I've been researching this topic a lot recently. A lot of the older videos I've done on things like URBackup and Duplicati, are still valid, but the projects just seem to go stale after a while. Borg backup is the next most discussed, but it's all cli, so looking for a good GUI that will work with it to present as well.
Glad I could help. The developer is trying to build a better roadmap, so he can focus on things better. The project exploded, and he works on it, as do most, in his spare time, so I think it gets overwhelming a lot of times.
I have found that there are tons more software for Linux than Windows. And the upside is the fact that they are open source, free, non malware, maintained, easily findable thanks to repos or flatpak or snap or appimage. I am appalled how Microsoft keeps their users in the dark and deliberately kneecaps them
Thanks for the share, love your work! Question, have you thought about making a video for open source single sign on (SSO)? I haven't found any good examples used in home lab.
Authentik has peaked my interest, but I haven't had time to sit down and dig in. There's just sooooo much to SSO. It's an overly complicated subject for something that seems simple on the surface. In the mean time, you might check out the cooptonian channel www.youtube.com/@cooptonian as he has a ton of Authentik content already.
@@AwesomeOpenSource Thank you so much for the reference i sincerely appreciate you're the best!!!!! I will take a poke around. My workplace uses SSO heavily and of course what better way to learn than setting something yourself 😄. Once again thank you so much for the direction and i will do some digging on my part.
+1 for tabby. been using it since it was terminus. not as light weight as putty but the features are generally worth it. I still use putty for one offs though
I'm no stranger to the terminal, but wireguird is what I was missing. It's name is so close to wireguard that just googling it after knowing the name from your video, I kept getting redirected, ha. So not surprised I'd never heard of it before.
Yep it's a pain to find on google. I just found another project that also works pretty well. Not quite as nice in my opinion, but it's a good start. I'll do a video on it soon.
@Awesome Open Source what's the difference between wireguard and wireguird, I didn't understand that? Also is wireguard a VPN? I am looking for a VPN service for Linux
I really like Hover. Their setup andcontrols (IMO) are much better. GoDaddy is a huge mess, and there's 10 different ways to navigate to the things you want with constant upsell ads in the way.
Id love companies and people to use more Open Source but hey theres only Microsoft Google and Amazon out there right? Also noone gives a damn about GDPR just hand highly sensitive health data to Google or Facebook what could go wrong......ugh.

So, nextcloud is a syncing service, so I use it for that purpose. I don't backup NextCloud, but instead my nextcloud folder on my local machine. So nextcloud keeps all of my machines (folders on various devices) in sync, but I keep a backup of my local folder on my TrueNAS box using rsync. NextCloud AIO (which is what i'm using, does have a borg backup component built in, and I use it to make a backup before any updates. I suppose I could use it to make more regular backups as well, but this is how I do it today.
Sir, Can you help me one thing, Can i get a reference for a open source application which can make a tunel for port forwarding or open port for home pc. My ISP did not alow me for port opening and static ip. thats why i can access my home pc from outside network. (Like duckdns, noip, etc.) if possibile pls share me a tutorial video also.
Netmaker. You set it up in a VPS, then use it to create a Wireguard mesh network to various machines. You can also use a machine on your network to create an egress node out to your LAN so you can access it with any client connected to that same Netmaker network. I have a video on it here ruclips.net/video/X-BYDYoM_3w/видео.html
Well I use Firefox for my daytime job too, so you'll see Okta up there, as that's why my work uses. The only extensions you can't see because I don't have them pinned, are uBlock Origin (a must honestly), wave (a system for checking accessibility of a site), and Privacy.com. BTW, not a stupid question at all.
Thank you for the great experience I have a query How many devices do you use for these programs that I explained in the two sections? I wish you to how your home lab was built my regards
My next video will be about my hardware setup, so maybe that will help. but in reality, most of the apps run on a single server that runs 2 Virtual machines with Docker installed. Its not necessary to split it that way, I just do because I make videos. With the level of use I and my family have, I could probably run everything on a single machine with 32 G RAM with no issues. Maybe even less RAM 24 G would probably be more than enough.
