnt been customized yet and asks me to go to the dashboard, but there I can only click on 2 blue hook things and on save or cancel, then nothing happens. Can you helt me?
Tyvm!
Is this NAS accessible from anywhere in the world?
Hey there, Chuck! It's so nice to have a creator like you make content like this. Pretty, pretty awesome, man! Liked the video and subscribed to your channel.
Anyway, what open-source software do you recommend to use for syncing files between this Raspberry Pi NAS and a regular more powerful NAS?
Cheers
I can vouch for the geekworm 2.5inch drive holder. I got a large passive heat sink and slightly modified the location of the 20x20mm fan. Works like a charm.
Im glad I found this channel, very well produced and very informative, well done sir.
After 2 days of struggling I DID IT!!! Thank you so much man, I can't let you know how grateful am I for finding you!!!!
Not only the tutorial is super useful, but the way you present it is waaaayyy too entertaining man.
Instant sub from me, thank you.
Love your energy and honesty. Just setup plex on my pi-hole rp and mounted a share from my nas. So easy, fun and it's a great system. Learning heaps from you... mostly because you aim to develop my confidence as well as my knowledge. Thank you.
Am looking forward to moving plex from my desktop over to a pi.
Really? The exuberant delivery, and constant positive regard isn't... obviously disingenuous. So many TH-camrs come across like low energy infomercial hosts. I blame the children flooding the algorithm for rewarding this behaviour.
I don't know why but I got so hyped up at the start, even though I know that I won't be able to do this!
Just goes to show how much this dude helps you engage in this stuff.
Thanks so much for this great video. I’ve been looking for a low power, low cost Plex server for a long time. After a bit of struggling I got this up and running last night with my pi4. I love it. Now I can have my Plex server run 24/7 at minimal cost. Performance is great considering the cost.
I've had a few issues in the beginning because I didn't set up a static IP address initially (or at all) so after changing network configs my nas would change IP addresses. 😆 But I've been using the project from this tutorial for a long time now. It's been super useful. In the near future I'm going to figure out how to connect to it from outside of my home network so that I can access it from anywhere. As someone that has basically no networking experience and minimal knowledge, some of your videos have been very helpful.
This was a pretty fun project getting mine up on a cluster with nvme drives. Thank goodness for all the people who worked hard so I didn't have to!
Could you do a tutorial on how to set up off-site/WAN access and rsync between RasPi NAS and home NAS? And maybe an owncloud setup while you’re at it :D
Thanks again for a great video!
Why owncloud? Nextcloud is Kind of state of the Art rn
Thanks a lot! Never did something like that before, but it worked out great. Just had some issues with my drive, but now everything is running and I love it.
Thanks a lot for this video. I wanted some middle ground between a router attached storage and dedicated Nas. Really helpful and explained in very logical way. I'll try it once I have the hardware.
Dear Mr. Chuck,
Your channel is just too useful for our modern world.
I'm a Linux Sysadmin and Network Administrator as well but never bothered to build an online presence or even do the social media thing... I valued my privacy and also the amount of work the socials meant was a mindful for me...
I thank you deeply for the work put into these videos that helps from beginners to advanced users.
I appreciate it. You're making a lot of people benefit from all over the world 🌎.
Cheers!
I have been running the Ras-Pi OMV5 NAS for about a year now. Probably one of the most cost effective, stable solutions you can do for a home lab/network!
Does it run from an SD card? I have NextCloud and I gave up because the DB just crashes...cant login after 2 weeks.
I run the OS from SD card but storage is on external HDD
Yes, SD card running the RASPi OS, with OMV5 installed. RasPi 4 8gb and for storage I have a 10tb WD easystore hooked to the Rasp.
Great video! I was able to get this set up on similar hardware with minimal issue even given the UI changes! Thanks for the tutorial!
I laughed because of that "General Settings" joke more than I should have.
I think you laughed a reasonable amount.
A little How I Met Your Mother reference?
