I don't know if things have changed since you made this video but when I tried to setup SnapRAID it failed because it of a bad array. I had to go at setup an array.

great series, thanks so much for this

Weirdly, I do not get the "external path" field in immich... any idea if this is due to an update since then? don't know how to get all my photos in otherwise.

Thank you so much for this series. I have learnt so much already. I just had a thought - is it a good idea to stop docker containers when using the 'update' command, then start them up afterwards?

this is the best long ratchets ive ever got for 50 bucks lol. not spending 1000 on a strap on set lol. ive had them for 2 years. 0 issues so far. non of mine are bent or have issues. i have lots of strap on and mac tools. but again. im not getting sucked into spending 1000 bucks on a stupid wrench lol

Riding around with a broken clutch cable for 3 weeks while waiting for a replacement to arrive (and yes, I deserved that for buying a Kawasaki 2-stroke in Canada that wasn't legal to import) is how I learned to balance a bike at a dead stop while keeping it in gear with light throttle applied and the front brake engage. I've even sat like that in heavy traffic going uphill.

Mate, your videos are excellent. I’m not new to self hosting and already have a lot of services set up but it’s interesting to see other people’s organisation and take on it. Keen for the arr suite vid. Keep it up! 👍🏽

Thank you!

I'm replacing the whole shaft since its boot has been destroyed for a long time and I'm in a very dusty environment, but this video will be very helpful. If anyone else needs the whole assembly, RockAuto has it for $170 U.S. Remember to always put a 5% discount code into the "Who referred you?" field, saves a bunch over time.

This is amazing work, thank you very much 🙏. As I finished this guide, I realised one of my drives was "BAD" in the S.M.A.R.T. check :(. Do you have a link to a guide/video on how to swap out a hard drive without losing data? I technically have nothing on it so won't be too upset if I break something, but it's a good opportunity to learn! I have 3x data drives (2tb (dead), 1tb, 1tb), and 1x parity drive (2tb). Planning to get a 3tb drive instead of the dead one. I assume I'd need to make sure any content is merged, then I can just pull out the affected drive, plug a new one in its place and ?change its mount so that the system thinks it's the same drive? But then my 3tb would be bigger than my parity. I'm a little lost 😅

Thank you for making this easy to understand

It’s not BENT!! It’s OFFSET!

This was a great video, really clarified how these work and how relatively easy it is to setup.

Finally someone is made Paperless walktrough and not docker installation which is basic and simple and easy to earn "views"...

Great video...I had Dashy up and running fine for several months using your video, but recently noticed a notification for a new version. I used docker to pull the new image and restart using the compose file, but now Dashy won't start. I haven't changed anything from your original tutorial other than pulling and deploying the new image. Docker reports the container is running and is healthy on the desired port, I just can't get anything browser to connect. Do you have any ideas what might have changed and how I could get this working again? Thx.

I installed timeshift, but when I run the --create it tries to backup /sda but my system drive is /sdd. Not sure why it's not backing up the system drive. Ideas?

Hi. Thanks for the video - can't wait to get Snapraid setup on my new OMV NAS. I have installed OMV on a Trigkey G5 mini-PC and I have a 4-bay Terramaster DAS connected by USB3. OMV sees the 4 drives from the Terramaster, but when I try and add a drive to Snapraid - it only sees the OMV install drive. From reading other posts on this video it seems that the 4 drives via USB (/dev/sda, /dev/sdb/, /dev/sdc/ /dev/sdd) should be able to be added to Snapraid. Any advice or pointers? I did take 1 drive and wiped it, created a EXT4 file system and rebooted the OMV once that was done - Snapraid still not seeing any of the USB3 drives. Thanks!

This is seriously dangerous and can kill you! Just make sure that piston is facing away from anyone, I only say because I did it and the piston flew right past my head and in to a galaxy far far away some say its still orbiting earth as we speak.

I can't believe you have to hack this friggin app just to make external libraries work. I cannot get this working on TrueNas Scale and every tutorial assumes too much prior knowledge of Linux

Really cool video, I am beginner but I was able to understand the whole video. I agree with the other comments you deserve more views

I got error when tried snapraid so I used Unraid

They're pretty garbage, I picked up a set just for doing a belt pully. Mine are bent too but not quite as bad as the one you got. You can just feel that ratcheting end will snap with any sort of torque on it. I have some gearwrench stuff too, had to warranty something and it took a while but I did get it replaced.

If you're looking for a walkthrough for readarr (the audiobook manager), look somewhere else. This is only about sonarr, mentions lidarr in passing, and it turns out he's talking about radarr (movie manager), and doesn't cover anything about that either. "Sonarr / Lidarr / Readarr Walkthrough" is a very deceptive and misleading video title.