Thank you for your response, and I hope to get the following video, settings for virtual machines, how they work and prepare them my regards@@AwesomeOpenSource
I don't use them all every single day, like I said Crater is a few times a month, shotcut is weekly for my video editing, OBS is a few times a week for recording segments, but also keep in mind that using something doesn't mean I directly access it's management gui. Like HomeAssistant, Nextcloud, and other services that I am using, but not consciously as much as some of the others. But these are what I would call my core applications for regular use, and many of them are used every day for one reason or another. You have to remember, I'm a tinkerer, so I love to get in and update, change, test, and just make sure things are working.
I've been moving all of my stuff to lower power servers (mini-pcs that only use a few watts of power), my next step is to get some good battery systems that can keep them running for a while, and that will help tremendously. I actually had a power outage a few years back during a serious cold spell. No power for a week, and honestly, it was so cold that my wife and I were in survival mode trying to keep my parents, her mom, and two nieces warm, fed, and safe. It took us the entire day every day to get everything done just to keep things going, so there was no time for homelab. The comforts we enjoy normally are really taken for granted.
@@AwesomeOpenSource Thank you for the list. I've already known most of what you've showed, but I'm installing PiAlert for my home network now. I'd also add Immich which is a great self-hosted Google Photos alternative.
Those are a couple of the widgets you can add to dashy. I have a video on dashy widgets here in the show notes here wiki.opensourceisawesome.com/books/self-hosted-dashboards/page/adding-widgets-to-the-dashy-dashboard

It likely is today. But, also it's closed source. I really prefer open source, completely free (libre free) software. And for me, trilium does far more than I have ever needed.
Can you give me a little more about what specifically you are looking for out of a task management app? Might help me find the right fit to start with. Nextcloud has a nice little add-on called Tasks, it allows you to setup teams, assign tasks, track tasks through statuses in a kanban board, add notes, etc. I think it may also do reminders, but can't recall for sure.
It is a bit annoying that an app is so heavy, but it's really been one of the best things for Linux users because before these types of apps came along 90% of applications were windows only, and a few more percent has a mac version, but almost none had a linux version.
The good news is there are projects out there to help solve the cross platform issues with much lighter weight options, they just need more people to get on board with them. Hopefully lower barrier to entry in the long run.
Most run in a browser, and in docker, so yes, they'll run on anything with a modern browser. The installed apps have Windows options, (Shotcut, xLights, etc).
When I tried it, I found the interface a bit clunky, particularly for playlist creation. The Navidrome stuff has been really great, and I use it all the time, plus it’s easy to pull music to my device for offline listening. Jellyfin may have that now, but it didn’t when I originally tried it.
So, if you're asking what could you use to give users access to multiple desktop sessions using a single server, there are several. You can use X2Go server adn client (you need the desktop to be running on X11, and not Wayland. You can try Webtops as well, which spins up a dockerized desktop environment, so you spin one up for each user. You could run LXC containers with the desktop of choice on each one (Scott over at the @Scottabyte channel has a video on doing this with ubuntu, and then using RDP to access it). Not really RDS, but still nice minimal VMs that could be used.
I prefer shotcut. i find it to be far more stable in my use cases anyway, I like the workflow of it, and It generally uses fewer resources to run on my hardware. That said, KdenLive is some incredibly powerful software. If you can get used to the workflow, I'm usre it woudl serve anyone well.
I would like to provide some very useful programs to install with docker such as: XIBO (ad display server), Calibre web (digital book shelf), Odoo (administration program), Jitsi (video call server), Drawio (flow drawing of work), kasmweb (web application server), azuracast (radio server), Binance Trading bot (cryptocurrency bot), openvpn (vpn server), cups (print server). If you know more, share.
Which OS are you using? I am web and mobile app developer. also gamer.. right now I am using windows and Mac too.. I want explore Linux so which Linux disb suites for me... If you have any idea?
