Can you plz show how to setup NordVPN in a container? I can’t find a video on this and no vpn matches there speeds sadly or how to use it with wire guard.
Nord are security specialist don't make me laugh, they got hacked and all there clients passwords where in plain English. Nord is one of the worst VPN's most of which are owned by one company, do some research on your sponsors before you accepted them plz or just grab the cash and lie to your subscribers.

I rarely comment on videos, but I had to say thank you for going through each step (including searching google etc.) to help me understand the thought process as well as the steps you were going through to get to where you are. The pacing and editing of this video is perfect for me. Can't wait for the next parts in the series. Thank you for all the work you put into this video.
👍
Thanks!! Glad to hear that’s helpful!
Showing mistakes actually helps, those are common traps people fall into when following a guide and this gives them a heads up to pay extra attention to certain areas.
@@watvannou Agree! We learn from mistakes, and hopefully those are the mistakes of others ;-)
Great video! I have been checking different videos to do this and yours provides lots of details!
Couldn't have said it better myself. Great great Video.
I started with Prox, then switched to TrueNAS Scale, now back to Prox and looking to put TrueNAS on a VM on prox which is what brought me here. A couple tips I recommend though are running Turnkey Linux as an LXC to spin up your docker instance. Much faster to start/restart and simple once you do a couple. I'm running 4 or 5 instances for home services, gaming, testing, random. Another tip is for Portainer. Instead of adding each variable line by line using the cli commands, copy/paste the docker-compose info in to a new Stack (Portainers version of docker-compose). Then just edit the variables you'd like. I always thought stacks were groupings of containers but it can be done for single container as well. I find it makes it MUCH easier to edit and redeploy a service as well. Thanks for the video though, the TrueNAS part was exactly what I was looking for.
How come you switched back to proxmox after moving? I was just considering jumping to TrueNAS Scale ;)
This is my favorite computer-oriented channel. I love the simplicity of your videos, the relaxing atmosphere and the straight-forward explanations. Top quality stuff right here, keep striving to improve and reach your goals. 60k in 2 weeks if you keep this up!
Great video! I love how you do not shy away from showing your mistakes and that you show your thought process and research steps for fixing problems. It definitely makes the video more relatable and better for newer users. Cant wait for Part 2!
Thanks! Means a bunch
Exactly! Every other video is like "you just click this and you're done!" For me I click and get an error 😂😂😂
Thanks! This saved me a lot of effort. Please continue to make these long-form instructional videos!
WOAH Thanks! Will do 👍
I absolutely love these types of videos. The walk through is perfect. Mess-ups or mistakes are just learning opportunities for ALL. Great work.
Excellent work dude, really enjoyed the whole hour, and really learned that quicker and more practical way to set up wireguard using docker, I did set up wireguard before but in a VM and did all the installation manually, but with portainer and docker seems to be really cool and much easier once you understand what you are doing of course. look forward to 2023 and more videos. All the very best in 2023!
Really great video, with so many useful info in it. One little tip for you to deploy wireguard easier. Copy from the site the docker-compose command block of text and then in portainer under STACKS tab, click add stack, give a name for the stack, paste the text you copied and press deploy stack. No need to translate all the commands into gui
Definitely looked more into stacks after seeing this, and I can’t believe I missed it haha. Just used it for a personal project. Thanks!
docker compose ftw
Your the 1st one to help under stand Wireguard as a hobbyist, and your tutorial are awesome
Hey I just want to say this video was a huge help. I've been migrating my old proxmox host to a new one, and you had a lot of good poinrters that got me up and running.
Thanks CZcams, how did I miss this wonderful walkthru!?
I had been planning to go down a very similar route with a minor twist. I was running TrueNAS Scale on bare metal and decided it was a waste of the resources on that machine. I took backups and snapshots and made darn sure I could see all the data from the ZFS Pool and plunged in. TrueNAS got installed just as you described in your video, then I IMPORTED the existing ZFS pool and behold, existing data was all there. Then I restored a saved TrueNAS config and now shares, users and settings were all back. The only difference is now TureNAS is virtualized and I can do other things with the resources on this machine. This eases a common fear with everything in the home lab: "How easy will it be to recover from a catastrophic failure?"
