The Open Source software I'm using in 2023 - Part 1!

Ғылым және технология

This is part 1 of a 2 part series this year. As my use of Open Source grows, it gets harder to fit everything into a reasonable length video. I hope you enjoy it.
I apologize, I tried to put everything in here from the show notes, but I don't get enough characters to do it, so I will simply ask you to click on the show notes below to find more information about any of the projects I talk about.

    I never have used windows at home, it was forced upon me at work. But I needed more power. I was multi-tasking windows programs on OS/2. I found that the windows programs ran far faster under OS/2. It worked so well that I installed at home. Then when Linux showed up, it took me a few months to fully adapt it at home. That was in 2004. I haven't regretted dropping windows, at all. I've been running Kubuntu since 16.04, but have used Red Hat, Suse, PCLinuxOS, Sabayone, and Linux Mint.

I'd add Caprover (basically self-hosted SaaS like heroku), Pterodactyl (game servers through docker), Xbackbone (basic file upload, easy file sharing), Shlink (link shortener) and Gitea or now Forgejo (self-hosted git server). Also, I use Zerotier to access my servers, things like SSH are only accessible from the VPN.

    I just got a mini PC in to start homelab, so the timing on this is good. I'm a Linux focused creator, any tips on content creation? As far as the video, two questions: first at a high level, what is the difference between remotely, mesh central and guacamole? I do remote stuff sometimes to help my parents. Second, what do you use to keep documentation about the various servers? I was considering wiki js or something like obsidian (though the latter is not open source). Looking forward to part 2!

    1st - Awesome that you are doing Linux content. As for content creation, I just say make the content that you would enjoy watching, the viewers will come. My viewers are Awesome! I will say, I've been toying with the idea for Open Ssource of a "Anything you can do, I can do (better)" series for Open Source vs. Closed Source software...but would love to see that for Linux vs. Windows and MacOS...just a thought. 2nd, i have a video comparing MeshCentral, Remotely, RustDesk, and RPort (not got Guacamole in there yet, but will), so maybe it will help. I would compare Guacamole to Remmina more than the others really, but closer to an RMM than remote support. Here's that link kzread.info/dash/bejne/do5kscWwl8SaY9o.html 3rd. For my Show Notes - I'm usingBookstack. Love it's hierarchy, and the search is really good. Some people don't like the look of it, but I direct link from the video to the specific article. It has some great power features too, so that really makes it great for me. I'm slowly migrating from Ghost. Check out the bookstack channel for the features www.youtube.com/@BookStackApp I'm excited for Part 2 as well, and you have a new subscriber!

    Remotely- advantage is graphics acceleration and webrtc communication.... it really lowers server load. Mesh central- advantage is community and broad os support. Guacamole- advantage is it supports lots of protocols and can act as a gateway and pretty easily can have management integrated into ldap and AD.... can be a pain to setup when new to it.... it is also probably most feature rich for what it does.

    Distro choice is something that each person has to figure out for themselves in my opinion. I personally tend to stick with Ubuntu based distros for the most part because of the software compatibility. That's getting less necessary with Flatpak and AppImage, but today, IMO, it's still an easier road for me. This video, I beleive was on Kubuntu 22.04.