Linux distro is a definite personal choice, but I think a lot of developers like either Ubuntu because most of the stuff just works and most apps will have some way of running on it pretty easily (for Linux apps that is), or they go toward an Arch spin which is more cutting edge, and a bit more "fun" if you don't mind tweaking your system occasionally. There are some really good Arch spins out there now like EndeavorOS, Garuda Linux, Manjaro, and several more. I'd say just check on reddit in the LInux sub-reddit and ask there too. You'll probably get an array of answers, but hopefully more detail too.
I haven't tried wled. I may, but the learning curve for me with x-light was high enough. I was really just trying to make the system work. Once it did, it was AMAZING though.
@@AwesomeOpenSource with WLED learning curve is not so high. I have both installing and updating videos on my channel. WLED is awesome hardware support too, you can use a simple ESP8266 or ES32 run a small under 1A directly from a USB plug or use esps just as a controller while using power injection. there is a sound reactive version too.
I haven't really had to deal with any support issues, it just works for me. The one time I did hit a snag, they had a fix / answer already in their forums that I applied...but that was 4 or 5 years ago now.
@@AwesomeOpenSource Thats good to know. What app are you using to view the media from jellyfin in? While its great Emby has a plugin to parse everything through between the client and server, without it its very hard to setup without it. Do you find the same with Jellyfin?
No, jellyfin just seems to work. In the server there is a local network discovery option you can turn on to help with Client setup, but other than that just use the IP of the server. I use the jellyfin client on Roku (really solid). I use Swiftfin on AppleTV (getting better all the time). I have used InFuse on apple tv, and it was good, but a bit clunky on moving through the UI. On computers, I use the browser as it works perfectly fine. On my mobiles, I use the official Jellyfin app.
I was for a while, and it was nice, but started having issues after an update, so switched to Kubuntu 22.04 for about a year, and just switched to Ubuntu 22.04 a few months back.
I don't suppose I understand. I run it without charge today. Their LICENSE is here github.com/crater-invoice/crater/blob/master/LICENSE. The same Github site where you can freely get the code and modify it as you see fit.
OMFG. When i'm being recommended something, IDFC how good or how excited, or whatever you feel about the shit you''re recommending. We only care about what it can do for us and what it has that it can offer. What the actual fuck.
Sorry my format wasn't what you were looking for, but here's a site that might fit better what you'd like to know. This creator has done a few videos on his everyday open source solutions, and he handles the details, I believe, much more in the way you'd enjoy. www.youtube.com/@TheLinuxEXP/videos
Hahaha... definitely don't listen to the Linux Unplugged podcast. You'll cry when they pronounce. I truly have no idea how they intend it to be pronounced. I used to say 'nome', but then heard people say it's 'guh-nome' becuase the 'G' is from 'GNU (guh-new)'.
@@AwesomeOpenSource One of the most fundamental principles of modern linguistics is descriptivism. There should be no value judgement about particular words or pronunciations or types of speech, there must be no correct way to speak handed down from on high. We describe how people speak. If language changes, we change with it. Even if you invented the word, you don't get to make the call on how it's pronounced.

Seems to be some sensitive data showing around the 16:00 mark of the video on the right
Not to worry. It's a throw-away email I use for testing.
Sir, Can you help me one thing, Can i get a reference for a open source application which can make a tunel for port forwarding or open port for home pc. My ISP did not alow me for port opening and static ip. thats why i can access my home pc from outside network. (Like duckdns, noip, etc.) if possibile pls share me a tutorial video also.
Netmaker. You set it up in a VPS, then use it to create a Wireguard mesh network to various machines. You can also use a machine on your network to create an egress node out to your LAN so you can access it with any client connected to that same Netmaker network. I have a video on it here ruclips.net/video/X-BYDYoM_3w/видео.html
Hope there are good open source games like Veloren.
There are tons of good open source games for sure, but not as many that are MMORPG sadly. a few though.
stupid question, but what extensions do you use in Firefox? recognized Dark Reader, Bitwarden. Thanks…
Well I use Firefox for my daytime job too, so you'll see Okta up there, as that's why my work uses. The only extensions you can't see because I don't have them pinned, are uBlock Origin (a must honestly), wave (a system for checking accessibility of a site), and Privacy.com. BTW, not a stupid question at all.