Thank you for walking through this so thoroughly!
i used to have bare metal truenas too but it was too much for one machine it was slugish so in the end i end up splitting into 2 server a proxmox server and a truenas server. the truenas run data intensive things like nextcloud, jellyjin and backing up stuff from proxmox and most cloud service end up on proxmox instead (Minecraft pi hole discord bot linkstack vikunja linkstack teleport etc.) if I don't run this much stuff I would probably go with a very similar route too
Hey colten!
Its about a year and a month later from when the video's where uploaded.
If you could remake the video's what changes would you make in the vm's (like other operating systems and containers) and maybe hardware?
Would like to hear the awnser!
This video is amazing. I work on a complete different field but I always liked to mess with PCs and this is a great simple and explanatory video to configure basic stuff on our home servers and get us up and running. Thanks!!
Glad you liked it 👍🏻
this is AN AMAZING video, looking forward to see the chapter 2, and I LOVE all the mistakes! Especially that you have solved them online
i will be returning back to this video to do some of the things uve got here, like adding portainer and wireguard, and for when I build my new homelab, love your vids
great video series! as others have mentioned I like that you keep the human element in them of making mistakes and learning as you go, I have rarely made any kind of hardware or software install and things went exactly like directions or tutorials, I think its encouraging to see this for folks just starting out especially.
I'm just looking into proxmox for the first time and i intentionally looked for this kind of video from your channel because I think your style is ideal for a first real look at stuff that is on the face of it a bit intimidating to the entirely uninitiated
Good stuff. I did this a couple of years ago and it turned out great. I was impressed with the quality of Dell business PC's and really love ICY Dock. One bonus was it came with Intel vPro onboard, which has the functionality of a light's out/IPMI board, so you can have remote KVM.
Of all the other tech channels, this has helped sway me to upgrade to this route. Appreciate it bud.
Incredible work! I now have a much better grasp of what Proxmox is how ideally I'd like to setup my homelab. Thanks a ton!
Ths is the first video I found about Proxmox which doesn't ignore hardware. Good video! Thanks!
Okay! You've inspired me. I have an older server with an AsRock e3c224 motherboard that's been gathering dust.
I think I'll get it out and mess around with some of this stuff too. Thanks for your content!
Incredible. Thanks for putting time and efforts into this tutorial
This whole video is like a beautiful mind-map. Thank you for making it!
That sounds much better than “a rambling mess” haha. Thanks!
Absolutely perfect step by step guide, you sir deserve a like and a subscription
Well done. If your only a hobbyist I’d say you think to little of your skills. I’ve have hired IT professionals that are far less competent than what you displayed here. Being able to research and find the solution is the single most valuable skill in IT and proxmox is a relatively advanced hypervisor so, seriously well done. Glad to see folks putting things like this out so others are less intimidated by technology. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for making these videos super simple to follow along and I don't really lose focus while watching them plus neat voice ig?
Very cool setup. I appreciate the clarity.
Awesome stuff in two of your videos I learned a lot about tools I was missing: Proxmox, Portainer, Solar Putty (I use Windows Terminal for now) and more. I think I'll install Portainer for now over my Supermicro with Debian 12. Thanks!
this was the best, most productive series I've watched in a while.....
Thanks you for that video, finally I see a way to have a good coexistence of Proxmox and TrueNAS. Before I tried to use one or the other...
Very helpful! Looking forward to using the my NAS share as storage for my docker volumes
Excellent work. I might actually use this video as a template guide for my own homelab server, since the ubuntu raid1 disks have been having some GRUB issues. I like the idea of running Proxmox as a base, with TrueNAS and Portainer running under it instead.
I was just looking at this exact model of computer on Ebay and thinking of turning it into a home server... you read my mind! After this video, I think I'll go for it.
Hahaha who knew I was telepathic
Waiting for part 2. 🎉 thank you for your beautiful video !
