Diese 8 Tools machen deinen Home-Server unschlagbar!

0:00 a password safe, an ad blocker, a dashboard for the browser and not forgetting home automation, these and many other little helpers that you can use in your daily life and that you don't want to be without, we run them on our home server. If you are interested in the topic and want to know which applications we have in daily use, then you've come to the right place in this video. Stay tuned after the intro Application or also called services such as dashboard for the browser, a password safe for the whole family, an ad blocker for undisturbed surfing on the Internet

0:46 and so on. That will be the topic of this video today, but before we go into the details, here is a brief insight into the structural division that we have chosen for ourselves. The services that we want to talk about here are running on our Proxmox virtualization server Video description you are welcome to take a look at the details again. One advantage of Proxmox as a virtualization platform is that I can, for example, provide individual services in different countries with their own IP addresses and do not have to laboriously allow access via firewall rules and of course that the applications run in individual LXC containers and

1:32 can therefore be handled confidently, in some cases using Docker, yes and that brings us to the first category of services, namely the so-called basics and under basics As already mentioned, I mean, for example, the LXC Container Docker itself or also Portainer or the Portainer Agent, so these basic apps are necessary for the installation and management of the services that I want to operate for the simplified management of Docker containers and because of the improved clarity, we have also installed a Portainer or porta agent for each Docker installation, which are then of course networked with one another and where I can see everything in one picture. In the next

2:20 category we have the infrastructure, which all belong to the infrastructure Services, for example, that have to do with the network infrastructure, in our case these would be, for example , the Engine Dashboards created for the respective users and for

3:09 me that is the main advantage of Homar over Heimdal and other dashboards. I can manage several dashboards with one installation and assign them accordingly. My personal dashboard gives me a very good overview of the existing services, some even with ping. Based on that, I have switched off the Uptime Kuma, for example um yes, back to the dashboard, this dashboard actually simplifies my daily handling and access to all the apps that I need so permanently. I can also create my own structure clusters like I did here, for example, with the server infrastructure area or

3:59 the Green Energy area. Of course, the dashboard contains more than just the self-hosted services. Everything that is in daily use can be found here, from the calendar to the Unify Controller to the web services of the PV system. The next service in our top category is of course the password Safe Fold Warden, which enabled different locked safes for individual family members as well as shared vault areas and all of this as either a standalone app under Windows or as an add-on in the browser itself or as a mobile app under iOS or Android and Fold Warden is an independent implementation of the

4:48 Bitwen protocol that you may be better known to, but is supposed to use significantly less resources, so the apps and add-ons from Bitwarden that we use are actually best suited for such a virtualization platform, but they rely on the Fulten installation without any problems, so there's that no compatibility problems yes let's get to the area of ​​home automation uh here I have my IO Broker installation, for example, which collects and processes data from our Hormatic or from external devices like our Shellys or from our PV system accordingly for the storage of data in order to create a history I have set up a Maria DB here and that

5:33 actually fits and what I do with IO Broker uh I've already made a separate video about that if you're interested you're welcome to take a look at it again I'm happy to link it here at the top of the video or at the bottom of the video description. Just take a look and then you'll have the details. Home automation also includes the intelligent vehicle charging management IVC, with which we can optimally and intelligently charge our PV surplus, including the house battery, into our plug-in hybrids. I've already made a video about this. I'll also be happy to link it to you at the top of the video or at the bottom of the video description and if you're interested, take a look at it. There are a lot of interesting details in there Another very important component, namely the ad blocker Edgard,

6:22 we have now installed this here on our server on two instances or with two instances, once for our normal LAN and WLAN and another, a second instance for our children's network with appropriately adjusted settings, so it is more child-friendly how and why I divided the LAN and WLAN into a virtual network area. I have also made a video about this if you are interested or would like to know the details um at the top of the video itself or below in the video description there is a detailed explanation of which individual vladines I have set up here accordingly. Under the um next point I would actually like

7:08 to summarize two applications instead of one that are regularly helpful to me in everyday life and also here as a content creator. That is the drawing tool Draw IiO with which I can create smaller drawings or graphics that I can then use here for you or also store accordingly for myself for understanding or thought support um and that brings us to the right term, namely the topic of thought support Support for thoughts in the direction of the Doku Wiki, in which I summarize my knowledge in quotation marks for all sorts of topics, whether it's PV servers or network technology, so to speak as a knowledge database. I may not be able to remember one or two things in three months due to the settings, and of course this is ideal for simply noting down certain things there and using them as a knowledge database, so to speak. Yes, and

7:58 lastly in the top 8 in quotation marks, I would of course also like to list the Engine Um, which we use and access every day, converts cryptic IP and port addresses into sensible, comprehensible names or URLs and, if necessary, also provides them with Letkrypt certificates, so that the whole topic of agreeing to browser exceptions is no longer necessary, yes, and that was actually the top 8 on our Homesver and I'm pretty sure that the top 8 will perhaps also be a top 10 in the future , that we will do more there. Currently, I have an accounting program in mind in front of Invoice and Co somehow something and a notification service,

8:49 for example something like Gotify, um so I generally have more of more here Third-party manufacturers Sorry from other third-party applications, I'm moving a little more towards a self-hosted solution. If you still miss services like Paperless Calendar Mail and so on, which were definitely visible on my dashboard, yes, that's right, of course we also have this service, but they don't run on our Proxmox Home Server but are part of our Synology world in the Homelab for a variety of reasons. I've already made a video about the application favorites at Syology. I'll be happy to link it to you here in the video or also Below in the video description if you are interested in the details of what we did there, you are of course welcome

9:35 to watch it again. If you are interested in what our Homelab is called, what the network structure looks like from Unify to Proxmox to Syology, how we keep our data in our own cloud, how we synchronize our PCs and secure all systems, then feel free to write it to me in the comments below then I would be happy to make another separate video about it. Yes, I would be happy about a like on the video. You are of course also welcome to subscribe to the channel and if you press the bell then you will of course always be informed when I do something new here on this channel.

10:24 other than that, I don't have much left to say but thank you very much for watching and I would be happy to come back here at Haus und Technik, your channel for technology around the house, thank you very much and goodbye
