my FAVORITE Home Server Dashboard - Homarr Setup in Docker

[@hafenauer]

Your previous video showing Homarr inspired me to use it. Keep showing us awesome projects like this!

[@jonjohnson2844]

I probably wasn't feeling it but I found this a complete PIA to set up into anything that felt in any way useful

[@RealAct]

Been using Homarr for months now and I absolutely love it. Latest version made it even better. Great vid btw, always checking out your nice channel @TechHut.

[@jessepatterson8897]

I just set it up, and at first I was like "I run all these services, I need a dashboard to be like the cool unraid kids" but now I have no idea why I even did it. slightly more functionality than my bookmarks bar.

[@RealAct]

@@jessepatterson8897 the more you use it and learn its tricks, the more you will love it. Before I knew Homarr existed, I simply used to create a WordPress page with many blocks and links inside each block. Now I can never go back.

[@michaelboyd353]

Can you make a video on how to setup a brand new linux server, configuring external drives and such for container data? Would be super helpful!

[@TechHut]

Yeah I'm planning on doing this. I'm not sure the exact route I should take. I'm debating between OpenMediaVault or just doing everything on a base Ubuntu install. Unraid is my personal preference but it's paid.

[@michaelboyd353]

@@TechHut Wow wasn't expecting a fast reply! I love the vids, and it made me want to start my own home server! Currently struggling on setting the default volume to my external drive, but I am using ubuntu! Would love to see the video! I do have my old PC I am using to mention as well!

[@thedinotamergaming]

@@TechHut base Ubuntu plz without using linode

[@rustedgaming8224]

I would love to see one on ubuntu as im trying to avoid the overhead of vms and just installing ubuntu

[@michaelboyd353]

@@rustedgaming8224 Same! I have the physical pc thankfully

[@MrJarpo]

Thank you for this video! My home setup is due for some improvements and your videos have inspired me.

[@itizwin]

I am using homepage docker. It's really good as well. Definitely recommended !

[@SpaceGuy101]

I do not mean to criticize however the install process is out of date. You now need to also mount a data folder to the container as of 0.14. Hope I was able to help

[@TechHut]

They need to update their docs then 😭

[@soldierofrome5374]

@@TechHut They did, on a sidenote they were quite fast to update the docs actually. I think it was just timing, the update was released only a few days ago and I assume you recorded this video just before the update was released. It's not your fault, these things just happen.

[@FhazalFPV]

i try to install but don't know how to configure the data can it be same like doing configs and icons under homarr folder mkdir data? is that correct?

[@SpaceGuy101]

@@FhazalFPV I was a little late but if you still care and haven't figured it out I can try to help you.

[@ggfools]

Homarr looks nice, I like the docker integration and easy setup... but I can't leave homepage despite its more complex config file based setup, it's just so good.

[@cassell1253]

sooo i already have all my stuff setup on windows and when i enter in example: jellyfin i use my ipv4 instead of localhost as i assume localhost would be the docker container but it cant access it or im getting connection refused. do you know how i can fix this?

[@ianfrye8988]

Can you make a video on how you run your containers through provoxy

[@apolloeosphoros4345]

I already built my own dashboard (nothing fancy for now, just a bunch of links using Ionic Framework) but I love seeing people's dashboards, gives me ideas

[@oberfragger]

Thanks a lot. I have searched a lot due the missing docker icon on the top right. Seems its now gone to: Manage/ Tools/ Docker :(

[@FunRegarderFilms]

Wow! I was using Homepage but mainly for Plex and the RR apps. That is a great upgrade.

[@zaPp0]

does anyone know if there is a way to integrade rutorrent? it automaticly uses the right icon but i cant get a connection. Unauthorized: 401 (denied)

[@eriksteenhart4928]

The only thing i cant to work is the Media Requests i got Overseerr. it keeps saying no requests found. Please ensure that you've configured your apps correctly

[@OggieDoggie]

Homarr looked great but guess at least according to ttek that we should look for an alternative. So is there a working way to install homarr that you know of yet? I am only like 48 hours into my proxmox journey but really have enjoyed your content. please keep us updated.

[@Apollopayne25]

When adding Plex and adding active stream widget. The widget doesn’t show the active streams? Plex tile works going into Plex

[@sherifhamad6504]

Thank you so much, how can I secure this so that not everyone can play with my local server ?

[@fezzik1620]

Brandon, love your videos, but for the LOVE OF FRANK - It's PORTainer - PORT - the icon is a crane moving _containers_ like you would find at a shipping PORT. PORT, not PRO. I know it doesn't matter, but it's stressing out my dog, because I yell at the screen every time you call it PROtainer.

