Easier than change the thermal paste in my xbox one

I live Off Grid in the Ozark Mountains and this just what I was looking for..and I just so happen to have everything to get it going thanks..Guess ya get another sub

Can i connect harddisk to this router

you showing 1 smaller SSD then a second samsung ssd you installed at the DVD drive, where is the first ssd connected?

Hope the usb media sharing function is still available. Bought the GL.iNet GL-SFT1200 because it has more and better network ports but to my horror they quietly remove the nas function last year and money was wasted.

Can raspberry pi 4 4gb be used?

What raspberry pi are you running?

Does it support usb tethering from a phone?

sudo apt install plexmediaserver Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package plexmediaserver

Hi, I followed the instruction twice but at the end wlan0 is still a client and connects automatically to my network instead of creating it's own network with different name. how can I make wlan0 start the AP mode?

can I get service to this device wirelessly? like can I use it as a standalone MIFI device if I have no other internet access?

Can this router power supply be switched to battery bank ? What capacity should be used, and what cables are required ?

The best thing I have found is put the motherboard in not full home and put the front cable in the side motherboard fully home make life easier.

I'm running a Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3470T CPU @ 2.90GHz 35w all good.

I also am running the Microserver Gen8. I only got 8Gb of RAM in mine, but I do not recognise your dashboard. I have ESXI Vsphere installed on my machine, so that I can run multiple VMs. The dashboard I have is the ILO one, and the ESXI dashboard. What is the max RAM it can handle. I am thinking of upgrading my ram. I got a total of 20Tb of hard drive space.

When I Check status it fails... I already tried to install all over again... always the fail to start message

Can you put a sim to it to have internet?

Is the docker network driver in the description correct? Shouldn't it either be `ipvlan` or `macvlan` (rather than `pivlan`)?

I know, a comment on an older video. But a very good video! Some further info for any looking for ideas: MyGen8 has been running an E3-1240v2 for some years without any issues - 69w! I had wedged an old PCI slot blower between the heatsink and the back panel over my cooling concerns - very good temps indeed reported by ESXi, and rock-solid... ...said ancient PCI-slot blower gave up the ghost about the same time I put a Tesla P4 in my system (with a 40x50x10mm blower carefully super-glued on the end. Out annoyance I put the whole thing back together without the extra fan on the passive CPU cooler and much to my surprise the temps are still excellent - up to 45c! I suspect helped by the intake of blower on the end of the Tesla card drawing it's air across the CPU heatsink along with the bog old fan on the back of the system. Very happy, no issues. I guess HP built a fair bit if headroom in to the cooling solution. PS: Why an E3-1240v2? At the time I did the upgrade this family of CPU's were still going for a bit of money and the negligible step down from the fastest offering or a similar performing 45w chip chopped a really big lump off the cost. As a bonus the server's VGA port still works in spite of this supposedly being a IGP-less CPU. Given low prices today I'd just buy the best CPU I could find. I hope that's of help to someone.

Hi - I have upgraded the processor and added 4x 2" fans in a push pull setup across the heatsink connected to a thermal controller so that when the temperature rises above whatever I set it to, the fans power on and bring the temperature down but I'm struggling to find the mini molex to SATA power connector. Can you let me know where it came from please

I have a question, i'm about to get the same server for my homelab, is it possible to swap that heatsink for a cpu heatsink like the one given by amd with the fan, is there an additional fan port ?

Thanks for all this. However, how do you achieve all this (access point, traffic forwarding etc) with Network Manager? I'm using the latest release of Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit) with deskstop (5 Dec 2023), and as I understand it uses Network Manager by default instead of dhcpcd.

How did you get it to boot? I installed Truenas on my Gen8 by usb stick on the motherboard, but after installation it won’t boot into Truenas OS but instead keeps cycling back into the hp start screen over and over again. What am I doing wrong?

Where did you get the mini molex to sata adapter I’m having a hard time finding them online

Bro ive been looking for a Replacement for RAVPOWER FILEHUB here in the Philippines but unluckily i cannot find one until this video came. my main purpose of the gadget is to File Share my External Hardrive Offline. can i do it here ? what is the maximum TB would be posible to plug in this Router ? thank you if you will reply ... God Bless

I'm trying to login from the net to my usb and not having luck...

