Beautiful, but it is not working with external drives. It would be fun with an usb HDD, where plex folders and transmission folders are on the external HDD. Until it is a pain. THX!

can i ask, why did you installed desktop gui? it's seems, you could install only minimal server setup

[bitninja]

nice video. How do you connect to anther computers share drive and use it with the system?

So useful this video. Thank you. One question, I am planning to buy a barebones Mini PC and then tag on RAM and SSD to it. Can I just flash the ISO on ether on my mac and then stick the USB to the Mini PC and have it boot off that and that should work instead of buying a MiniPC with a Windows OS?

I didn't follow the video so closely but what is the performance of the device? i think in this time and age a plex server is rarely a media server for the household but rather the one who runs it shares it with family and friend with ez. A tiny Pi or whatever is running it can rarely handle 5-10x simultaneous streams. Just in my house we can have 2-3 streams going with the kids etc and then some 1-5 streams from the outside.

just because you can host a plex server on something isn't always the right way to go is my point.

Good video as usual. How is casa os compared to openmediavault? I am thinking for a bigger server, not a mini pc.

Hi, I wonder why not use Ubuntu Server as base image for install? or some other reasons to prefer Xubuntu?

[adamoslizlok]

Love the videos! What if you want to add a hard drive but don't want to format it. I have a drive with data I want to use, how do I mount it?

Whata pain. We need a casaOS type system that has the OS with it. Like Home Assistant does in the full version. It would take care OS updates and networking.

@technodad, are you moving away from open media vault?

[CiprianNitu]

The "Shared" function is related to CasaOS? or is just File Browser

[HyperDamage]

Hi TechnoDad, I followed this guide. had casaOS on a raspi4 but got a n100 mini pc so did the upgrade, but now, every few minutes or even while using plex the files are no longer availlable . always have to restart the server for plex to be able to read the files. Is it a power managment thing ?

[roystervi]

Hi when you update addons example Plex does the location change because you move the location ??

[PawanSagar-wblb]

how to enable or use recycle bin in OMV.???

[AleksandrPushin]

What about upgrade to OpenMediaVault 7?

[carlosmarquez]

would this also work on a mac? Ive been looking for a way to get casaOS working on a mac mini.

Your video has been the most helpful, but CasaOs is not for beginners or anyone that does not know Linux programming. I now have CasaOs installed but still has problems. Tried adding an external drive, installing it following your instructions, it did not go exactly like your instructions, seems to be installed. Next hurdle is trying to upload video folders, Having to upload one at a time with 30% failure rate will take weeks. I am not impressed with anything about CasaOs, it is crap, nothing but bugs, with little support. Most "programmers" appear to be guessing at problems. I like technology but CasaOs is for people that have no other life.

Just install Ubuntu server os base Debian for CasaOS why Ubuntu with x server

[erhancevik]

casaOS is good but only outdated Apps not good 👍
