Thank you! If you are asking if this process can be used in a Proxmox VM running Ubuntu or Debian then yes. You can spin up a VM and ssh in or use the terminal and follow these exact steps. Let me know if that does not answer your question. Thanks for watching!

@@Whats.New.Andrew Perfect. So, to set up your home server, which makes you choose between virtualizing with Proxmox a Ubuntu Server VM or installing a Ubuntu server directly?. Thank you from Spain

Hi @rafapozo - I like to use Proxmox as my hypervisor because it allows a lot more flexibility over putting Ubuntu or another server on the computer as the only operating system. This approach allows me to run multiple servers at the same time on one computer. I can also create templates for different operating systems (Ubuntu, Windows, etc) and easily deploy a new VM to create a test environment, a temporary server, or a new production machine. For example, in my current homelab I have a VM running Minecraft and other VMs running different hosted apps. This way if there is an issue on the Minecraft server I can take that server offline, but none of the other servers are impacted. I can also allocate resources like RAM and CPU differently for each VM based on their needs. Hope this helps, but let me know if you have more questions! Also, kind of unrelated, but I am starting a discord server to be able to discuss all of this stuff more, so if you are interested in joining let me know and I will share the link.

@@Whats.New.Andrew Thank you very much for your time. It would be nice joining that forum

Hi @ReinonX - Glad you liked the video! Unfortunately since NetAlertX primarily focuses on the network alerts and security vs any connectivity types it will not give that at this time. You can add that information manually, but you would need to confirm on each device based on it's connectivity type.

Hi @daviddonnelly8406 - OMV is a web interface, so there will not be anything on a connected console display. You should be able to access the OMV interface by going to your-omv-ip/ and use the default username: admin and default password: openmediavault The server should run without a monitor. Let me know if I am misunderstanding the question, and thanks for watching!!

@@Whats.New.Andrew Thanks for the quick reply. Yes - some confusion. In the video at time 8:41 (approx), we are ready to install OMV. You select "Console", the console displays the "Start Now" button, at this point, the next thing that appears is a black screen stating " Display output is not active." OMV does not commence installation. I get no Proomox screen, etc. Thoughts?

I am wondering if that is a Rpi5 issue? I know that Proxmox's support for ARM devices like Raspberry Pi is experimental, and certain features (like ethernet ports) are not fully functional. I have not run Proxmox on a pi before, but here is a good video on installing Proxmox on a Rpi5, and he mentions the ethernet issues as well. My demo was just on a small desktop machine I typically use for demos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZaUkH2MoZtml5I

@@Whats.New.Andrew haha ....funny. I was just starting to watch that video. :) On another note, what is the small desktop machine you use? I am just getting into a homelab setup (just starting) and would appreciate guidance on a good starter system to grow with.

That is funny! The small machine I use for demos is a Dell Optiplex 9020. I use Proxmox as the base OS and then run VMs and LXCs on it. Depending on where you are, ebay has some that are relatively inexpensive and in both the desktop form factor and a tower version that will allow adding more internal drives. One of these would be perfect to start your setup. I use a 1 TB ssd boot drive and all the VMs sit on that.

Hello @simonelucibello1737 - That can be tricky. If you have a dedicated hardware RAID controller that can be moved (plugs into your PCI slot) then you should be ok to move to another machine provided you plug the drives back in the same way they are currently (same port order). Since the configuration is stored on the RAID controller it will handle the drive move. If you have an on-board RAID controller that is a part of your motherboard or use software RAID then it is more difficult and the chances of success are low. I have done a RAID card move successfully, but have never had success moving from an on-board RAID controller. I have not even attempted to do a migration with software RAID. The best option to not lose data is likely a backup and restore after you move the drives.

@@Whats.New.Andrew I understand, thanks. I reformatted the disks too.

Thanks! I appreciate that. Thanks so much for watching.

Hi @Wozza2011 - Thanks! Yes, here is how you can set up an NFS share on your Synology. Log into your sinology and go to your "Control Panel" In there you can click on "shared Folder" and see the shares (or create one). For the folder you want to share click edit and go to NFS permissions. Click create and fill out the IP address of your Plex machine in the Hostname field. Then you want whatever permissions below that. For squash, "Map all users to admin" will initially let you connect and test things out. Then you can change permissions later. Also check the last box for "allow users to access mounted sub folders". That should allow a connection from plex to the sinology. You will also see the mount path that you will need to use to access the folder. In your fstab file on your Plex machine you will use the following format: <IP of your Synology>:/share/folder/mount/path /mount/point/on/plex/machine nfs defaults 0 0 Hope this helps!

Oh no! Did it ever finish downloading? I hate slowwww speeds :(

@@Whats.New.Andrew It eventually did and then everything after that worked normally haha! Thank you very much for the guide, I got it fully working with no experience, I got Docker on CasaOS, on OpenMediaVault, on Proxmox, also running hackintosh and caddy reverse proxy vms haha!