[@TechHut]

I'll try to do better 😭 I even said it out loud to myself like five times before this and I still messed up.

[@fezzik1620]

@@TechHut, in the list of things that DO NOT MATTER, this tops the list (it is the least of important). The content is GREAT. Keep up the good work. 😁

[@goofballbiscuits3647]

It's actually PROtainer because we are all professionals here. It takes a pro to use a crane 💅

[@neaumusic]

also LIB RARY 😂 not libary

[@MichaelTavares]

Let’s not go to MEEER (mirror is a two syllable word)

[@wasimgulam]

amazing vid would love if you made a full vid of all the homelab apps how to install from from the start like this vid

[@variable_0]

I used to use this, but it keeps messing up because of my window tiling, adjusting each was time consuming especially when I add a new service. Ended up moving to Heimdall

[@nottabandaid]

if it hasn't been said yet if you click on the cog icon in the category there is a "move up" and "move down" option..

[@parshathy6317]

how do you install it on docker desktop?

[@viashshah8026]

Can I install homarr on a Mac ? I have a Mac mini I am using as an HTPC. And if yes, do I need to use docker to run it?

[@AustinsMind]

I cannot get the Media server widget to work even after making sure everything is working properly via the documentation. Do plex and other containers need to be in the same stack via portainer as homarr for the widgets to work properly? I would like to keep these seperate if possible because I have like a general purpose stack then a media stack.

[@HunterOrock]

Can you explain why you run the OS you chose to for your home lab. Why this over CasaOS or ProxMox?

[@luk1505]

Yeah, this is a cool project, but right from the get go I encountered a super annoying bug. You can't remove that big welcome message widget! There is suppose to be a delete button, but it just doesn't appear in the UI. I guess sometimes text config is superior, huh?

[@decafpancakes]

Insert this into custom css as a temporary solution. .mantine-UnstyledButton-root:has(> .tabler-icon-edit) { display: none; }

[@mlpzaqwer]

To clarify, you have Homarr installed on your NUC, but Plex container and deluge are on some other machine? Why not have it all on the NUC?

[@protacticus630]

Great, may I ask why Deluge instead of qBittorent, personal preference or something else?

[@donpeer4477]

What would you recommend for security cams? So many of them store their pictures/videos openly in the cloud! This cannot stand.

[@M167A1]

Interesting. Happy with Casa though

[@Dorkasoris07]

Love your vidoes man! Anyway you can explain the widget you have that lets you know if someone is logged into something?

[@darojax]

Brilliant app, man, thanks for sharing!

[@zerog456]

I’m running a windows server using amp from cubecoders for games and plex, it’s been giving me a lot of issues as amp is a more Linux friendly setup. I’m new to dockers and how they work and want to switch over to Linux for better amp integration. But every time I try I have a shit ton of issues, current issue, system was working fine yesterday with plex. Today. Nothing. lol.

[@foofighter21]

how did you get the JRE torrents to load?

[@UltimateArts13]

why does my homarr look nothing like yours???

[@Hjack7377]

The Media server widget doesnt work, it shows nothing

[@cvondaelen7223]

What reverse proxy do you prefer for a unraid server?

[@stayupthetree]

seems they updated since you made the video and want a new folder mapping :D

[@CamiloAlmada]

Sorry for asking, but I'm curious, what is jre? all i can think of is jerry rig everything jaja

[@wallyhackenslacker]

Java Runtime Environment? That's where I've heard those initials.

[@hafenauer]

it's probably joe rogan experience podcast

[@michaelosmolski]

Great video and tutorial. Since Homarr has support, i assume it's possible to grab an UNRAID dashboard widget and display this along side other Homarr widgets? For example; the IPMI or Corsair PSU plugin dashboard?

[@darthkielbasa]

Idea: expand Techhut Media to include content from specific creators on specific topics.

[@redstonelayer09]

Great video just watching now! (First!)

[@inakilarramendi787]

PROTAINER?

[@neonanotux]

did not work

[@ryanmalone2681]

Homarr must be the most overhyped bit of homely software I've ever used. Many of the apps don't work, and the ones that do work are just a ping and a hyperlink to the container. Whoopdidoo. It's pretty pointless in my experience.

[@jckf]

PORTainer, because it goes with DOCKer.

[@jessepatterson8897]

don't use the docker built in app browser if you're on arm ;)

[@RynoKotze]

dont know why but when you say protainer instead of what it is portainer i feel like punching the screen :) maybe just me

[@denirodarkqwerty]

“Protainer”