Thank you for the great experience
I have a query
How many devices do you use for these programs that I explained in the two sections?
I wish you to how your home lab was built
my regards
My next video will be about my hardware setup, so maybe that will help. but in reality, most of the apps run on a single server that runs 2 Virtual machines with Docker installed. Its not necessary to split it that way, I just do because I make videos. With the level of use I and my family have, I could probably run everything on a single machine with 32 G RAM with no issues. Maybe even less RAM 24 G would probably be more than enough.
Thank you for your response, and I hope to get the following video, settings for virtual machines, how they work and prepare them
my regards@@AwesomeOpenSource
You could not possibly use everything shown in part 1 & 2 everyday!! It's just not possible.
I don't use them all every single day, like I said Crater is a few times a month, shotcut is weekly for my video editing, OBS is a few times a week for recording segments, but also keep in mind that using something doesn't mean I directly access it's management gui. Like HomeAssistant, Nextcloud, and other services that I am using, but not consciously as much as some of the others. But these are what I would call my core applications for regular use, and many of them are used every day for one reason or another. You have to remember, I'm a tinkerer, so I love to get in and update, change, test, and just make sure things are working.
in the show notes, the link for quantux is the link for navidrome. looks like you forgot to change it
Hahaha. Thanks. I’ll update it.
How would you survive in a power cut?
I've been moving all of my stuff to lower power servers (mini-pcs that only use a few watts of power), my next step is to get some good battery systems that can keep them running for a while, and that will help tremendously. I actually had a power outage a few years back during a serious cold spell. No power for a week, and honestly, it was so cold that my wife and I were in survival mode trying to keep my parents, her mom, and two nieces warm, fed, and safe. It took us the entire day every day to get everything done just to keep things going, so there was no time for homelab. The comforts we enjoy normally are really taken for granted.
OBS means Open Broadcaster Software, not Open Broadcast System
Thank you for that. I mess up those names so much.
@@AwesomeOpenSource Thank you for the list. I've already known most of what you've showed, but I'm installing PiAlert for my home network now. I'd also add Immich which is a great self-hosted Google Photos alternative.
I started an Immich video a while back, but realized I just wasn't familiar enough to make it useful, so I'll start again on a new one soon.
NIce video, thanks. I was wondering, is that a clock/weather app on your dashy screen? Where is that from?
Those are a couple of the widgets you can add to dashy. I have a video on dashy widgets here in the show notes here wiki.opensourceisawesome.com/books/self-hosted-dashboards/page/adding-widgets-to-the-dashy-dashboard
Any open source digital signage application
XLights might actually give you that if the sign is an array of pixel LEDs. I'll look around for any others though.

I found Obsidan to be a far more powerful note taking app compared to Trillium.
It likely is today. But, also it's closed source. I really prefer open source, completely free (libre free) software. And for me, trilium does far more than I have ever needed.
Hi,
is there any self hosted task management app for both mobile and website?
Can you give me a little more about what specifically you are looking for out of a task management app? Might help me find the right fit to start with. Nextcloud has a nice little add-on called Tasks, it allows you to setup teams, assign tasks, track tasks through statuses in a kanban board, add notes, etc. I think it may also do reminders, but can't recall for sure.
I absolutely hate that most native apps nowadays are made using web technology, resulting in big and demanding software.
It is a bit annoying that an app is so heavy, but it's really been one of the best things for Linux users because before these types of apps came along 90% of applications were windows only, and a few more percent has a mac version, but almost none had a linux version.
The good news is there are projects out there to help solve the cross platform issues with much lighter weight options, they just need more people to get on board with them. Hopefully lower barrier to entry in the long run.
Are these programs compatible with windows?
Most run in a browser, and in docker, so yes, they'll run on anything with a modern browser. The installed apps have Windows options, (Shotcut, xLights, etc).
@@AwesomeOpenSourcethanks
You have any security auditing tool web and server ?
I haven't used any so far, but you might check out Invicti www.invicti.com/blog/news/netsparker-is-now-invicti-signaling-a-new-era-for-modern-appsec/
Good Open Source Photo Editors ?