@@Whats.New.Andrew So after fighting with this for wayyy too long, I realized I had to add in a runtime element along with an environmental element to my compose file: runtime: nvidia environment: - NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all - NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=compute,utility After that, I had to pull the NVIDIA runtime image as well using: docker pull nvidia/cuda:12.2.0-runtime-ubuntu22.04 Not sure if my issues were because of changes that may have occurred, or if it's because I'm doing this using WSL, but I finally got it running. Thanks for the video!

Awesome find! Thanks for posting it. Glad it is up and running for you now!

Wow, thanks so much! I really appreciate the kind words, and thanks for watching!

That is odd. The fstab is there to auto mount on reboot. Check that at the end of your line you have "nfs defaults 0 0" (without the quotes) after your path to the mountpoint. Sometimes the zeros at the end get dropped and can cause issues.

Thanks so much! I am glad that it was helpful for you, and appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.

Hi @baileyboy3687 - Changing IPs s so frustrating. I think you might want to take a look at Cloudflare tunnels! One of my first videos was about this and you don't even need to worry about port forwarding. You can set up the client on a single machine in your homelab to create the tunnel back to Cloudflare. Then within cloudflare you can point domains and sub-domains to your various machines within your network. This will bypass any issues with a change of IP as all traffic travels over the tunnel between Cloudflare and your machine. You will just need to change your nameservers to point to Cloudflare if you are not hosting your domains there already. My video is linked below. For example, you can have yourdomain.com point to your service 192.168.1.112:portX and also have subdomain.yourdomain.com point to a service on another local machine like 192.168.1.123:por2 Basically it gives you a connection directly to cloudflare and you route all your traffic from there. It is pretty easy to set up, and I am happy to answer any questions you might have on it as well. Thanks for watching! kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYC8iIKGobx5fLs

have you considered using something like a VPN with a dedicated IP? I know "Private Internet Access" has the option for Dedicated IP's, so as long as your computer is connected to the internet it wont matter what IP the ISP gives you as your publicly presented IP will not change. if you do it monthly its and additional £4.50/month for dedicated IP or pay for 3 years for £81 (£2.25/mnth)

I have the same problem with all my Starlink connections across Europe. I use Tailscale and it's free. Very easy to setup, when you connect any of your computers you connect to your own private network and you can see all your modems like a local LAN. You can even use any of your modems as an exit node to the internet, just like being local. Try it, it's saved me!

@@2000jameson sounds good, I'll have a look at that

I set it up that way since it was fairly easy, but you can definitely go with SCSI if you prefer. Since it is on a VM, the speed difference between the two in this setup was negligible. So I chose the easy and stable setup route. Thanks for watching!

Hi @hprompt166 - Yes, you would need to forward port 80 for HTTP traffic and 443 for HTTPS traffic. I probably should have spent a bit more time covering that in the video. Thanks for watching!

@@Whats.New.Andrew thx again

I can not say with 100% certainty, but everything up until installing the nvidia drives should be the same. You would need to do the AMD command for iommu vs the intel line. Also you would need to find the appropriate linux drivers for that chip. Hope this helps. Good luck, and thanks for watching!!

Great point. I wanted to be sure that those with other versions were able to easily complete this as well, but should have pointed that out as a quick approach too. That definitely is faster and easier with the latest versions of Proxmox. Thanks for watching!

Hi @jimcolwell6429 - Sorry you are having issues. Take a look at the two videos I have below about passing drives in. Both go a bit more in detail, so maybe these can help you. This should work just fine for USB drives as I am using that for one of my OMV drives. I would be carful setting the USB drives up in RAID versus using an internal drive, but passing those into OMV should work fine. Let me know if these videos help or if you are still stuck with issues! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqupkoSigbSNfKs kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZzGZp6aZ9pleKM

Hi @gianlucagiuman6132 - You can do passthrough with plex running on Docker, but you must use the LinuxServer.io docker image. Here is a link to an article that covers it, but I have not yet tested it myself. Hope this helps! tizutech.com/plex-transcoding-with-docker-nvidia-gpu/

Hi @defrom7147 - To set up an NFS share in OMV, you can do the following: 1. On the left menu go to Services 2. In the Services sub menu choose NFS 3. In the NFS sub menu select Shares 4. To the right, click the + button to create a new share 5. In the menu that pops up, select the folder you want to share in the Shared folder field (if you have not created a folder yet, you willneed to do that) 6. In the Client section, enter the IP range or specific IPs that can access the share. This will allow only those IPs access to the share 7. Set the permissions to Read/Write so you can use the folder 8. In the Extra Options field, enter input: rw,async,insecure,no_subtree_check,all_squash,anonuid=0,anongid=0 Hope this helps, and thanks for watching.

You are welcome! Thanks for watching.

