[2164.64 --> 2168.76] And I think those three things together make a perfect mix for newcomers. |
[2168.76 --> 2179.26] A lot of people that are running Unraid do so because they are new to serving stuff at home, you know, media servers, what have you. |
[2179.26 --> 2184.42] By this point, Unraid's been around for, I want to say, like 15 years. |
[2184.42 --> 2202.76] So not only do you have that mix of noobs, for want of a better word, but you've also got that mix of really experienced, passionate users that want other people to be as excited about their special little thing that they found 10 years ago and has been working perfectly for them ever since, you ... |
[2202.76 --> 2207.42] And there's very few products on the market that do what Unraid does. |
[2207.92 --> 2214.84] One of the things that makes it so great is the fact that you can stick any kind of hard drive in there, you know, like a JBOD style. |
[2214.84 --> 2219.84] There's no real kind of constraints around, like there is with ZFS, for example. |
[2220.50 --> 2226.62] You've got to do a matched pair for a VDEV, and if you exceed the VDEV, you lose data and yada, yada, yada. |
[2227.40 --> 2228.34] Unraid's really simple. |
[2228.80 --> 2233.90] If you have a parity disk, it has to be the biggest disk in the array or as big as. |
[2234.58 --> 2238.06] If that fails, you've lost your fault tolerance. |
[2238.58 --> 2242.34] And if any further drive fails, you lose the data on that drive. |
[2242.34 --> 2247.46] And that's really simple to understand, and I think just that simple thing hooks a lot of people into Unraid. |
[2248.10 --> 2250.08] But then you start looking at things like the community. |
[2250.26 --> 2253.02] There's lots of videos from a chap called Space Invader 1 on YouTube. |
[2253.58 --> 2259.30] He does really great, simple-to-follow tutorials where, you know, you click here, you do this, you do that, and off you go. |
[2259.78 --> 2264.48] As you grow, you might find the guardrails that Unraid has are a little bit restrictive. |
[2265.16 --> 2268.14] But as a new user, that's a good thing, in my opinion. |
[2268.14 --> 2274.32] I don't know if I've heard of anybody running Unraid on a Mac Mini, especially not an M1 Mac Mini. |
[2274.92 --> 2277.98] I also don't know if Portainer works on Mac OS. |
[2278.14 --> 2281.28] You'd probably end up using Docker Desktop on Mac OS. |
[2281.82 --> 2286.16] He talks about wanting a GUI, and Unraid's definitely an option. |
[2286.52 --> 2287.86] Maybe FreeNAS Scale's an option. |
[2287.86 --> 2294.00] If you want to manage some disks, if you're just going to have, like, one disk, and you just want to run some applications, |
[2294.86 --> 2299.12] you know, Alex, I almost wonder if it's worth considering the whole Home Assistant stack. |
[2299.96 --> 2304.74] You know, because if ultimately he wants Home Assistant anyways, when you install Managed Home Assistant, |
[2305.02 --> 2308.88] you get an app store, essentially, that lets you install things like Plex. |
[2309.36 --> 2311.16] And it just does it all through Docker containers. |
[2311.16 --> 2317.30] The only trick is you have to install it, I mean, generally, like, they release a Raspberry Pi image or something like that. |
[2317.76 --> 2325.72] But it does offer a way to run a lot of these popular, open-source, self-hostable applications with just a few clicks. |
[2326.26 --> 2331.90] Because Home Assistant itself manages, has a supervisor part that can manage all these containers. |
[2331.90 --> 2336.90] Otherwise, yeah, probably something like Unraid or FreeNAS. |
[2337.20 --> 2344.84] Or there's also just the option of doing something like CentOS or Ubuntu and using something like Cockpit on top of that. |
[2345.02 --> 2349.70] I know that's getting a little more advanced, but he did say he was comfortable using terminal commands. |
[2350.12 --> 2351.24] And so that's another choice. |
[2351.64 --> 2353.82] But let us know how the journey goes, John. |
[2354.40 --> 2358.04] I'll do a final shameless plug for perfectmediaserver.com. |
[2358.04 --> 2362.40] If you want to just do things from the command line, I think that's probably the way to go. |
[2363.26 --> 2371.26] Well, behind the scenes, we are making secret, not-so-secret plans for a JB East Coast meetup. |
[2372.14 --> 2377.74] And, of course, in the planning phase, what's come up is like, how the hell are we going to pay for this? |
[2377.94 --> 2380.72] And it got us talking, and I don't think we're going to do it for this. |
[2380.84 --> 2386.80] But down the road, there may be a project or something like a special edition of a show or maybe some special trip. |
[2386.80 --> 2389.52] But how would we, if we wanted to, do crowdfunding? |
[2389.60 --> 2392.76] And we thought, well, we'd like it to be open source and self-hostable. |
[2393.30 --> 2399.82] I went out there and did a little looking around, and it looks like a lot of those projects have died or become abandoned over the years. |
[2399.96 --> 2407.56] So if you know of a self-hosted crowdfunding application that's alive and well, maybe you're using it, let us know about it. |
