My biggest projec t of 2024, was actually have a decent homelab, I went to the opposite direction, retireing my two mini PCs, that unfortunately didn't show good quality, having problems with the USB ports and the need to replace the processor fan in both... Now I have three machines with i5 10th gen, 32g RAM and 3 4Tb HDDs for ceph and 3 512gb SSDs. With this setup I'm exploring proxmox, running homeassistant, openmediavault, openvpn, pihole, gitea, an lxc conatiner with docker, a local ubuntu repo to serve my ubuntu VMs and LXCs and speed up updates, monitoring proxmox with an influxdb with grafana, and monitoring all of it and my entire home routers and iot a zabbix running with a 3 mariadb-galera cluster and MaxScale solution for DB redundancy.... Also learning a lot here! For 2025 I intend to focus in kubernetes and CI/CD... And ALWAYS watching your videos!
Thank you and the other home lab enthusiast. I started with a Synology NAS to move off of paying for cloud storage, started learning about docker, then set up my proxmox server, moved my containers to it, and did more container learning and deployments after moving away from proxmox helper scripts (thank that team for getting me off the ground). I just ordered three inexpensive mini pc to create a docker cluster. All of this has opened my mind more to open source, and my mind is sharper because of it. Keep up the good work with your channel.
@Jackavatar I come from a Windows shop, so I am new-ish with Linux as I've used it in the past, but not enough past Ubuntu GUI. I want to dive further, and the way has been for me to strip things down enough and redeploy a few times to get a better understanding of why things work or the flow of how they work. Docker was always in my peripheral, and with the container manager on Synology and watching the RUclipsr Techbite Tip, I could better understand the variables and volumes used after redeploying different Dockers several times. I want to test whether you can install the Arr suite for instances on a single LXC on Proxmox. Helper scripts are installed on a single LXC and IP and don't use Docker. If I install multiple dockers on a single LXC, are there any conflicts with the file locations or ports? That is what ifs brought me to the portainer, watchtower, and volumes, so I moved away from using Helper-scripts. I manually install and deploy, cement that which I'm tring to learn into my memory as if I were to use the helper scripts to deploy applications I'm interested in.
Thanks for the demo and info. Very helpful. I do need to switch over from my power hungry HP DL 360 G8, to the mini pc for optimal and cost savings electricity. Have a great day
Nuce video.. Do you mind sharing any link you used to skill up your Docker knowledge? I am with you I think this year I need to level up my knowledge on this subject. Lastly I know you're running Palo at the edge, but have you looked at Cisco's FTD?

Hi, I noticed that you moved away from proxmox helper scripts. What's the reason you made this decision?

I switched to xcp-ng this year myself, also switched from Synology apps to docker/docker compose containers
Thanks to your guide now I have docker swarm in my homelab, though I use NFS instead of microceph. Will be closely following more projects!

I use containers in VM. Best of both worlds. Mobility and backup-ability of VMs and simplicity of deployment of Docker.
Are you still using Palo Alto router I am looking into this router
