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).

Proxmox and TrueNAS in my Living Room
Просмотров 75 тыс.2 месяца назад
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.

It's absurd the price you spent to build that, considering the NAS you can get for less than half of that.
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
Hey, great tutorial! What are you using the TrueNAS for? If all of your VMs are running on SSD
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.
No ECC for a nas is kinda risky ngl
How did you setup your Proxmox server?
Jonsbo N3 - nice bit of kit
Really love seeing the behind the scenes install
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
But if to connect slzb-06 coordinator to raspbery or another host, same way as ZHA, I think is more stable than connecting to POE, but I'm not sure it's possible, have you try that way?
I have a problem with my slzb 06 loses IP address at all the times, how to fix it?
Great video Tim, as always! Can this setup be placed in remote location like parent's house and accessed just like on my network ?
Few things to get off my chest 1. even turning those hdds on a side and using screws from perforated top panel would have been a better option. im imagining you still plan on cleaning living room and need to move that case at some point. you will end up with hdd failures sooner rather than later. 2. living room nas? with dual noise hdds? please try and give good advice to the average Joe that wants to build his first nas
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
😲😲😲 ohhhhh. That poor AP 🤦🏻♂️ I didnt know "Linus" was making an appearance in the video. 😉🤣
Why are you so against drilling a hole the size of an ethernet cable and mounting the bridge outside the garage? Also I hope you turned down the transmit power after this testing.
I'm waiting for Tims Technotim's top tool tips.
why does Truenas GUI says it's ECC mode?
Great vdeo..worth tbe watch !
No outdoor 6Ghz in usa yet sadly
I wonder if having the HDDs not being vertical would be an issue on the long run, because of physics? (Talking here about 10 years later or so)
Tbh, used the UISP Wave Pico for a similar setup/challenge. Works perfectly, no digging, and tbh, it's pretty economical for a 60Ghz bridge.
I might have an upgrade in my future!
@@TechnoTimTinkers it was a fun setup!
Yes the wave ap and the wave pros are amazing. We use the at our farm with support for multiple bridges. The speed is stupid fast. Three out buildings back to house crazy reach.
13:19 I hope you did that right, cause you said Green twice which threw me right off. You said, White Green, Green, Blue, White Blue, GREEN...as you probably know, it's white green blue, white blue, green.
Oh good catch! It seems right, I must have just said the wrong thing! 🤞
Unless you did T568B. Then it's: orange-stripe orange green-stripe blue blue-stripe green brown-stripe brown 😉🤣
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. I ran fiber out to a shed that I built this year while I had the trench open. It was a fun project and its cool to think that a shed has fiber networking lol.
I might get there at some point, I have been slowly upgrading this bridge. Maybe fiber one day 😅
I laughed too hard at you
😅
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.
2 for 1! Such a great idea!
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.
They make armored fiber cable so hopefully you've used that. Great idea to attach it to the tension cable.
Why True Nas on Proxmox, It's Or nont And. 2 systems do the same, TrueNas is user friendly, proxmox not...
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!)
Haha! Out of curiosity why don't you like passthru? I thought they were so awesome when I heard of them but never really looked at the pros and cons! Also, yes, B, always B 🇺🇸 😅
@@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
@ thanks for sharing your experience! This give great context!
Outdoor rated cat-6??? Especially in places like MN where you get extreme ranges of sun and cold.
Good call! Unfortunately, it's not 😬. I had to buy bulk cat6 riser for indoors and couldn't justify spending even more for this 1 run. We'll see what happens 🤞
As a note the captions are really off. I had to switch to the auto-generated captions
sorry, I will check and fix them now!
Thank you so much for letting me know! I uploaded the wrong file 🤦♂. Refresh and should be good!
@@TechnoTimTinkers thank you!
@@johnvillalovos Thank you! Seriously! I put a lot of time into them and would have never known I uploaded the wrong file had you not said something!
I know the pain of terminating network cable in the cold outdoors... I just did it for a new security camera...
Why you did not consider MoCA Network adapters?
I don't think he has coaxial cable to his garage?
That's right, no coax in the garage. Also, once we got fiber, I removed all coax cables and terminals from my entire house!
Before I watch this video, I'd like to thank you for sharing your content. I really enjoyed your garage video series, because it's grounded. I have 3 Synologys, all running containers. 15tb which is fully saturated. I have a ton of hdds in waiting and 2 pcs that I'm slowly building into servers..... My objective is to build a semi robust jellyfin share for my family. .. the synos don't have the guts to take on 1 additional user each. I would love to see something within legal boundaries, what you do if you share. Just My thoughts. Truly enjoy your content!
Thank you so much!!
Love all the videos on both channels man! You've been very helpful and inspirational when dealing with my own HomeLab!
Thank you so mmuch!
With the current prices for graphics cards, it's probabbly cheaper to pay the subscriptions.
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
This is kinda blowing my mind. I havent built a pc since 2011 and havent really paid close attention to the advancements. Things have changed soooooo much!
interesting experiment anyway that case it's too much small to be used as a NAS. You don't have any space left to mount other hdd.
two editional fans in my livingroom is not an option for me
We need a deep dive on Nano please, sweet pup!
He's such a good boy
How does setting up the boot drives work? I understand you have two mirrored SSDs, is Proxmox installed on these?
Can you run ZHA and Z2M simultaneously with the SLZB-06?
Why? If you want to run both in parallel you should use two coordinators under two Zigbee frequencies
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
how big should a boot ssd be
Don't you need proper ECC memory for ZFS? I thought standard memory was risky?
Have you considered making a DIY JBOD?
How are the Exos disks doing soundwise please? I am building a NAS which will be right next to me and was looking at these disks, but I am afraid they will be quite loud (especially when not idle).
These are pretty quiet if you use some kind of sound dampening like rubber feet or bushings.