It's already live!
czcams.com/video/BoMlfk397h0/video.html
Seriously, thank you so much for making videos like this.
Wow, thanks! Glad I could help
great video, and love the fact that you're really going in step by step.
Thanks!
I think this is what I need ☺️ thanks for sharing. Now I have the idea how to setup my data server
I recently got another PC that I wanted to use for something like this so this is the perfect tutorial!
Oh nice! What did you get?
@@HardwareHaven a small form factor HP prodesk because I live with someone who doesn't appreciate big PCs everywhere 😂
It has a 8th gen i5 I believe so hopefully it'll be able to keep up
Oh nice, yeah that should be great
Awesome video, i messed up some steps, like mounting truenas share on debian, or installing portainer business instead of consumer, but i always managed to come back on track! Thank you!
Great video! been doing this at night after work hours, please make more of these videos!
I think around the 23:40 mark you can see that I set the IP address of the TrueNAS machine to that IP. So I’m mounting the network share from the IP to a specific folder in Debian
amazing, thanks for sharing so many great tools, I don't knew the portainer and ventoy.
Only watched 2 minutes 28 seconds so far, but I must commend you on the audio on your video. You actually understand the concept of "background" music and have the level set so that it does NOT interfere with the narration audio, a novel concept which greatly benefits those of us with hearing challenges like, (in no particular order), tinnitus, hearing loss of varying degree in one or both ears, localized background noise at our location, (fans, a/c, traffic, etc.), and put your distraction here. Outstandingly done, never mind that the content is useful also! I must like and subscribe even before I get to the tutorial itself, that is how impressed I am already! Well Done!!!
thanks as it put out the flames in my "ordeal by fire" as Im very new to server hardware having just bought some neat early IBM blades :-) (71 years of CPU blood sweat and toil)
G8 efforts taken by you to present easy n simple understanding
this is exactly what I need. thanks for making this video. subscribed.
i have been looking for a video like these for a long time ,tnx.
It's simple and it works. Nothing to add or to criticize about this
Just 2 minutes into the video and scrolled down to comment section and they were quality so i subbed straight away haha
This video is so great that I had to watch it twice.
Good colten as usual, let's take a look at the next part!
This is so cool ! I just got into servers and i had this old pc i bought for less than $ 100 USD. Great pc ! I7 4790k, 16gb ram, 2tb hdd, with an amd rx 460. Great pc for a server. I've never heard of proxmox before now. Lol. I will give this a try ! I also bought 16gb more of ram and, replaced the psu with a very trusted gold 600 watt psu.
I hopw thos works oit great ! 👍 . Thanks for the tutorial. Ill be real busy this weekend 😂.
Appreciates your works man 🎉! Useful contents and save my life.
I recently built my own nas with a 8 bay hotswap case by SIlverStone. I decided 4x4tb drives was a good start in RAID Z1, and holy shit I was wrong on how much storage I needed. I need much more as I only have 3.2TB remaining of the 12TB usable
God !!!!!
This is a really valuable CZcams content.
Pure knowledge and method.
Best regards !
I love freaking love stuff like this, subbed
Thanks I will be using this to setup most of my new to me dell t330 server.
i got it all running on my i3-7100 with 16gig ram, 1 tb nvme, 480gb ssd sata, 500gb hdd.
too bad my isp close any access on port forwarding so i go with tailscale instead..
thanks mate, the tutorial was easy and simple..
keep up the good work sir
nice, just setup my own little nuc cluster with proxmox! good timing
Oh Boy! Do I love my Synology NAS which does all of this in a blink of an eye!
YAY, i just got the 2.5 GB pcie card installed. and the NAS IS SOOO FAST.. thank you so much for making this video
Nice! Hope it continues to work well for tou
@@HardwareHaven seriously this is the best tutorial i have watched (and re-watched) in years. I was able to easily follow and make my own tweaks along the way. Kudos my friend.
"which ever one makes you more upset"..😆 That bit of gold was worth a comment and sub on it's own!
That drive bay dock is very cool. Might have to look at that.
They're a bit pricey, but very cool!