[2408.02 --> 2409.48] Selfhosted.show.contact. |
[2409.54 --> 2413.90] Because if it was ever something JB did want to get into, we'd like it to kind of align with our values. |
[2413.90 --> 2417.66] I can't believe it's taken us until this point in the show to actually even mention this. |
[2418.02 --> 2418.94] But I know. |
[2419.42 --> 2424.54] April the 9th in Raleigh, we're going to have an East Coast JB meetup. |
[2424.78 --> 2431.64] And rumor has it that a certain RV dwelling podcaster might be joining us. |
[2431.88 --> 2432.26] It's true. |
[2432.30 --> 2433.58] Although I'm going to fly in. |
[2433.58 --> 2445.48] I think, I'm hoping, it'll be a life goal if it's like one part mini vacation with the fam, because it'll be my son's 13th birthday and spring break. |
[2445.48 --> 2448.64] And he is a Bitcoin nut. |
[2448.90 --> 2458.48] So we're hoping we could fly into Miami, go to the Bitcoin conference for a couple of days, and then fly up and hang out with you and the family and then go to a meetup. |
[2458.58 --> 2460.18] Like, it's all in the planning phase. |
[2460.80 --> 2467.82] But Alex, we have needed to do an East Coast JB meetup for about 15 years. |
[2467.96 --> 2469.88] I mean, it's embarrassingly bad. |
[2469.88 --> 2475.92] And, you know, you and the community just were like, screw it, we're just going to get something started. |
[2476.22 --> 2483.66] And I was talking behind the scenes thinking, you know, I'm feeling like I really need, I need to, like, take a little bit of a trip. |
[2483.76 --> 2484.80] I am really feeling burned out. |
[2484.86 --> 2485.84] Like, I need to do something. |
[2486.38 --> 2490.60] And this Bitcoin conference came up, and this meetup came up, and it's like, this is almost too perfect. |
[2491.06 --> 2492.72] So behind the scenes, we're trying to figure it out. |
[2493.36 --> 2499.20] Well, of course, normally, you're busy planning for LinuxFest Northwest, but for obvious reasons, that's still on hiatus. |
[2499.38 --> 2499.78] Right. |
[2499.88 --> 2505.96] And that was actually how the conversation started, because that's usually, like, a nice little way for us to connect with the community once a year. |
[2506.26 --> 2508.52] And we're going on two years now of not having it. |
[2508.60 --> 2509.56] It's like our big event. |
[2509.96 --> 2512.32] And you found a great spot, too. |
[2512.42 --> 2517.66] So it's like, God, it just all seems like it's coming together, like a nice spot and great weather on the East Coast. |
[2518.04 --> 2521.56] Right on Dylan's birthday spring break, I'm like, oh, let's do it. |
[2521.82 --> 2522.92] So we're figuring it out. |
[2523.46 --> 2525.30] Let me paint a picture for the audience, right? |
[2525.30 --> 2532.40] So Prime Barbecue is a Texas-style barbecue joint that's just opened just outside of Raleigh. |
[2532.52 --> 2533.48] It's a place called Nightdale. |
[2533.48 --> 2536.44] And it looks out over this big park. |
[2536.52 --> 2540.48] And on the other side of the park is a place called Oak City Brewing. |
[2540.74 --> 2545.02] So what I'm thinking is two, three o'clock in the afternoon, something like that. |
[2545.08 --> 2547.84] We'll put all the details on meetup.com closer to the time. |
[2548.24 --> 2556.72] But something like two or three o'clock in the afternoon on the Saturday, we'll meet at the barbecue place, go get some food, sit on the lawn, go and eat and mingle with people. |
[2556.72 --> 2562.34] And then as the evening progresses, we can head across the brewery and go and get some drinks. |
[2562.58 --> 2568.96] And I've been racking my brains for the last few weeks about where we could go in town that was kind of a COVID-safe location. |
[2569.54 --> 2574.78] And the beauty of this place is we can all congregate in this place together, but we're outside. |
[2575.32 --> 2575.46] Right. |
[2575.52 --> 2580.98] And the weather in Raleigh in April is going to be lovely, of course, apart from the pollen, maybe that might be a thing. |
[2581.48 --> 2584.62] But on the whole, I think it'll be a lovely day for everybody. |
[2584.62 --> 2587.36] And it's going to be right next to some great stuff. |
[2588.00 --> 2588.12] Yeah. |
[2588.20 --> 2591.04] So the thing to do would be to join our meetup. |
[2591.62 --> 2600.46] We don't have like one set for this, but you could join the group at meetup.com slash Jupyter Broadcasting or join the Discord, self-hosted.show slash Discord if you have questions. |
[2600.74 --> 2607.46] But when we get our details solidified, which we're really close to, hopefully, we'll probably make a proper meetup post about it. |
[2607.46 --> 2615.26] But the provisional plan, like I say, is Saturday, April 9th, 2 or 3 p.m. until we all get bored and want to go home. |
[2615.64 --> 2616.20] Something like that. |
[2616.46 --> 2619.42] If you're anywhere in the area, we don't make it out to the East Coast too often. |
[2620.92 --> 2621.92] So come join us. |
[2621.96 --> 2622.72] It'd be a lot of fun. |
[2623.20 --> 2625.06] And also, thank you to our members. |
