Hi Tim. Found your channel about a month ago and your videos are very informative and helpful. I am a Software Engineer working remote and I am in the very early days of a homelab. In fact I just deployed my first raspberry pi server running open media vault and dockerized pi hole this weekend. I have an old laptop I’m going to use as a docker server for some other services as well. Keep making the great vids!

Techno Tim Nextcloud including SSL maybe? Or a Steamcache/lancache setup? I use lancache for example to offload unneeded network traffic for my wife and I (both gamers) if one of us buys a new game on steam for example. Normally that game would be downloaded twice, meaning twice the data transfer. By caching the game install, I can download the same game when I come back home from work with full network speed instead of having to download it again from the steam servers. Same goes for windows updates and some other services like that

I'm using home assistant dashboard with all my services listed there. You could add any integrations + add automations (notifications if service is down or works not as you expected).

You saved me )))

Thanks for making me aware of this. It's ging straight into my docker-compose now. Just one question. What wat that browser software you were using to scale the webUI please?

Tim, just recently found and subscribed. I'm having a lot of fun getting some of these home labs running in containers. I like Heimdall but its slow - it takes a couple seconds when popping a new tab to display it. Any way to speed it up or have cached copies (near real time)?

Can I group the apps in the dashboard? Or separate the with some horizontal lines? Having just 50 different apps there might be hard to search through them.

I was able to get this up and running. My first official Docker container under Rancher. Don't have a whole lot to add to it other than Proxmox and Rancher pages at the moment but I could set up some Dell iDrac links like you have although i've just been using an actual KVM for the servers. I have found I don't like the old Java ran console from iDrac. But.... It does make life easier than either making long KVM runs or having console hardware in your rack. As an aside I also set this VM up as an auto-startup with Proxmox. first time for doing that. So... It's the first time i've had a totally hands off setup that can go from powered off to up without having to log into or launch anything. Learned some stuff about Linux in the process as well.

@@TechnoTim I saw those. I ended up adding Sonarr and SABnzbd links to web interfaces (which I had to enable) on a Windows 10 VM i'm running. That's part of my old setup that has served me very well. But now armed with how to set up docker containers thanks to your Rancher video I set up a SABnzbd docker container. I set up a TrueNAS VM and made a quick and dirty test share, set it up to auto-mount on the Xubuntu VM which i'm running Rancher on, and have my SABnzbd docker implimentation downloading a test file as I type this. I've learned more in the past week than the the past 2.5 years of on-the job stuff. And what's more is it's something i'm actually interested in, lol. Man I miss being desktop and server ops. I need to get back to doing that.

Hey Tim, don't know how I'm just now discovering your channel! Love the videos, content and format!!! I do have a question that may be on the mind of others. I've been containerizing my services using docker on both bare metal and VMs for a couple of years. I don't have a place I can run my Dell R410s or R710s :( as my garage is too hot in the summer and they are too loud to run in my office. So I've started to migrate to smaller form factors like Lenovo ThinkCentre's, etc. And with that interested in mini clusters. On a small scale I've wanted to create redundancy with swarm, etc., but haven't gotten there yet. So my question is, you recommend Kubernetes over vanilla docker but always with one instance. So I'm curious as to the advantage of this kind of deployment. I'm very interested in the Rancher/Docker/Kubernetes setup you describe and explain. Perhaps you could show us a redundancy kind of set up. Say a backup or redundant PiHole as a simple example. Or perhaps just setting up a load balancer is the way to go. In the end, looking for taking advantage of the deployment of a failover/redundancy kind of application of the tech. Thanks Tim!

Thanks for the guide. Rancher shows heimdall running but when I go to the address I access Rancher on and port 8500 I get nothing, just "This site can't be reached, refused to connect". I've also clicked through Rancher/Deployments heimdall on the 8500/TCP link and it takes me to a different IP 172.x.x.x:8500 I get the same thing "This site can't be reached, refused to connect". I've tried deleting, setting it up again using different ports. I'm not sure if I setup Rancher incorrectly? Not sure why I'm getting 172.x.x.x addresses. I can ping the 172 address from SSH but can't ping it from my other home PCs and I'm not sure how to resolve that. Any ideas?

Not sure but sounds awesome. It is open source so you can suggest the feature (or write it) there 😀

I tried Heimdall but found the auto updating tiles a bit buggy and they use ajax polling. This leads to excessive login events to things like my OpenMediaVault and portainer. Potainer blocked the IP and OpenMediaVault started excessive emailing when it hit the authentication URL which I luckily caught early. Removing the auto updating tiles are re-adding them seems to be the only way to fix them. Some of the tiles are also buggy if you just want to remove the auto updating part from them so you really have to remove and re-add them. The issue? Heimdall MUST really switch away from using AJAX, I know it's written in PHP and Laravel so websockets are probably a bit harder to pull off, but slamming the server with AJAX requests is not going to cut it, it really needs a single websocket connection for "smart updates". I'm still using it, just with static tiles only. The dynamic updating tiles are "too flakey".

I did raise a ticket and the authors got back to me, seems they are aware of this issue, it's a bit of a design flaw and they are re-thinking their approach.