@@HardwareHaven I really enjoy your videos. I recently purchased/installed the "Express Cage" version from Icy Dock. I was like a little kid on Xmas morning! All I think about now is how can I get another one and a PCIe sata card for more 2.5" storage without getting the wife upset.
Thanks for the demo and info, have a great day
Thanks, you too!
That was really cool thanks. Hopefully in the very near future I can attempt step one over the course of month. Lol. Awesome video walking through it all as you went, especially with the woopsies. Sudo or not sudo! That is the question?
Thanks for this video. I have a Dell server that I wanted to repurpose for true nas and other stuff and this video will be helpful in converting it to nas plus stuff
Nice video. I like that you didn't just edit out the mistakes that you made, unlike some youtubers.
What you see is what you get around here haha
Hey! I'm they guy that always hosts game servers for the bois. Started back then with old laptops and kind of grew on it (god bless second hand office sales) and now I'm a official tech hoarder. Lately bought my self a Lenovo TS440 5U oven box with 8x 2.5 SAS/SATA bay, e3 1226 v3, and raid card (intel RS2BL080) almost for free and I took it as an opportunity to build solid NAS, all fans are shot and sound like boing 737. Ordered 32gig ecc, e3 1281 v3, and I'm thinking to get true nas/UEFI competable HBA card since getting RAID card working in HBA is hard mode quest of ancient dwarven technologies.
Man I really love your content and you inspire me to grow!
i may do something like this in the near future because this stuff really interests my inner geek : D
I learned a few things, thanks! 🙂
Hey @HardwareHaven! love the great guides! Just from my experience a hint for the future: at 8:30 if you select IGD and enable "Multi-Monitor Support" you should be able to have both integrated (intel) Graphics AND the nvidia GPU for your VM. Not a pro with VM but spent a fair share of time in ASUS' Bios with the same options to use secondary screens plugged into the Mainboard, since chinese DP to EDP adapters don't support Nvidia GPU output😋
Excellent video thank you. It answered some questions I had.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Hardware Haven ! I just wanted to say I appreciate how well done your videos are!!! So informative, easy to understand and with perfect flow :)
P.S Please never change the intro/background music, I love how relaxing it is, goes nice with a coffee in the morning :)
I don’t plan on it! And thanks
exactly what I've been hoping to do with my setup - would like to have win10 gaming performance but utilise the extra storage and capability to run services such as nextcloud. looking forward to rest of the series
It was wild when I realized you could plug in an HDMI or displayport to the passed through GPU then pass through kb+m and sit at your server and game right on it.
Obrigado!!! Até aqui somente bons aprendizados, um norte a seguir.
Liked and subscribed, one of the best video on the net, ever!
Something that may be a good topic for you is replacing Portainer with Dockge. In my opinion Dockge is safer as it actually saves containers in a way that you can easily backup and move between systems. Its methodology for managing containers is actually how I've been doing my management before Portainer was a thing.
PCI functions give a card with multiple functions a unique ID in the PCI tree. For example, a quad-port NIC would have 4 functions to allow access to individual ports (if card is wired that way). Another example is a (modern) video card has two functions, the video and audio.
This was roughly my understanding, so I think I was confused why a single NIC would need "all functions". Thanks!
You may wanna edit the docker daemon config so that the portainer volume is on the truenas share. Nice video, it's great to see all the steps for once :)
haha! Either Sudo pronunciation did not make me upset. You're funny! Looking forward to building my NAS. Thanks!
Nice step by step video. Thank you for your work. You have one more suscriptor, for sure 😛
Looking forward to the win10 remote gaming and plex transcoding (was this on your plans?) parts. By for now
Learned a lot, thanks!
very clear and useful! Subscribed
Nice!
I have my own nordpass it's called notepad and proper backups. I change important passwords every month and unimportant stuff every 6 months. 3,2,1 backup.
You really need some extra cooling for your LSI HBA - it's designed to run in a server case with high volume front-to-back air flow. In a desktop case, the SAS controller with it's tiny heat sink can overheat and disconnect while moving lots of data. One common hack is to attach a low-profile 40mm fan to the heat sink with long nylon bolts.
