Thanks for the mention, really appreciate it. Great setup and video btw, I'm still to play with CasaOS. This has spurred me on!

"...services I haven't moved over..." "...I will eventually get rid of that..." There is no solution more permanent than a temporary one.

Frigate is your answer for webcams. Great home assistant integration.

Hardware Haven is running magic in his homelab. That's how the videos are so good.

Completely agree with victualing pf-sense and any other thins in this mater.
- Why change it if all still works just fine
- If i want to try something new, just spin new VM
This is a beauty of home-lab / self-hosting. You can try so many things without messing up main services.

Thanks for sharing you lab setup! Super relatable and reassuring that I’m not alone postponing all those little tasks. Its great that you aren’t sugar coating anything, because that’s how it is for a lot of us. We need to enjoy what we have, and stay motivated to improve our projects one step at a time.

When you get everything moved over from the old TrueNAS server to the new one, you should setup the old server to be a PBS server to backup your Proxmox VMs and CTs. I have been running that for over a year and have 4x 800GB Intel SSDs in RAID10 and it is plenty storage for me. I also have all of my servers on 10G SFP+ connections on my network to help speed up backups and restores. Also, Replication is your friend with moving stuff over from 1 TrueNAS instance to another!

15m26s I was very concerned about your network closet temp until I noticed it was in F. :D

[PeterBrockie]

Thumbs up for having Bluey on your Jellyfin. haha

[TheQuickSilver]

Thanks for the inside peek at your setup. I don't have anything half that elaborate or interesting 😅. Thanks for sharing!

[doctorwade]

I run Blue Iris here at the lab. I tried several programs before I settled for it. In my opinion it is well worth the cost. It is easy enough to navigate that my wife can use it to view the 4 "light bulb" cams attached to it.

You just gave me so many ideas for homelab services thank you

[rmcdudmk]

Very cool look at the home lab. Thanks for the vid. 👍

I've been struggling with getting TrueNas Scale into Grafana, so these pointers are helpful. It may be too narrow or tight of a focus for you, but I'd love to see a step-by-step of getting TN analytics from start to finish.

The only service I run right now is Mealie. Has helped my family enjoy interesting dishes a little more often.

I want to run paperless-ngx next. Right now it's a higher priority to get a backup system in place.

Been following for a while. Great content. I took some inspiration from you and have built Open Media Vault VM on Ubuntu 24.04 QEMU on a Dell OptiPlex 7050. As I could not find anyone that's shared this configuration, I wanted to share it. It's pretty straight forward until you get to the networking. I learned more about networking over the past couple of days that I ever knew.

[joelfrojmowicz]

Great video. Thanks for sharing.
I tested Frigate, Shinobi, Zoneminder and others. Ended up with Blue Iris. This software is just amazing for a NVR.
Another containers that I run: Remotely, Plex (I prefer Plex over Jellyfin), Plex Media Manager, Tautulli, TDARR, Overseer, Syncthing, NPM (Migrating to Traefik), Authentik, Homer (migrating to Homarr), Czkawka, NextCloud, EmulatorJS (for the kids), Vaultwarden, Loki, ZABBIX, Immich and Photoprism (Haven't decided yet which one to keep), Mealie and Netdata.

And finally, I've been testing TrueNAS scale, UnRAID and OpenMediaVault for almost a year. But after all that time messing around with all 3, I've choosed UnRAID. It's an All-In-One solution that have it all. And it's very easy to use and maintain.

@Jims-Garage is awasome too!!

I came across your videos a few days ago because I'm interested in replacing my single RaspberryPi with a proper Homelab setup. At first I only watched your videos for the information, but now I'm hooked and really enjoy your calm talking voice and video style. I have now subscribed to your Channel and will be binging all your videos over the next few days 😂

Another crafty user! I've been running crafty for several years - love (most of) How it works