Thank you for this video, I have such a machine using it for home storage and I was thinking of upgrading it, you saved me a lot of research.

Hi, could you provide link to the mini molex to sata cable you used as having trouble sourcing one, tia.

Really good video. Clear, nicely paced. A+

Thank you for this video. Can you do another video with the new openmediavult along with all the other instruction from this video. My openmediavault is not the same as your in the video. Thank you

What is your idle power consumpti0on?

Hi​ @techtriedandtested ! What type(brand, MHz, voltage, etc.) of memory did you use?

Any fan headers on the board?

I dont get absolute paths in Absolute path table in omv 6.5. anybody knows why? How can I display those and copy it to compose file?

Any issues without using an LSA pce for the disks in TrueNas? I'm willing to install TrueNAS Scale thought.

Hi, I followed the tutorial and installed plex (not wireless part) on my pi4 already running Raspberry Pi os 32 bit Desktop version (as you also used in tutorial). Now Plex is up and running with two external HDD (4TB + 2TB). All my content is on Plex without a problem. Unfortunately I have a major problem now not related to Plex. My Pi OS Desktop is gone ! Have I done something wrong? or is this expected? If this was expected, it should be mentioned at the beginning. Anyway, is there a solution for this situation? Excluding "reinstalling everything" because I also have "Home Assistant" installed in a container letting me use my Pi4 also for a desktop pc.

Currently i have a ssd with usb to sata connecter, I've been trying months to get my server running from that extra sata port with ssd. How did you do it? I have the molex connector. I'm also using Truenas. I've got 4x 4TB WD Red drives in raid 5. I have the i3-3240 cpu.

hi guys =D I am about to buy the Gen8 to be my main plex server is it good? I don't understand so much about computers so I really don't know if these numbers will make my streaming ( one device or 2 maximum ) smooth I have 4 harddisks (3TB X4 ) loaded with blue ray movies and 1080

PiHole also doesn't work with the command above when pasting it in, all you get is Error response from daemon: plugin "pivlan" not found Your explanation is really good in your videos, but I think the descriptions and commands are already outdated, it's a pity.

Thank you so much for part 1 and part 2 of this video, the way you explain and do everything is at a awesome pace, and makes it easy to follow. Both videos are the best guides of anything I’ve seen in years. Especially for a newbie like me to all this complicated Raspberry PI stuff, only getting into it now at 44 😂 Please make more on Raspberry Pi stuff, you really do your videos very well. Thank you again.

To set your mind at rest, I've found the standard cooling in the Gen8 is really capable. I've been running the E3-1230 v2 since 2015 without encountering any issues and I run test labs with multiple VMs. I'm not deliberately pushing the CPU hard, but it deals with fairly busy workloads no problem.

I have 5 of these servers all upgraded to xeons. They where decommissioned around 4 years ago and sat in my garage. 6 months ago I had the same idea as you of converting them to truenas servers. One by one I tested them and they had the same hardware error (with nand flash from memory). Sad, they where Google machines

Volumes kinda low , but great idea nonetheless

Usb speed ?

Nicely detailed video, always been tempted to pick up one of these Microservers.

Hi, to use the mass storage device feature does the AC750 needs to be connected to another network or can it work by itself? like transferring files from a drive connected to the usb port of the AC750 and the PC connnected via Wi-Fi. A completely isolated network, no internet.

Ok I have downloaded all the stuff to run pi-hole through raspberryPi, but why am I getting more advertisements than before, how do I connect to the router, do I physically need to plug it to the router with the law wire. I am confused what the next step after downloading pi-hole how do I run it.

hi! hope you can give me a hand after this sudo service dhcpcd restart i get the following message client_loop: send disconnect: Connection reset goes back to cmd, and can't seem to get back into the raspberry through ssh. I get a "connection timed out" message

Awesome tutorial, built this for the kids for long car trips, works a treat. Not sure it's possible but thought I would ask (had a look around for a solution online without much success), if you can use the auto mount directory "/media/USER" in case I use a different USB drive without having to always manually mount it in fstab?

Thank you for taking the time to create this tutorial.
