Raspberry Pi 5 Mastery: Create a Powerful Home Server/Home lab

[@williamp6800]

Nice to see someone making a conscious distinction between self hosting (home server) and a home lab.

[@Technikzentrale24]

Thats one of the Most important Thing! I could always freak out if the People are running wild calling it .. ."Here is my home lab... there is my storage ... in the homelab ... bla bla bla". No my fkkkking gosh: its a Laboratory. The name is calling this. its a "Test enviroment". its NOT the PRODUCTIVE Area. That has to be separated. :-) So... for me, Kev´ i absolutely right, to seperate it that so clear :-)

I came here to refresh my docker knowledge and learn about home assistant but a major takeaway is the "pinout" command! How VERY useful 😀

Thanks again! I don't have enough time for everything today. but, I know you have all the resources up for us later. BTW while at a Happy lemon store in Silicon Valley, a friend was having lunch and asked about your T-shirt. I had no problem telling them how great your content has been for me. Hopefully others seen me sporting your merch.

Hello Mr Kevin McAleer, I find your tutorials very interesting. I have installed sql server on docker on raspberry pi5, but I can't manage to connect to the database on azure data studio or sql server management. I have installed postgres and I connect easily. Can you help me? thank you

I was creating HyperV VMs with shared parent images branching off each other with no bloat. I’d stick the OS copies and any other foundation images on a high speed read only RAID array for fantastic performance. In 15 seconds could ‘docker-compose’ a wide array of multi-server deployments with all the networking and hardware already configured and talking. That was over 15 years ago. As the world devolved into docker everything, all the ‘benefits’ I’d hear were also possible out of box with VMs. The difference was that docker seems to have been created by people who hate humans.

[@IanHodgetts]

Small point but in your install instructions for docker, after the "sudo apt update" there should also be a "sudo apt upgrade" (otherwise you will just get a list of updates but not actually install them).

Great Video, looks like you need lots of time to prepare to make those Videos. I enjoy watching them! Thanks

[@kevinmcaleer28]

Yes - it’s all my free time

[@ytfp]

Nice video, looks like you have had quite a fun week.

[@jonathanr4242]

Thank you, Kevin. That is very helpful. I've been running Ubuntu on my pi, but there's a fair bit of trouble shooting, so I might switch to pi os with docker

Nextspace mate!! you should have added it :) An online dropbox like storage service!! If you have better idea, feel free to share it :) Thank you.

I am running NPM Nginx Proxy Manager in a container to route all my incoming traffic. It was easier to set up than full Nginx.

[@kevinmcaleer28]

I've not seen that before - Thanks for the tip. For what it's worth, it wasn't difficult to set up Nginx to do routing, my source files are available on the ClusteredPi GitHub too.

Hi I keep getting stuck it gives me a curl error after going cd into documents

[@aravjain]

Can I do this on a single Raspberry Pi 5 or would it be better to use a cluster of 8GB Pi 5s (of about 2-3 worker nodes, especially since I would like to run AI language models on this as well)? Also, are you able to make a video in the future of how to make a cluster of Raspberry Pi 5s?

[@Iswimandrun]

Got one booting from USB 3.0 and one on pcie 3.0 x1 lane.

[@michaellaw3084]

Q: Would it be more efficient to run a headless raspberry pi os compared to the desktop version you installed or would the performance gains be minimal?

[@kevinmcaleer28]

Minimal - if your not using the desktop it doesn’t take up any compute cycles, and barely any ram

[@joseph9915]

Why not use the $HOME and/or $USER env variables in your scripts, instead of using "/home/pi" or "/home/kev" etc?

[@kevinmcaleer28]

Smart - I will use these from now on!

[@abzs5811]

Who’s that woman in the back???

[@grimuk3817]

A five minute intro? Comon, dude ...

[@kevinmcaleer28]

I remove that once KZbin has processed the video. You can just fast forward it