@@bjradekYT didn't know of the HIMYM reference, but this makes it even better.
I did too.. lmao
I really appreciate the energy and passion you bring to networking. Very bearded Bill Nye-esque in your ability to
bring excitement to a very technical and acronym laden topics. 👍
Thanks for this tutorial.
Even if the newest version of OMV is a little bit different, this video still very helpful.
You made it so simple. Thank you, can't wait to watch your other videos.
Great vid! The CTRL-SHIFT-X tip alone made it worthwhile...the NAS goodness is bonus!
Chuck, you just saved me over $300. I owned a Synology since 2010 and it is really slow and was thinking of buying another Synology or build one myself and then I ran into this cool video. You made my decision so easy, no to Synology and yes to Open Media Vault and I can save a bunch. Thanks.
How's the NAS doing after 2 months? Still the same opinion?
@@gilstruyf8400 Thanks for checking on my build. I built the NAS and it is working, however, I do not like some of the implementation by the Open Media Vault folks. For instance, if I plug a USB drive that has some contents already, it does not recognize the contents, it wants me to format it and then create shared folder in it. Coming from Synology however, if you plug a USB drive in to a Synology NAS, it will immediately recognize the contents; if I want to format it, then I can do that and then create shared folder. But Synology will set you back $400 while OMV is way less than that. Besides, I am getting used to running UNIX commands and learning as I go along, so for me it is a plus.
Time for another, check up :-)
This can be set up in a RAID config as well, which Open Media Vault makes almost too easy to enable. Once Pi prices come back down to MSRP levels I've got a project lined up at the library to build a DIY NAS, smart mirror, and some robotics with a group of school kids. It's going to rock!
How do i Use raid with it?
You are probably the easiest TH-camr to watch due to the enthusiasm. Thanks for all the great content.
Good call for enabling SSH while writing the micro SD! 👍
And good advice about the use of NFS.
However, I have been using an Odroid HC2 for my NAS, as much as I love the Raspberry Pi it's not great for NAS due to the use of the shared USB channel. The Odroid HC2 is built just to work as NAS, and the SATA connector is native and gets maximum bandwidth.
It's also very neat and compact.
Thanks again for the video, I may give Plex another try, cheers
thanks for the tip. never heard of odroid.
How to solve this error
ssh_exchange_identification: read : connection reset
Pls help me with this 🥴
I use a RPI4 OMV as my home NAS and is super stable, I also have some services runing inside docker containers.
Amazing video as always Chuck.
Good to know it’s long term stability. Thank you 😊
can you also run in docker home assistant?
@@alfadex50 yeah, Just make sure that you use the correct docker image
Hi, hiw about backups? Or even a Raid system… i as wondering if is possible. Regards
@@eakerz5642 all those to one RPI 4?? Can you show me where to start?? I need it right now! loll
Incredible i can’t say any word …. Wow good job man always watch ur videos and can’t stop watching… when i need something to learn and do it well u are the first one recommended ❤❤❤
I really like your enthusiasm. It makes a subject that could be a little dry into something fun.
i like how chuck has every thing in the description but the long commands
OMV uses 6.0 only bullseye or less and new Pi OS is Wormwood. OMV 7 is not out yet supports wormwood. Down load legacy os and skip the upgrade and update sudo commands and all is good from there on. Other than this; this is a great tutorial as usual.
Great tutorial, currently have 2 Pi3, so gonna grab a Pi4 and get with this, I currently have WD mycloud, but I'm limited due to the software. Gonna have to scan through you older videos now as I noticed you had a pi stack in the background and very interested as to what you have running, Keep up the great work and keep drinking that coffee :)
What a great video. Clear, simply, and quality is insane. Thank you for sharing!
if you could have raid this would be a really good solution. I can't think of a NAS without having a raid setup.
You can. OMV supports raid including SnapRaid which works over usb and can use different sized disks.
