DB Tech Homelab Showcase 2023: What's Inside? - Ad-Free
Welcome back to what has become an annual tradition! It's that time of year when we open the doors to my humble homelab, revealing all the tech I've been using. ?
I've been privileged to dive into your incredible homelabs during live streams, and I've witnessed fellow creators unleashing their homelab magic in videos. So, why share *my* homelab with you as well?

I'm using a 20 gallon tank as my sump and a 55 gallon tank as my display.
All of the main filter tubing is 1/2". All of the Overflow tubing is 3/4".
I drilled a hole in the siphon near the top so that if the water level goes below that, the siphon stops. This is especially helpful if the power goes out and your return pump quits working. Without the hole, the display tank would empty all over the floor.
If the siphon loses suction and the power comes back on and the pump starts pumping again, the overflow kicks in and keeps the main tank from overflowing.
Please leave comments!

In this video we'll look at how to Setup the Ultimate Raspberry Pi 4 Home Server with DockSTARTer.
The main goal of DockSTARTer is to make it quick and easy to get up and running with Docker.
You may choose to rely on DockSTARTer for various changes to your Docker system, or use DockSTARTer as a stepping stone and learn to do more advanced configurations.

In this video we're going to take a look at a Docker application called Yacht.
Yacht is an alternative to Portainer that aims to make docker more accessible to the everyday person and is focused on selfhosters instead of the enterprise.

In this video I'll show you how to install Windows 10 on a compatible Chromebook. I will NOT tell you if YOUR Chromebook is compatible. I show how to find out IN THE VIDEO. I also tell how to find out in the blog post linked below. If doing just THAT is too much for you to handle, then this tutorial isn't for you. If you ask if your Chromebook is compatible, I will most likely delete your comment. It's THAT simple.
Because of Windows requirements having changed since this video was made, you'll need AT LEAST 32GB OF HARD DRIVE SPACE. Adding a USB drive or an SD card will not work. It has to be AT LEAST 32GB OF HARD DRIVE SPACE. I don't know how else to say it: YOUR HARD DRIVE NEEDS TO BE AT LEAST 32GB.
In late 2018 I made a video about how to install Windows 10 on a Chromebook. The video was popular, but it missed several things and caused a fair amount of confusion. I made follow up videos that ended up leading people on a wild goose chase. I want to apologize for that so I created this new tutorial. It is more in-depth and, hopefully, easier to follow along with. The new video shows, again, hopefully, all of the steps to make this process as easy as possible.
Timestamps:
0:00 - Intro - Still important
1:13 - Step 1 - Watch this video in its entirety
1:57 - Step 2 - Make sure your Chromebook is compatible
5:28 - Step 3 - Gather your supplies
6:21 - Step 4 - Create your Windows bootable USB
9:17 - Step 5 - Put your Chromebook into Developer mode
29:31 - Step 5a - Installing Windows Normally
31:12 - Step 6 - Installing Drivers
/======= READ THIS =======/
If anyone gets the corrupted download error (Firmware download checksum fail; download corrupted, cannot flash) while trying to flash go to his blog post in the description and find the chromebox software command and run that instead and follow the same instructions.
/=======================/
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO INSTALL CURL. IT IS ALREADY INSTALLED.
I apologize, but because YouTube puts limits on how long a video description can be, all of the instructions for the video will be on my website:

Change 'image:tag' to the appropriate KasmWeb Image. Also change the 6901:6901 as necessary (6902:6901 for example)
The container is now accessible via a browser : https://IP:6901 (or whatever port you setup for the container.)
The https is required.

One of the advantages of using the workspaces app instead of just the standalone containers is that you get:
- Audio
- Microphone passthrough
- File Uploads
- File Downloads
- Session sharing

In this video we'll look at How to Install QBittorrent with a VPN on OMV/Docker.
The process is pretty easy and straightforward, but you'll need a VPN account in order for this to work. I'll be using Private Internet Access (PIA).
There are several other providers that will work with this. Here's a blog post that has some other options, but you can search for more by Googling "OpenVPN Providers": https://www.vpnranks.com/best-vpn/openvpn/
Here is the full tutorial on my blog:

Audio quality is very important when recording video. Some would say it is MORE important than the video quality.
In my search for upgraded audio gear, I ran across the Comica CVM-D02 dual head lavalier microphone. It has a single 3.5mm jack with 2 microphones on it that are separated by near the plug with 8 feet of cable for each microphone.
This makes it a great option for rich sound for a single person or great sound for 2 people with one audio recording device.
It comes with a black canvas carrying case, 2 foam covers, and 2 furry covers. It also comes with a smartphone adapter and a GoPro adapter.
Definitely check this out on Amazon: http://amzn.to/2xvFkI8