Check out this one. I'm not a photo editing pro, but I've heard good things about it. www.darktable.org/
@@AwesomeOpenSource Thank you
Trilian looks really nice but i miss a mobile app for this :/
The interface seems to scale fine for mobile for me.
I enjoyed the video. Very inspiring! What is the name of the linux destro your using?
Disregard question. Just found in part one. Thank you.
Glad you found it.
Great Video Brain, thank you. Why do you not use Jellfin for music?
When I tried it, I found the interface a bit clunky, particularly for playlist creation. The Navidrome stuff has been really great, and I use it all the time, plus it’s easy to pull music to my device for offline listening. Jellyfin may have that now, but it didn’t when I originally tried it.
@@AwesomeOpenSource I will try it
great
thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
windterm is better than tabby， tabby use too much resources
Awesome! I'll 100% check it out. Looks very cool.
What would you say is a good, free windows RDS server like solution
So, if you're asking what could you use to give users access to multiple desktop sessions using a single server, there are several. You can use X2Go server adn client (you need the desktop to be running on X11, and not Wayland. You can try Webtops as well, which spins up a dockerized desktop environment, so you spin one up for each user. You could run LXC containers with the desktop of choice on each one (Scott over at the @Scottabyte channel has a video on doing this with ubuntu, and then using RDP to access it). Not really RDS, but still nice minimal VMs that could be used.
@@AwesomeOpenSource xrdp and xpra aswell, just thought of a windows environment, as windows limits it to 2
hiy brian I am waiting for part 3
Hardware setup coming soon.
@@AwesomeOpenSource Bring it onnnnnnn
Is Netmaker open-source; free for users?
Yes. He has an Enterprise edition that has some extra metrics and such, but you can even use that for free up to a certain number of nodes.
Shotcut or kdenlive?
I prefer shotcut. i find it to be far more stable in my use cases anyway, I like the workflow of it, and It generally uses fewer resources to run on my hardware. That said, KdenLive is some incredibly powerful software. If you can get used to the workflow, I'm usre it woudl serve anyone well.
Awesome Mr
Thank you!
I would like to provide some very useful programs to install with docker such as: XIBO (ad display server), Calibre web (digital book shelf), Odoo (administration program), Jitsi (video call server), Drawio (flow drawing of work), kasmweb (web application server), azuracast (radio server), Binance Trading bot (cryptocurrency bot), openvpn (vpn server), cups (print server). If you know more, share.
Are you suggesting videos on these, or asking if they can be installed in docker? Or you want to provide this as a service?
I also use RustDesk every day.
It's awesome stuff!
Which OS are you using? I am web and mobile app developer. also gamer.. right now I am using windows and Mac too.. I want explore Linux so which Linux disb suites for me... If you have any idea?
Linux distro is a definite personal choice, but I think a lot of developers like either Ubuntu because most of the stuff just works and most apps will have some way of running on it pretty easily (for Linux apps that is), or they go toward an Arch spin which is more cutting edge, and a bit more "fun" if you don't mind tweaking your system occasionally. There are some really good Arch spins out there now like EndeavorOS, Garuda Linux, Manjaro, and several more. I'd say just check on reddit in the LInux sub-reddit and ask there too. You'll probably get an array of answers, but hopefully more detail too.
@@AwesomeOpenSource cool 😎.. Thanks for sharing those😍
when not use wled instead of x-light ?
I haven't tried wled. I may, but the learning curve for me with x-light was high enough. I was really just trying to make the system work. Once it did, it was AMAZING though.
@@AwesomeOpenSource wled is simple, plug and play.
@@AwesomeOpenSource with WLED learning curve is not so high. I have both installing and updating videos on my channel. WLED is awesome hardware support too, you can use a simple ESP8266 or ES32 run a small under 1A directly from a USB plug or use esps just as a controller while using power injection. there is a sound reactive version too.
Is there a particular reason you use Jellyfin over Emby?
Jellyfin is open source.