@@MrWinston1337 I have checked youtube after writing this comment. There plugging a hardware raid controller looks like a valid solution with raspberry pi. You benefit from more efficient ram and cpu usage, additionally can hook up all disks with all sorts of interfaces.
@@MrWinston1337 but the question is, can we find a nice case that will hole 2x 2.5" SSDs?
@@realtravisblaine check the world of 3d print spaces... they'll have it, have it in the works, or your question will give inspiration and someone will get to it.
OH you can also check your library to see if they have access to a 3d printer
@@AtlantaTerry both, for your convenience =)
I would like to see you build one with some sort of "hat" on the raspberry and have more then 3 or 4 of the 3.5 HDD. I think over coming these challenges is what more people would like. I've come to the conclusion that raid 0 makes the most sense with the raspberry limited 1 bus. Jeff Geerlings does multi hard drives but its with a raspberry compute.
I did this today! Worked great 👍 thanks so much for the info and walk through! Subbed and liked.
I LOVE how-tos that get/show/solve the sorts of errors we newbs run into (other vids act as though it never happens to them- lol). xx from AU!
This is exactly what i've been waiting for, got my own case and drives but this tutorial was fantastic!
Just did this! Worked great, enjoyed seeing someone else get errors for once! Just quick question why are none of the commands in rthe description like you said they would be?
Good video. I really like that you don't cut the errors you run into.
I built a RaspberryPi to remotely monitor a FM radio broadcast. The RaspberryPi served as a FM receiver (with antenna) and I can remotely email commands/transmitter diagnostics via email (with built-in email firewall access list). Saves a lot "windshield time".
Hey chuck, great video. Question though: How do you go about using this in a car? How to power it and how do your kids connect to it? (to the plex server)
Thanks, Chuck. Your video is amazing! Where could I find the link to all the commands you used in this video?
@NetworkChuck I would like to thank you for making this awesome video. I've just finished making my own PiNAS and it's fantastic.
Great video Chuck. Just built this project and working well. Cheers man!
Can't wait for the next one where you would show how to transfer between the Pi and the Big Nas
Yes please… I need this…
Me too!
Done it lol.
Real question is when you're going to guide us through CA Server, Kerberos, AD setup with an RPi to allow SSO and secure our internal web servers.
Just like to say thanks for the great video. Just finished setting my pi4 up with both openvault and plex. For my pi case I went with the Argon ONE Pi4 V2 Case and for the hardrives I went with the Mediasonic 4 bay USB 3.0 enclosure with esata and USB 3.0 connections. I am now in the process of moving the drives from a Lenovo Thinkserver into the external enclosure. Ill send a message when I finish completly.
Thank you for this video. It’s such a good way to learn and I love your attitude. This video is always a go back to.
Great video. Two questions but they are related. You mentioned that the Pi NAS would travel with you. This implies that something is acting as a DHCP server and most likely a Wifi hotpot to hook it all together. When mobile the Pi-NAS would likely have a new IP address. How do you find it or is it hard coded when the Pi takes over the DHCP and Wifi services or are you addressing it by service name? I am ready to repurpose a Pi for this project but I need to know how this all ties together when outside you home network domain. Thanks again.
Another great video, enjoyed this. I do have a small gripe with your webcam/face over the current command line - example @ 19:02 - I understand all the commands are listed for reference, but it would be nice to see them as you use them too, without them being obscured. A better position for these screen shots would be upper right corner.
at 6:00 his face cam is over the command do you think you could tell me what that command is because he said they are listed below but i do not see them anywere please help me
@@villocity5794 fax i need that command too. u ever get it?
@@ExecuteStyxzy nah i just had to look it up on my raspberry pi itself and the nas didn't work any way :{
Sudo apt-key add
@@villocity5794 pretty late i know but check his links for his website, it is all explained there.
Thanks for the video. Would like to know more about your full setup for road trips. For example:
1. RVing bad host wifi almost impossible except for text - open source router become the access point for yourself.
2. This video, RPI into NAS and Plex.
3. Do you buy your videos you play for the kids? Where do you hack videos from?
4. Anyway to use your NAS in the car without internet, besides plugging a hard drive into the computer and the kids watching from there?