I have a doubt that I cannot understand by myself. I am running Omv as main system and Home Assistant in docker. I want poweroff omv (and host pc) from the container HA. Is it safe to poweroff omv via ssh and handless keys, considering private and public keys are on the same computer (one in the container and one in Omv)? Do I have other more safe options in your opinion? I have read another option is to map some folder in the container like for example systemctl and systemd folders to be able to run systemctl commands, but not sure if it is more safe than first option. Thanks as always

Really useful, thank so much for the tutorial. Recently the OMV 7 everytime reboot will stopped and have a message " watchdog did not stop", how to get rif of this? thx

1:33 what is that dog in the middle right lool

should I put real email address and password in the docker compose? Thanks

Thank you for your awesome videos, helping me a lot! Somehow I am having 2 issues with this one here... first issue: I cant add drives to snapraid, if I dont define arrays first. In your video here you didnt have to do that? Did they change that recenlty? Second issue is with the cronjob / scheduled task. If I try to run it manually i get a very long error message. I already tried to reinstall snapraid, still happened... here it is: Failed to execute command 'export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin; export LANG=C.UTF-8; export LANGUAGE=; export SHELL=/bin/sh; sudo --shell --non-interactive --user='root' -- /var/lib/openmediavault/cron.d/userdefined-57e13a3c-5a94-11ec-8153-3f587eab8e1f 2>&1' with exit code '127': /bin/sh: 1: /var/lib/openmediavault/cron.d/userdefined-57e13a3c-5a94-11ec-8153-3f587eab8e1f: not found OMV\ExecException: Failed to execute command 'export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin; export LANG=C.UTF-8; export LANGUAGE=; export SHELL=/bin/sh; sudo --shell --non-interactive --user='root' -- /var/lib/openmediavault/cron.d/userdefined-57e13a3c-5a94-11ec-8153-3f587eab8e1f 2>&1' with exit code '127': /bin/sh: 1: /var/lib/openmediavault/cron.d/userdefined-57e13a3c-5a94-11ec-8153-3f587eab8e1f: not found in /usr/share/openmediavault/engined/rpc/cron.inc:198 Stack trace: #0 /usr/share/php/openmediavault/rpc/serviceabstract.inc(622): Engined\Rpc\Cron->Engined\Rpc\{closure}() #1 /usr/share/openmediavault/engined/rpc/cron.inc(176): OMV\Rpc\ServiceAbstract->execBgProc() #2 [internal function]: Engined\Rpc\Cron->execute() #3 /usr/share/php/openmediavault/rpc/serviceabstract.inc(122): call_user_func_array() #4 /usr/share/php/openmediavault/rpc/rpc.inc(86): OMV\Rpc\ServiceAbstract->callMethod() #5 /usr/sbin/omv-engined(544): OMV\Rpc\Rpc::call() #6 {main} Any idea what the issue might be? I followed your instructions here to the letter (of course with a bit of a different drive setup, i got 1 giant parity drive, 1 system-install-nvme and 3x 3TB datadrives, that i pooled up with mergerfs (want to use those for borg) - and have not added my real data drives yet.

What does "Introducer" mean?

May I suggest a video tutorial for offsite backup. I am really struggling to set it up. I SM trying to use twingate, but not success so far. Any advice.? Thanks

You forgot the best part at the end...It's FREE

I'm testing Immich as front end, working on a mix of directory against digikam. Maybe promising way ... for my workflow and needs. I've intalled a Digikam instance on Docker and I use syncthing to sync a photo directory from my pc, this directory is used by digikam and immich as external library. Immich read some tags from Digikam ex. caption tabs - Description - Captions ... but it doesn't use it as search context ... I write "shit" caption of a photo in digikam, if I open it in immich I can see caption but if I search it Immich doesn't fine any shit on my photos. I'll test the same but using the upload system of immich to see what happend if I use digikam on his directory and database structure. And them if is possible to use his system of duplicate rejection.

