Perfect timing on this series. Just got a new PC so I am turning the old one into a home server. Can't wait for part 2 :)

[Danbearpig]

Thank you! I’m new to Ubuntu, and couldn’t find beginner-friendly answers to my troubles online until this guide very clearly laid out what to do and what step I missed.

[julianrousseau]

This is just what I've been looking for! Please upload part 2 soon!

[maikucream]

This is exactly the kind of guide I was looking for!

[andyjeong]

Great tutorial, and I'm commenting on this after I finished the nextcloud video. Took some time trying to port forward on the at&t router admin panel but it all worked out in the end. Thanks!

This is a super well made tutorial and easy to follow. However I think it's important to add that if you have the ubuntu server and windows installed on the same PC, Make sure "Fast Startup" on windows is disabled! You will have errors if you don't disable this. Still, this is a super useful and underrated tutorial.

Roman thank you so much for part 1. Looking forward to the following parts.

My suggestion/trick:
Set the DHCP pool as follows:
For a Class C IPv4 addressing scheme:
192.168.1.101 - 192.168.1.254
So that the addresses from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.100 will be used as STATIC addresses. This helps if you run a home lab.

Really like your videos man! Keep up the good work! Ready for part 2

[bootifulghost]

Awesome, thanks man. Top notch quality (overall), imho better than a lot of 100k+ Tech-Youtubers. Keep it up, Roman.
Also really looking forward to the Confluence and Jira Software :D

Hi man! looks nice,
Regarding to the prepare an alias for ssh connection, the best practice would be to prepare a ~ / .ssh /cofig file in the file we enter the data for the ssh connection and then connect via ssh linkname.

[papperme]

Wow. Such a good informative place. Have to look closer to your contents. Thank a lot for your hard work to share ....

[yassinenacif]

Truly looking forwared the next videos

[t_Radikl]

I have been searching for an ultimate home server YT guide, but was frustrated at all the others on YT. This is the ONE!! Thank you!! I may have missed it, but do you have the hardware you used to build your server (i.e. motherboard, cpu, ram, etc.)?

[RoastedHVAC]

FYI for any others out there. After adding the new alias to the .bashrc file. Run this command to refresh the .bashrc configuration.

source ~/.bashrc

Then you should be able to use the alias.

Great video, thank you. I am using OMV5 now but I'll install ubuntu server and I am looking for web ui for ubuntu server to access from network or internet.