I love your enthusiasm and excitement. Keep up the good work!
Got all excited about “and it syncs files back to my home” and then video ended! Great vid. Can you talk about your solution of this thing syncing to your home nas, I presume it’s VPN to your home? Thanks NC!
I was the same, I'd love to see how it syncs back and also how to access it while out and about
Probably using r-sync. I saw that option in the menu. Do some research on that.
@@dhrandy good spot! Thanks
I’m thinking this could be great as an offsite backup of your files. You plug in the pi at your buddy’s house, it vpns into your home, say WireGuard, and syncs your files with rsync or syncthing. Would be cool to see a vid on this kind of setup and to make sure it’s all secure so that your buddy can’t just use the pi to hack your network.
I loved this guide, but I think an additional important step would be showing how to switch the kernel from the default 32-bit to 64-bit in the instance of Raspberry Pi 4 8 GB users so they can implement the full 8 GB of RAM in their server
I just upgraded my pi4-8 to bullseye 64 but and then over locked the cpu and it runs amazing. I use it to run my Plex server and also my home network share drive.
@@allencooke95 That's exactly what I use mine for! I ended up picking up a 4 TB Seagate external hard drive off Amazon to run the storage over USB 3.0
Thank you for this tutorial. I know samba already, so this was freaking super easy. I ran into problems, sure, but nothing that a little break, a bit of head scratching, squeezing of the brows, and sip of coffee couldn't resolve. ;-)
Very informative. You made me feel learning to set up a pi and NAS is fun thanks chuck!
Maye it would be nice if you make a follow up video on how to set up remote acces to the NAS
@@szymex8341 I have my own vpn from the UDM pro. But I dont know how I can acces my files from a windows server pc with shared drives
I enjoy your videos. I struggled with this one for two reasons 1. could not locate the referenced links to copy and paste "below" but where?, and 2. could not see the full commands you were typing in the terminal because the talking head window obscured the right portion of the window. You are on screen a lot with great presence and energy, but is it necessary to have the bubble head covering up the terminal?
I just updated the pi installer on my computer and the button for advanced options is removed now. Thanks for this video showing how to get into advanced options (ctrl+shift+x)!
Made this and it was a super fun project and extremely useful. Canceled spotify and just stream my own stuff now. Slowly adding in my favorite movies and TV shows too
I have a quick question: if the hard drive I plug into the pi and mount to the file system has some stuff already loaded into it, will they get overwritten or will the drive get formatted?
If the file system is ext4 it should work. If it is any other file system YMMV.
@@realtravisblaine The NFS needs ext4 like he had to reformat, otherwise yet it will work
I am running NTFS with 7tb of media on it. It mounted without issue. Of course I am not running any other Linux or mac based machines that need access to the drive, so NFS is not enabled, just SMB. Plex is happy. My windows PCs are happy. All of which makes me happy. Right now, I do not have internet in my rural home, but with this setup, I have may media access able. My primary plex server is at a location with fiber internet, so I can not watch anywhere! :)
Hey can you tell me where is all your command you copy and paste ? Thanks :)
Went through this on my rpi3 since 4s are still really hard to come by and it works perfectly fine! I was a little worried with only 1GB of RAM but I have no issues. I also used Jellyfin rather than Plex though.
Currently in your situation with rpi3, I tried to use his way of getting plex and set all up but can’t connect to the plex web app. Thinking about using Jellyfin, was there a certain guide you followed??
Excellent video, love the energy and the humor. I just wonder if anyone tried to set up the NAS with multiple HDs to handle different RAIDs.
Ironic I've been thinking of doing just this for some time now, just wasn't too sure how to do it.
