How to Homelab: 3 awesome apps to run on your Raspberry Pi

[@albanomelo7953]

Keep going, I'm right now creating a homelab in an older computer and I really love your videos. Love your passion.

[@bayramalibostanc9812]

Me too! Good luck.

[@kupertjerobin]

If you can get away with it I would use a PI, since it uses less power

[@albanomelo7953]

Right now can´t afford buying a Pi so i will try with an older computer

[@v1991c]

You misexplained pi hole. It does not "block" ad related dns requests, it actually answers with its own ip and returns an empty page

[@GCTWorks]

You can also power the PIs with PoE hats. There are also 3d printable rack mount brackets for a bunch of PIs that have cages that fit the PIs plus PoE hats.

[@je-fq7ve]

if you are running from a POE switch, get a POE splitter that has an Ethernet and USB C connection.

[@mascatrails661]

WIth the newer version of rpi imager, you can set some configs, including enabling ssh and your wifi network and password (as well as disabling overscan, setting a hostname, setting a username and password, and locale settings) all within the GUI before flashing the card

Thanks for your great work. I started using my pi with Nextcloud first. So i used the Nextcloudpi image for Nextcloud. I just wanted i easy way to get my data baack in my home, espacially from my phone. Later i wanted more, and now i ran BitwardenRS , Jellyfin, Nginx, Portainer, Heimdall via Docker. Now all the smartphones are only syncing with my pi. I also replaced the sdcard with an ssd so the pi is booting from it. On the second usb port i have an usb hub with to ssd on it. On for all the data and a secand for the first step of my backup strategy.

[@korrupted80]

That's so cool! Could you consider doing a writeup for others?

[@jankroh3194]

I already started. I use it for myself, so i can rebuild my Pi easily when it crashes. Still needs some tuning and translation, because i wrote it in german. Any idea how i could published it?

[@korrupted80]

You can try hosting on Google sites for free. Maybe use a blog type of format! I think that's the easiest way. I'm not going to deny I want to do the exact same thing you did! 😁

[@korrupted80]

I could give you a few ideas on how to create the blog!

[@jankroh3194]

@@korrupted80 That would be very nice.

[@DanCalloway]

Jay, great video as usual. I've had OMV 5.x installed on my home network now for about a year with external spinning SATA drives and SSDs setup as NFS/CIFS shares. Great system. Very stable and effective. BTW, I'm about half-way through your latest book and am simply loving it. Nice job on the book. Take care.

[@narendralv6379]

Thanks! Please make a video on installing all three applications on a single Pi.

[@LearnLinuxTV]

That would be a video on virtual hosts. Typically, I recommend one app per Pi - if any one app on a single Pi has IO contention, each app will become unavailable (single point of failure). But that doesn’t mean I won’t do a video on it though. I’ll definitely consider it.

[@ourkid2000]

@@LearnLinuxTV Pretty cool idea. I am curious about what you mean by Virtual Hosts.....sounds like a really interesting video though!

[@paulmacgiollacaoine8619]

Can Pi-Hole be used as a VPN for the home network?

[@TheilTube]

Why would you run NextCloud AND OpenMediaVault at the same time? (And on the same Pi) Are these two not doing almost the same? Where would you differentiate usage of the two?

[@aishasaeed2467]

Yes I was confused about this also. I first decided on OMV, but before installing came across NextCloud and felt that was the next level solution, so discarded the OMV idea. Watching this video confused me. Also see videos with ppl using Docker with NextCloud. Another unknown.

[@myhackertech]

Always a pleasure watching your videos! to the point, no going around the bush

[@fvgoya]

Does anyone knows how to host Pi-Hole and Apache in the same Raspberry Pi 4?? Both use port 80. TO use Pi-Hole I need to deactivate Apache... :-(

[@riskyrun]

I ran into the same problem. Did you find a fix?

[@jakelitherland439]

For anyone that sees this pi-hole runs using lighttpd, the port that lighttpd runs on can be altered by changing the conf file 🤞

[@ShawnLivesInItaly]

thanks Jay that is what my server is running on when I am reading your book at the moment with my homelab

[@Jetta4TDIR]

Any episode 6? I don't see a playlist or a episode 6

[@majorgear1021]

The applications part of the video starts at 12:47 .

[@boi_doingthings]

Nobody needs a full raspberry pi 4 for just a pinhole running. A pi zero w is more than enough. Pi4 is an overkill.

[@Showuk]

I've got pihole on an original pi. It's superb. Also got a pi 3 doing nothing. Could do with looking at these options as I also have a nas that currently isn't on the network.

[@LearnLinuxTV]

Having an extra Pi available is a super power.

[@anjanbora7943]

U r most humble n calm guy I see on KZbin. U look like an innocent calm loving penguin 🐧. I decently say I ❤️ u n 🙏 respect u. I never miss any of your video.

[@jothain]

It might be better option to buy some quite low level Intel NUC and run all of these in one, instead of buying Pi's. I was about to order one new RPI4 and I was astound how high the prices are currently. You can actually get a NUC for same price as rpi4 "full kit". Not cool.

[@LearnLinuxTV]

Running a virtualization solution on the Nuc would be a great way to do it. Multiple apps on one server can make it harder in IO.

[@alexandervankevich4937]

Super tiny dell or hp pc is a great option.

[@jothain]

@@alexandervankevich4937 True, also Lenovo has similar models. There's occasionally really good used deals on these.

[@nixoncoronado5558]

Hello Jay, do you have reference on how to install proxmox using raspberry pi4. If so, please let me thank you

[@marco-lk3hj]

Have you managed to install Proxmox on your Raspberry pi4?

[@derekgoodwine7509]

Once again superb video, full with a lot of common sense, judgment, and wise suggestions! Great series!

[@rootpt]

4:39 Thank me l8r

[@richardnelson1684]

Open Media Vault on a RPi4 is incredibly slow. Write speeds to either a USB stick or 4TB SSD (6Gb/s) on a USB cable were equally slow at 8.5 to 10.5 MB/s. The same SSD and cable on a Windows 10 system wrote at 350MB/s. I abandoned OMV.

[@cyntax4046]

thanks man. I just purchased a Pi 4 and looking for apps to install.

[@antonsurviyanto5896]

hello Sir, can I install all those three apps ( OMV, NC, pi-hole) in one Raspberry Pi? Or do I need to buy 3 Raspberry Pi? Thank you.

[@jothain]

It's possible to install them all. Afaik the best method would be to run those in containers.

[@io2112]

I have pi-hole and OMV running on a single RPi 3B. It's been working fine, although I'm planning to migrate OMV to the newer RPi 4 since it has Gb Ethernet and USB 3.0 ports.

Already in progress. 😀

Hi Jay, thanks for the video. What is the model of your pfsense router?
