We used rocket chat a couple of years before teams.
Worked great.

Thanks again mate, the amount of knowledge you are putting out here is amazing, I hope one day I will able to give back... much love.

[henderstech]

Thank you so much for what you do. I really apreciate it.

[mdalnamer]

Thank You very much for your effort and amazing videos.

Great video as always. One note about security patching, definitely worth using unattended-upgrades. I’ve saved so much time by doing that, and you can set which updates you want to be done automatically (I only do security ones, I like to do the others by hand). ☺️

Very feature rich. More than what I was expecting.

Jitsi call made annoying login request (waiting moderator to join), how to deal with this sir?

[dreyfusfunkt]

I really appreciate your excellent videos! Would love a revisit of FreeIPA (or whatever you would use these days)..I just set it up on a Proxmox VM using Alma Linux 9.4.

I love the idea of self-hosted chat+conferencing! Keep up the great videos!!!

Great video Brian, thanks! How about a video on Typebot?

Is everything you build exists in your home folder? Another question is, if I build docker items/apps, how much of space I need for present and future whatever docker projects I will make? And as a third question, If I make my home folder a separate drive (so that I can change to bigger if fills up) could that affect, hit performance of running docker apps?

[jhjacobs]

We moved from RC to a Matrix server. I’ll never look back :)

Hi, Q if ok with you? I thought my docker knowledge was much better but.. better safe than sorry. I already have your-list-my-get app mongodb so will it add just another table inside if I type the mongodb name from your last video? Well, let's see - like the guy from Killercoda labs says - better one test than 1000 talks/discussions... great video as always... I feel stupid repeating it so I'll just comment for the algorithm. By now you probably know how good you and your content are...

Hola, excelente contenido, ya esta proximo q salir la version 3 de wiki.js. ojala puedas hacer un video de ello.

[underintact]

You should cover tube archivist sometime

[isashimitsui]

It was a good chat but it's really bad that after getting a solid community they are switching to a commercial model, removing features already present in the community edition (like recently availability status and read receipts).
Also quite unfair their explanations to the devs and supporter in the community (the just mentioned features were removed due to "performance" issues and put behind a paywall)