Hi @mkuhnke3 - In docker you can pull the latest image and use that. Depending on how you initlally set things up you can do a couple of things: 1. If you started Frigate using the command line you can do the following 'docker pull ghcr.io/blakeblackshear/frigate:stable' to get the latest image followed by 'docker run -d ...' with all the necessary parameters to start the container 2. If you used portainer then you can do the following: Go to your stacks and under editor for Frigate click "Update the stack" In the pop up move the slider to enable "re-pull image and redeploy" This will get the latest image and then re-start everything. Hope this helps at least point you in the right direction!

@@Whats.New.Andrew you lost me at docker run -d ... my container is 100.. not an expert by any means. I looked at docker run --help but that was mind boggling

@@Whats.New.Andrew I was able to get in through protainer with some struggles however, when it comes back up it shows unhealthy. When I build it from scratch - same thing unhealthy, tried again with no cameras configured - same thing unhealthy its weird

@mkuhnke3 - Sorry for any confusion with my comment before. The second part of my comment was to use Portainer and it looks like you figured that part out. For the unhealthy container you can go into Portainer and click on "Containers" then click the checkbox to the left of your Frigate container and hit remove. You can then go back to your stack in Portainer and re-deploy Frigate again. Sometimes that helps. If it is still unhealthy, go to your containers link in Frigate and click the left icon under "Quick Actions". It looks like a paper icon and will show you the log files as Frigate is running. You can look at those for any error lines that may help see where things are having issues.

Success - after careful review I needed changes to my docker.compose file as my config.yml file was camera settings that 0.14 seems to care more about than 0.13.1 did. - Learned a lot these last few days and I appreciate the time you have spent helping.

Hi @deivissergio2378 - the drive configuration part of the video should work just fine for USB as well. They will show up the same way an internal drive would. When you connect them and go to storage on your proxmox node you will see them found as sdb/sdc or similar. The partitions will also show that already exist. In your case the EXT4 partitions. My only caveat is that if these are your only copy of the data be careful. I have had migrations like this work and also have them fail miserably and had to restore the data. Something to keep in mind so you do not lose everything. Good luck, and thanks for watching!

@@Whats.New.Andrew Thanks Andrew, worked lime a charm !! I was able to map the USB drives as "SATA" drives, and the system recognized the old files structure, and everything worked fine. I also noticed that the file transfer between computers and NAS improved like 20% in speed (so I really had a limitation using my Raspberry Pi, perhaps also to manage the USB and data transfer was quite hard for the RPi).

Hi @misterkush7 - you can add more media folders/libraries by going to the settings menu. Here is a link to the overview on how to create libraries in Plex. Let me know if this does not help! support.plex.tv/articles/200288926-creating-libraries/

@@Whats.New.Andrew Unfortunately, it only ever pops up the web interface. There's not been an option where I can specify that the machine running Plex is the server itself. I do think that this has something to do with my Proxmox environment, and I was considering nuking the node and starting from scratch. I appreciate your help man!

Hi @MortenSJ007 - Make sure you are running it as a privileged container as I have seen that issue typically when it is unprivileged. If you are running privileged and are still having issues then I would suggest trying one of the great Proxmox VE Helper-scripts. This will save a lot of frustration and headaches. The one to create an LXC in Proxmox is located at the link below and has the option to install Portainer and Docker Compose: tteck.github.io/Proxmox/#docker-lxc You can open your shell in your Proxmox VE and run the bash script from the site there to create the LXC automatically. It will ask a series of set up questions similar to setting up an LXC in the Proxmox GUI, and once you go through the options you will be prompted if you want to install Portainer and Docker Compose. Say yes, and it will install both for you. Let me know if you still have questions! Good luck!

@@Whats.New.Andrew Thanks Andrew! I was able fix it by adding lxc.cgroup2.devices.allow: a and lxc.cap.drop: to my <ID>.conf file.

Awesome! I’m so glad this video was useful to you.

Hi @kastanf1 - Sorry to be slow reply...It looks like your comment got held for some reason. That error means that even though you have edited the fstab file it is still referencing the old one, so you either need to run the command 'systemctl daemon-reload' or reboot the LXC. Hopefully you were able to move past this successfully! Thanks for watching.

Hi @blemysh0 - Thanks for the feedback. To check if it will work on a Mac with an integrated GPU, you need to identify your GPU. Go into the shell of the Proxmox node (not a VM) and type 'lspci'. This command will display all PCI devices on the machine. If the integrated GPU is an NVIDIA card then I would think this guide would work. You can test it with a new VM. If it doesn't work, you can simply delete the VM and then revert the changes on the Proxmox node. If you need help reverting the changes, I can provide the steps. I haven't run Proxmox on a Mac, so I'm not entirely sure without knowing the hardware. The 'lspci' command should help identify it for you.

@@Whats.New.Andrew Hi again, unfortunaunfortunately, my Mac sais VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09).