Great content, also good how you remind folks to not just run scripts as root. Was thinking many folks that need that wont always be able to interpret the script, leaving them a bit stuck. Turns out you can use AI to easily narate it, here are examples from Copilot and Grok. Gives an idea on capability we haave today, there will be character limits and other issues, but this is a great start. GROK - Certainly, here's a step-by-step breakdown of the script: 1. The script starts by checking if it's being run as root. If not, it will exit with an error message. 2. It then determines the system's architecture and checks if it's supported. If the architecture is not supported, the script will exit. 3. The script then checks the version of OpenMediaVault (OMV) installed on the system. 4. It also determines the codename of the Debian distribution being used. 5. If the OMV version is less than 5, the script will exit with a message stating that the version is unsupported. 6. The script then removes any existing omvextras.list file. 7. It then downloads the omvextras.org plugin for the specific version of OMV and the system's architecture. 8. If the file is successfully downloaded, the script will install the package and any necessary dependencies. 9. Finally, the script suggests pressing ctrl-shift-R in the browser after signing in to the OMV web interface for the changes to take effect. This script automates the process of installing the omvextras.org plugin for OpenMediaVault, ensuring that the system is properly configured and the necessary dependencies are installed. More Technical prompt - Certainly, the bash script you provided is designed to install the omvextras.org plugin for OpenMediaVault (OMV). Here's a more technical breakdown of the steps: The script first checks if it's running as the root user using the id -u command. If it's not, it exits with an error message. It then determines the system's architecture using dpkg --print-architecture and checks if it's supported. The supported architectures are arm64, armhf, amd64, and i386. If the architecture is not supported, the script will exit. The script then checks the version of OMV installed on the system using dpkg -l openmediavault. It extracts the version number from the output using awk. It also determines the codename of the Debian distribution being used with lsb_release --codename --short. If the OMV version is less than 5, the script will exit with a message stating that the version is unsupported. The script then removes any existing omvextras.list file in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory. It then constructs the URL for downloading the omvextras.org plugin for the specific version of OMV and the system's architecture. The file name is constructed as "openmediavault-omvextrasorg_latest_all${version}.deb". If the file is successfully downloaded, the script will install the package and any necessary dependencies using dpkg -i. If there are any issues with the installation, the script will run apt-get -f install to fix the problems. Finally, the script suggests pressing ctrl-shift-R in the browser after signing in to the OMV web interface for the changes to take effect. This script automates the process of installing the omvextras.org plugin for OpenMediaVault, ensuring that the system is properly configured and the necessary dependencies are installed. Copilot - Certainly! The script performs the following steps: 1. **Checks for Root Permissions**: It verifies if the script is executed with root privileges, which are required for making system changes. If not, it displays a message and exits with code 99. 2. **Determines System Architecture**: It identifies the architecture of the system using `dpkg --print-architecture` and checks if it's supported (arm64, armhf, amd64, i386). If the architecture is not supported, it exits with code 5. 3. **Fetches OpenMediaVault Version**: It retrieves the installed version of OpenMediaVault (OMV) and exits if the version is less than 5, as the script is designed for OMV version 5 or higher. 4. **Sets Repository List File**: It defines the path to the OMV extras repository list and removes it if it already exists to ensure a fresh setup. 5. **Downloads OMV Extras Plugin**: It constructs the download URL for the OMV extras plugin package and checks for the existence of Debian main and updates repositories in the sources list, adding them if missing. 6. **Updates Package Lists**: It runs `apt-get update` to refresh the package lists with the latest information from the repositories. 7. **Installs Prerequisites**: It installs the `gnupg` package, which is necessary for handling keys related to package verification. If the installation fails, it exits with code 10. 8. **Downloads and Installs OMV Extras Package**: It downloads the OMV extras package using `wget` and installs it with `dpkg -i`. If dependencies are missing, it runs `apt-get -f install` to fix them and updates the package lists again. 9. **Final Instructions**: It provides a reminder to refresh the browser after signing in to the OMV web interface by pressing ctrl-shift-R. The script ensures that the system is prepared and the necessary components are in place for the OMV extras plugin to be installed correctly. If you have any specific questions or need further clarification on any of these steps, feel free to ask!

Great video couldn’t get dashy setup without this. Now have to get it all setup

That organizer the cal hawks came with is awesome

Those plastic drawer keepers just pull right out. Just pull them and Chuck them in the trash.

I saw almost every your video in this playlist. My hero! I like so much your architecture, is really straightforward. I've never seen any other videos about the structure of immich and for me as for you is crucial. And then the question. External library is so usefoul in particular if you have yet your own structure for your hundred of thousands of pic and vid. BUT the automated system of upload can manage duplication. There's some workflow that can achive all these features?

"Using Your Own Directory Structure" not quite. Yes you can import from your own directory, BUT, it doesn't KEEP the same structure. Example. If you had a folder for cats and another for dogs, when you add the external libraries it will simply BUNDLE THEM altogether into 1 single big library. So they aren't keeping their original folder directory structure previously. If you want to make them in their separate folders (its called albums in immich), you have to create the a a new album then add the pictures MANUALLY for each and EVERY1. Basically if you had them already sorted in their own folders, you can scrap that since that gets ignored, and they expect you to redo it again but using albums in immich from scratch. But with photoprism, in the album creation they can import based on EXISTING folders to then create ALBUMS based on those quick and easy. That is much better than what Immich does. there are currently unofficial methods to do this with immich, but officialy? not yet afaik

Good work, great series

Thank you for your time. As a new Linux user, this was easy to follow, very informative and your voice is relaxing for late night programming

Mine just came today 🤷🏾‍♂️🤣 I need your advice!😂😂

Thanks for the great tutorials! What I especially like is the additional info you give - info only gained by experience. One thing though... If I'm not mistaken, you're exporting the borgkey to a sub folder on your data drive. What happens if your data disk crashes and for whatever reason you need the borgkey to access your backup? For that reason I keep a copy in my password manager - accessible outside the backup and data disk(s). Or am I overthinking?

Thanks for the great Tutorial

Great walk through so far! For some reason portainer & dockge dont seem to work but yacht does. but yacht seem to do the job enough for me so happy with it.

The Quinn low profile sockets are literally the same sockets with a different name on them. You can get them with husky name on them too, as well as a few other names.

Where did you get the green wrench organizers? I like those

Great vid. straight and to the point. with links and names.. well done sir, you earned another sub. only wish you would have added the link for the nano wrench that works with the sockets.

Have you heard about the project called backrest?it is based on restic. I am interesting to hear what you think. Perhaps it could be the topic of a video