@@AwesomeOpenSource Hows the support on it? I know Emby they're pretty good in the support forum with answers
I haven't really had to deal with any support issues, it just works for me. The one time I did hit a snag, they had a fix / answer already in their forums that I applied...but that was 4 or 5 years ago now.
@@AwesomeOpenSource Thats good to know. What app are you using to view the media from jellyfin in? While its great Emby has a plugin to parse everything through between the client and server, without it its very hard to setup without it. Do you find the same with Jellyfin?
No, jellyfin just seems to work. In the server there is a local network discovery option you can turn on to help with Client setup, but other than that just use the IP of the server. I use the jellyfin client on Roku (really solid). I use Swiftfin on AppleTV (getting better all the time). I have used InFuse on apple tv, and it was good, but a bit clunky on moving through the UI. On computers, I use the browser as it works perfectly fine. On my mobiles, I use the official Jellyfin app.
are you using pop os ?
I was for a while, and it was nice, but started having issues after an update, so switched to Kubuntu 22.04 for about a year, and just switched to Ubuntu 22.04 a few months back.
I did like it
Thanks!
why not kodi?
I wouldn't use 90% of it, and I really love Jellyfin for my needs.
Crater Invoice is not free Software, so by definition not real open source.
Sucks.
I don't suppose I understand. I run it without charge today. Their LICENSE is here github.com/crater-invoice/crater/blob/master/LICENSE. The same Github site where you can freely get the code and modify it as you see fit.
@@AwesomeOpenSource no, you can't -
Ahahahaha, just saw it, before 2021 it was a very shitty license.
OMFG. When i'm being recommended something, IDFC how good or how excited, or whatever you feel about the shit you''re recommending.
We only care about what it can do for us and what it has that it can offer.
What the actual fuck.
Sorry my format wasn't what you were looking for, but here's a site that might fit better what you'd like to know. This creator has done a few videos on his everyday open source solutions, and he handles the details, I believe, much more in the way you'd enjoy. www.youtube.com/@TheLinuxEXP/videos
"nome", not "guh-nome"
The world runs in descriptivism, not prescriptivism.
Hahaha... definitely don't listen to the Linux Unplugged podcast. You'll cry when they pronounce. I truly have no idea how they intend it to be pronounced. I used to say 'nome', but then heard people say it's 'guh-nome' becuase the 'G' is from 'GNU (guh-new)'.
Yes, guh-nome.
@@AwesomeOpenSource One of the most fundamental principles of modern linguistics is descriptivism. There should be no value judgement about particular words or pronunciations or types of speech, there must be no correct way to speak handed down from on high. We describe how people speak. If language changes, we change with it.
Even if you invented the word, you don't get to make the call on how it's pronounced.
I just switched from Traefik to Nginx because of you. SO MUCH EASIER to work with.
Glad I could help. Traefik has a lot of power, but is definitely more of a think-ahead type application.

I tried Trillium Notes and I tried to like it, but it's so overloaded with features I'll never use, it hasn't done things that i *will* use. A shame
@@legendboyAni I'm after an open source and self hosted option...so unlimited as limited as my server is. But it's notes, how much space could you actually use, right? And who needs photos in notes? Not I. Thanks for the suggestion
@@icyhotonmynuts Joplin might work for you. I use standard notes myself.
The suggestions here are great. I've got another notes app I'll be checking out soon called Benotes, and I've used Joplin in the past, and it's an amazing app that really is for notes. I think it might be a good fit for you. ruclips.net/video/zrEJP50R6Fo/видео.html
@icyhotonmynuts hey i don't know why you deleted your reply but yeah that's OK if you want to use self hosted server for notes, (i didn't know about that) but notesnook is not a bad choice for the ppls who can't host there own server like me but still don't want to use unsecured proprietary software, notesnook have e2e encryption and no one can she your notes without the security key that they provide just like matrix, but yeah i don't know that this is decentralize or not maybe not, and also i think many ppl use photos in notes as well like me 3d animators, artist and other type of creative work ppl.
@@legendboyAni I didn't delete any reply, it's still there. This video is discussing all of their self hosted programs/ options, so was I.
