• If you wanna talk home lab, networking, pc builds, or any tech stuff then feel free to come hang out in the Raid Owl Discord server! https://discord.gg/CUzhMSS7qd

• Just bought my first Pi. Obsessed.

• Hello, could i make rasberry pi cluster with many pi and bake 64 bit desktop OS?

• I am new to the game. I have installed docker and portainer and are using pi-hole as of now. How do i use my external harddrive connected to my rpi5 as network storage? So essentially as a NAS. I started using OMV, but people recommended me to use Docker and portainer, as i wanted to used multiple programs on my rpi

• I tend not to subscribe to you-tubers with a super limited vocab; welcome to the club 🙂

• anything you would change abt this setup for current year?

• You lost me at the docker compose part in the edit custom template section. What exactly do you need to do to create the yml file?

• i cant reatch the containers. is this normal for the first time?

• Interesting video, and i realise that this is 2 years old but why/what is the benefit of installing Ubuntu than using the Raspberry pi os?

• Yes indeed…the Pis are ubiquitous but certainly not the best
  choice of hardware for a server. HP/Dell/Lenovo Mini/Micro
  is a much better choice IMO. What say?

• love the quality content part!

• just wondering if this setup will work with Esxi-arm

• 🗓️ That was a unchanging exploit. Nothing different

• I see that this video was published over a year ago, but I found it when looking for information regarding Lycal and Raspberry Pi. Local by Flywheel, and they have an installer for Ubuntu. Is this not an easier option when running WP locally?

• I have been running Plex and Calibre on a Raspberry Pi 4B using that very case for about 3 years now. I'm up to 1100 movies, 60 TV series, and over 800 books. I'm using 6 Seagate 10TB drives (3 primary and 3 for backups) on a powered USB hub with power switches for each port. I discovered that having too many drives connected at once was a problem. 6 seems to be the limit (not counting the M.2 drive). My wife had a stroke 2 years ago and this allows us to watch movies and shows more conveniently. I have also ripped all of my music CD's. I don't share my server outside the house as I believe in making sure artists get royalties for their work. BTW, I keep the backup drives unmounted and the usb ports powered off unless I'm running a backup. I'm also running a NAS using Argon 40's case. I back up the Plex metadata to the NAS using rsync. Just starting to play with a TuringPi2 cluster. Being retired is fun! Thanks for the great video!

• Good afternoon, I bought the Argon M.2 and love it, however, I setup mine the exact same way as you with Ubuntu as the OS and I'm struggling to figure out how to boot from the SSD. All of the instructions I find only pertains to the Raspberry Pi OS. However, I installed Ubuntu, because I want to learn a new OS and it's fun. Can someone help me?

  Thank you,

  GO Navy!

• 19:12 i hit subscribe button after hearing that.

• The set up guide doesn’t exist?

• The setup guide link in the description doesn't work, it just takes you to the Raid Owl homepage 🙁 Could you update the link please? <3

• hey,
  I love your content, Its awesome.
  Buttering aside, 🙂
  I want to connect to my home network from outside, My ISP doesn't allow port forwarding,
  Tried Cloudflare with TCP to make my Proxy server or VPN Server to be accessed from home, That didn;t work
  Can you suggest something please?

• I have almost the same setup but I have a 256GB SSD and it's using POE. It's running uptime-kuma and home bridge.

• Now that you’ve upgraded with your rack in the garage are you still using your pi? I have the same one you have but use an optiplex for Plex and browsing for Plex media and worry about the pi’s browsing performance given the low specs.

• Good video.

• I subscribed because of the top secret 😂

• So you were able to run Ubuntu desktop version on the Raspberry Pi with a bunch of services. The performance looks rock solid. Is that an accurate assessment, or did you edit the video to make the UI zipper than it really was?

• Nice Video. Really want to try making my own server for first time. Just wish I could actually get hold of Pi for a decent price

• Thank you 👋👋👋👍

• I tested a few things on my pi, i was trying to set up a shoutcast server for piont to point audio streaming but there was no arm version of shoutcast, so ended up at icecast, then i got a hp thin client with an x86 cpu and put crunchbang debian on it and ran icecast and pihole from that. It idles at about 5 watts.

• SNice tutorialt, it's the nice tuto

• I never really got this.

  If you're using an M.2, then get a faster CPU too no? This Pi is far too slow.

• My first Plex server was running on a Pi 3 over Wi-Fi ad it worked great.

• Not everyone lives on the internet. Some people don’t know what word press is.

• Raspis are too expensive. For 180 euro you get no proper Harddrive, no power supply and no case. I needed a small server, so i bought a used notebook. Cheaper and better. Also has a monitor, keybord, mouse and battery. On the software side it does not really matter if its Arm or x64. Linux supports it all.

• This video was twice as long as it needed to be. Lost interest halfway through…

• That is a sick af case. Much better the pink one i got.

• Firs

• Your wordpress template is broken

• Forgive my ignorance but what is this thing used for?

• The only problem i had with the Argon case is the fan crapped out and there is no replacement available , even from Argon Forty directly. I had to harvest the original fans micro connection and rewire a similar fan with it.

• Thank you so much great video.

• Awesome content. Thank you!

• what a jerk…