Actually surprised you went with the full plex install instead of going with docker install with it being lightweight and on a raspberry pi
If the device is dedicated to Plex, what do you gain from a Docker install. I have been running Plex on the bare metal since 2017 with no issues. (granted not a Raspberry Pi)
@@realtravisblaine your resources are not that much on a raspberry pi even on a high end one. The more horsepower u can save on a process the the better
Sir, your video is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. You really are a professional. As the captain of the tiger claw said to me once I finished up destroying the Sibar: "Keep up the good work!"
Great Vid as usual! like the humour and the general mission and result of your vids. keep up the great work - subbed! PS - Just ordered all the gear and will build one STAT! :)
Wow, Super helpful video, Networkchuck. Thanks for doing this. I just got mine up and working and I am so excited.
Great staff! Tho, I must say, apart from hosting Plex server, the same thing can be achieved by connecting/sharing SSD from any modern home router or even PC. Would be cool to see also how Pi NAS can handle RAIDed storage for redundancy. But at that point, I guess the whole setup would become quite chubby and it would be cheaper/better looking to buy proper NAS. Anyhow, cool tutorial! Thanks!
100% FRICKEN AWESOME! I really like your videos! Also, I agree with using Bit/defender. Over the past decade, I used a different tool for protection each year and I gotta say, thus far, BitDefender has been my favorite. That's not to say that other tools are crap. It just happens to be my favorite. You videos are entertaining yet highly informative. Thanks for taking the time and making this stuff fun!
I don’t mind ad but what’s it got to do with the Raspberry Pi NAS? Hes showing Windows. Confusing for noobs.
Possibly daft question but can you/should you put Bit defender or similar on the Pi?
Hey Chuck, thank you for this well-explained video. Had fun watching you talk as well. God Bless! 🙏🏻
I have one question: How do you access this NAS over the internet?
I put Plex on a PI4 that now sits inside of my Network Box. It can easily handle a single 4K stream, or multiple 1080p streams. I will say it's really nice having the PI serve Plex, while it can handle talking to my Drobo NAS to pull the vidoes. Hardest part of doing this was learning how to get the NAS to mount...had to edit the /etc/fstab file and add the IP, Credentials, and Share info...but once I did that? Yep...SMOOTH sailing.
Network Chuck always gets better and better and i hope he will be succsesful in the future, Good luck
Not really dude. this is mostly entertainment not an actual education and that's coming from a Cyber Sec Pro. I watch these things for fun not to actually learn something. I'm sure beginners will get some inspiration from the "taste" of the concepts being discussed.
By the way, I've been watching his channel when it was at 5k and it's because he's fun to watch not because I learned anything new. You can literally find every one of these tutorials online on various websites. He makes it entertaining but I guarantee you very few people are actually doing even a fraction of these lessons in practice.
@@borisvukcevic1454 he teaches new things he learned
@@borisvukcevic1454 there's one in every crowd!
Guess what it's already the future, he has 1.5 million subscribers so it's a full time job.
Again, I love these incredibly informative videos but would love to see your builds in action outside your home. How do you access your NAS from other networks? I have Plex and run a server but it is part of my main PC and runs into issues, I would love to build a PiNas and have full access from anywhere in the world.
Once you are accessing the pi media server from remote locations and streaming from remote locations, that is where the Pi will find issues. This setup will work fine for an internal home network, but transcoding media to run over the web to another viewing source is where the processing of the Pi cannot keep up. Otherwise, this is still an awesome build and has the specs that about any other small network NAS would.
@@Famousfifty8 Ahhh that was the main reason I wanted a NAS, I current have two 12TB hard drives for Films and TV Shows, a 10TB for 4K and 3D Films and a 8TB for Other Videos...
But accessing outside the home is important if the Pi can't handle that I guess i will hold off
@@Famousfifty8 thanks for the information/your knowledge. .... But how does he use it "outside" as he described in the beginning?
Wow!! your video about pi-NAS edition is just insane! It's created so beautifully that all of the process seems like a sip of a coffee!! Just count on me for another sip of a coffee while I hit on that subscribe button just like that!! Good luck from India