Yeah, you’re probably right. That could be a fun little project later on
Great video, just includes everything i need.
Nice!
Great video, i have proxmox machine too.
But now i can do more because your video.
Thank you 😍😍
PS:
His Super Secure Password is "SSPass"
Just found your channel. Excellent Content, another sub for you sir!
thank you. excellent tutorial.
Okay. There are thousands of options for setting up a home server, this is one of them. Not bad at all.
I’ll just write that I also have a small home server that runs debian and several services (some in containers, some not). Perhaps someone will need such a list.
Nextcloud - cloud storage, I use it mainly for synchronizing files between multiple computers, as well as for sending large files
qBittorrent - for downloading and seeding my legally obtained linux ISOs
MotionEye - recording video from surveillance cameras
Jellyfin - media server (in my case it works without real-time transcoding)
UrBackup - for automated backups of data from my computer and family members' computers
Pi-hole - First of all, in order to have a local DNS record. Blocking unwanted sites does not interest me much.
Homer dashboard - just to access the above through a nicer web-interface
RustDest (ID/Relay server) - remote desktop access (FOSS analog of teamviewer)
And also samba, ftp (vsftpd), ssh, duckdns ip update script, scheduled backups of some videos and some other things i don't remember.
Interesting recommendations, will definitely check out RustDesk personally, but what's your long term plan with MotionEye? Looking it up seems it's the main developer is has stepped down and there hasn't been any maintenance over the last 2 years. Are going to continue using it for as long as it continues working or do you have any replacements in mind?
@@h.b.5577 I noticed that motioneye is not developing. But I am now in such circumstances that it is simply pointless to plan anything for a couple of years ahead. So I don't have a plan, I'll deal with problems as they come.
a macOS KVM would be a treat to see, as long as you have a Kepler based nvidia GPU lying around.
A great video as always!
Thanks for the recommendation!
Subscribed. Awesome video. Just setup a ProxMox server with pfSense(PCIe pass-through of my Quad port Intel NIC to pfsense), AdGuard Home and Unifi controller. I have another ProxMox home lab server with an Intel i5-3570k. I'll play with truenas and docker on my homelab. Love from India.
Sounds awesome! And thanks!
I appreciate the HEY LOOK WHAT I DID VIDEOS, I usually find where Phil went wrong lol.
I've been trying to make a TrueNas Scale Server at home on a Sweet Gigabyte MB w/ an AMD 2200G & 16Gig RAM.
I can get everything to install like a Dream, but I can NEVER get the VM's to show me a Display right there on the system, noVNC I believe it uses by Default...
I was at the same DeadEnd with ProxMox, then I found TrueNas Scale: I think it looks amazing and decided to try that instead: And same Results... lol
I cant get a VM to show me a Display to save my life, so Hurrah to You! LOL
Thanks a lot for the video! I recently picked up an HP ProDesk 600 G1 with the i5 4570 and 8GB of RAM. I wanted to turn it in a server like a NAS and a minecraft server. Hope its gonna work for me, thanks again!!
lmao i got the sff of that pc, paired with a ssd it makes a very fast server
@@niggainc.9784 Oh yes! I don't have this one but damn it must be a good one for a cheap and silent server!
Very cool!
Quite nice, I was really looking for something like this. Quick question: would promox be needed if you only had portainer and truenas? If everything was Linux-based (Linux kernel would be a common denominator) I suppose there could be a way to run everything in a more optimized way for slightly worse hardware. On the other end, I have the impression promox is quite common for reasons. Could you also have your pihole here without too many issues? Would pihole be installed in portainer or on promox?
beatiful, it has an evga 550
hey Hardware Haven i want to said thank you for this viedo did help me alot how to run trueNAS you are the best i did subscribed to your you tube channel god bless you
Dude very good video. Thank you.
Only thing I can recommend to ease you is just pick how you like to pronounce the different Linux names (cifs, gnome, etc.). Kinda like how British say "zed-fs", you just learn the different pronunciations to all mean the same thing.
