Jim - not going to lie. This looks super complicated, and I sometimes watch your videos because of your calming voice.

SQLite is actually quite fast even with heavy usage , the problem is that you usually want to run your DB and your App separately and that's a non-starter for sqlite. So if you are fine with running your app and db on the same system , sqlite is a good choice in my opinion.

Hi Jim. Thank you for your channel. It was one of the things why I decided to start my home server journey. It’s absolutely fantastic to have comprehensive information how to setup things. My setup is going great and growing every day. One thing I’m struggling now is how to structure my network regarding I’m being CGNAT. Your videos about NetBird and Headscale helped a lot. Could you consider to make a video for newbies with general overview how to structure setup for those pure things stucked without port forwarding. E.g. you have your docker containers, their networks, network of Proxmox VM, your Opnsense/Pfsense and VPS for self hosting NetBird/Headscale and maybe few more things in docker. How to configure flow of data, do you need to have reverse proxy at home and/or at VPS in this setup, do you need DMZ and so on. Just traffic flow and general structure, considering that all vms and basic networks already set up. It sounds like a lot but such video would be a lifesaver for those who just starting out and don’t understand why one needs certain things.

Currently I use headscale on all my devices, I did it based on your old video, thanks for update

Are you comfortable using a deployment with alpha versions and spotty web UI? Provided you are going abroad and would want to have the most stability possible as in case it goes down your out of luck :/ Are you planning a redundant access like wire guard or the cloud Tailscale just in case? I really prefer selfhosted but I don’t know how polish this is.

Another great tutorial. I had better performance with wireguard in my testing but good to have options.

Thank you for this compréhensive tutorial. I love your curated videos! Could you also make a video about nebula overlay network. This would be great! There are only very few tutorials to be found about it.

Excellent demo Jim. I'm planning try all of the self hosted SDN options before I commit. Bit concerning that it's been 12 months since the last production release, i wonder if Netbird is more active.

Hi Jim, greetings from Brazil! I've been loving your content and rebuilding my homelab following your videos! I'm eagerly waiting for the video about Netbird, as I found the service very interesting. Keep up the good work!

❤

Hey Jim, great video. Any chance for self hosted netbird demo?

Perfect timing.....almost. I'm in the middle of doing what you're planning. I have a Synology NAS that I've been backing up to iDrive E2 block storage. I've maxed out the tier I'm on....and tired of paying $300US/yr. I bought a 16TB external USB drive and connected a Raspberry Pi4 to it and using is as an ssh remote target for Synology HyperBackups. I have a little vacation trailer on a lake and finally got a decent internet connection there so I'm going to use this as my offsite backups. Been looking for a solution better then a simple OpenVPN link. I like that this solution would give me access into the network there as well. I await your followup video on how you get that working...hope it's not too far in the future :)

I thought you would do a net bird one

At 22:17, it shows the IP address and MAC address of your phone. The IP and MAC are identical on my screen for my phone. I assume this is a bug...?

Hi Jim. Love all your videos. Just wondering if you could please make a tutorial for installing OpenProject (as a Docker container) using Traefik as the load balancer? The official documentation only provides instructions for Nginx or Apache, and I'd rather use Traefik as I have no other need for those two and have plenty of other needs for Traefik, so would rather just use that if it's possible. Thanks for considering.

as always, high quality content and I was able to spin up headscale and register android and windows devices. I have one question though, what would be an advantage of running self-hosted headscale instead of using official one? I know free tier limits users and devices, but I wonder if there's any other good reason to run the headscale in my home server? again, thank you for the video!

Great video! How would you compare Twingate vs Headscale/Tailscale?

I noticed, you are creating a user per device. Is that recommended way? Would there be some disadvantage to have one user per multiple devices?

thanks for the video, very detailed. There is a way to share some ip ranges of your internal network from headscale without installing tailscale or adding routes?

hello! thanks for your explanatory videos. i am unfortunately unable to access my internal services which are behind reverse proxy (traefik) through the headscale network, using the https address . (this address works locally, e.g without the tailscale network), if i use the ip address it works without any problems. any solution?

How to do this on a NAS lets say Synology? Cant use ports like 80 there etc. And what if we dont use proxy as network? EDIT: Tried lots of things. But it wont work for me.

Not recommended to newbie there head and tail will spin all day try it on simple but really easy to understand and you can tell the video is heavily edited most people like to see you do it on screen so they can follow your video.

Hi Jim, is there a backup of your plex video that got taken down? Maybe on peertube or Odysee?

pls add info about defguard

Does headscale-admin work better if you uncheck "legacy api (headscale < 0.23)"? Because you're running the 0.23 alpha. I'd imagine the checkbox is for people who don't want to run the alpha.

I'm curious about why the ugreen is on permanent vacation. A little hint?

8:26 "because it was created elsewhere, when I setup traefik" huh? what am I supposed to do?
