Weekend Wireless Wizardry ft. UniFi
This video follows my wireless upgrade adventure over 3 days. I try to figure out what works, what doesn't, and how to extend the range of my home Wi-Fi while trying to improve the wireless bridge to my garage with the Unifi U7 Outdoor, the Unifi Device Bridge (UDB), and the Unifi Device Bridge Pro (UDB-Pro).
Ubiquiti devices were provided for testing and upgrading my existing devices, which is why you see the sponsored banner. I was not paid.

Proxmox and TrueNAS in my Living Room

This case was meant for gaming but I decided to do a little tinkering to see if I could truly turn this build into a NAS for a good-looking home server in your living room. Oh, and I decided to install the power combo - Proxmox TrueNAS I originally built a standalone media server on Windows that focused on low energy use, but decided to take it one step further.

    i just realized it seems i could run one of these in router mode for a remote building (connected by fiber to the switch HA is on) and the ethernet will backhaul the information back to home assistant. that literally solves all my problems i was trying to figure out and i was going to end up just running two instances of Z2M which i didnt want to do.

    Great video, i had some initial problems with the nvidia drivers for a RTX 3060. I ended up using 525 drivers and got it to work. I used the docker-compose file without traefik. I've watched your Traefik guide a couple times. I've been trying how to figure out how I can combine the 2 guides. I'd really love to have the SSL certs. Anyone have any suggestions? I've tried googling and chatgpt far. I do have my container backed up so I can restore it if I bork something up. Thanks in advance

  • @michaelkaicher9569
    @michaelkaicher9569 9 дней назад

    Wouldn't it have been better to pass your SATA controller directly to your Truenas guest, rather than the individual drives? I have a similar build with both the SSD and HDD pools on the Truenas guest which are shared back to the Proxmox host via NFS as needed. Alternatively, throw a 2nd little SATA controller in the unused PCIe slot for a dedicated controller for the Truenas guest.

    Auto for power is considered max anyway, and if you use higher than 100 you will interfere with weather radar for sure, staying on 100 or checking what radio frequencies are used in your region can be wise. The max speed is 867 Mhz so you are spot on already

    Mimosa by Airspan is far better than Ubiquiti for point to point links the latest Mimosa A6 access point and the C6 receiver can negotiate a link of 1Gbps PtP. Ubiquiti devices just have a great design. That’s it. The performance is bad for indoor access points I would choose HPE Aruba or TP-Link Omada because the wireless performance on these devices is awesome

    Did you think of mounting the u7-outdoor AP to your garage instead? I bet that would have worked pretty well with the existing AP in the house.

    For my detached garage, we buried a Cat7 outdoor-rated cable when we first moved in. But recently I ran a fiber line over the air to try getting some crazy 10Gb speeds. In a previous project, I had set up some string lights for backyard / patio lighting. The lights hang from a tension cable - so I was able to just attach the fiber to that.

      I ran an aerial Cat6 line to our detached garage. (We already had overhead power going there, so what’s one more cable.) I have everything running in the garage (Ultra switch, AP, Protect cameras, Protect Floodlight, etc) from one POE++. I thought about running an outdoor fiber line out there as well, but no need for now. I have more stuff in the backyard wired up (cameras, AP, and air quality sensor) and hid those lines with the strung up garden lights.

    aw i hate passthru connectors lol. I think you really should have gotten outdoor rated cables tho. But Cat6a + only for me now, 10gbps at longer runs if I need it (back bone is all 10gb for me) and the shielding is a must for me as a ham too lol. All I have to say is I'm glad you used "B" much better and the honest standard for everyone but those weirdo a/v guys (I kid!)

      @TheMrDrMs Месяц назад

      @@TechnoTimTinkers Passthrough is definately great for making terminating easy, however I started out with networking and making cables without passthrough, then I tried a pair maybe after a decade, the blade was awful and would either chop thru the tip of the connector (the latching tip that sticks out a tiny bit) or mangled the wires. I then also had a few pairs that were outdoor installations in wx protected ends with the rubber boots and o-rings that screwed over the rj45 on the outside of the box. Over time noticed oddites with the network, and inspecting the cable there was some corrison on the exposed ends. (All POE were in this example) But hey, no hate, if you like it and it works, then that's awesome too

    I saw SABRENT on the USB adapter, and knew it wouldn't boot. Doesn't disabling UAS mean you aren't getting the best possible speeds? Do yourself a favour, ditch sabrent (or anything that uses the same JMicron Technology chipset) and go with a USB to SSD that uses maybe ASMedia Technology or anything other than JMicron - note: on a non-pi system, JMicron is 1/10th the speed of ASMedia based USB to SATA

    Hi there. First of all congratulations for your video. I'm a newbie on this stuff, especially on linux environments, and after tried a few months a working units with Truenas Scale, it seemed too complex to get it working also as a media center using Emby, and also a few other things like qbitorrent, etc. due to the annoying permissions sets... So you triggered me a desire to have a try on this combo Proxmox + Truenas Scale, but i miss some skills on that part of getting the whole hhd drives pass-through available to Truenas. I'm aware that this wasn't the purpose of your video, but can you please help me out? Or maybe have a dedicated video for that? 🙏 Thanks in advance
