In this video I'm going to go through some different operating systems you can choose from when setting up your first #homelab #mediacenter . There's beginner friendly ones, there's a little bit more advanced, and then there's more expert. It all depends on what your needs are and what your appetite for getting your hands dirty when your setting up a home server.

Jaxx ❌Off-topic I know but I’m inquiring if anybody knows of an email service to use during development for a proof of concept. Most services will not allow even test emails over 50 KB. Is it better just to set up your own email server at home?

Fred MorrisonBig fan of unraid. It lets me play with a bunch of stuff while not having to be an expert.
Creator
Sep 7, 2025Same, Its powerful but I would say beginner friendly.
Dylan RaineyI'd love to see a use case example video for different homelab stuff
Creator
Sep 7, 2025Yeah, I can go through my unraid, show you what I have got locally.

Connor Canvessdo i need casa os if im using a windows pc for my media server?
user8355054584137can I just say a huge thank you for your videos. These are awesome and have been so helpful. I’ve been building a homelab (without knowing that’s what it’s called) for the past few months and followed your plex tutorial, and it was easy as hell. You’re amazing. Keep it up!

Wurstwasserso Happy since I switched to flatcar Linux. I just want containers and don't have to worry about the underlying os stuff.
Creator
Sep 3, 2025So many great Linux distro!

user3083543512126Casa Os is top !
JayInteresting! I thought proxmox is “bare metal”? If I installed proxmox with a Linux VM… is it a turn-bare-key? 😆

Creator
Sep 2, 2025Well Proxmox has vm's/docker, storage and more supported out of the gate so I'd call it turnkey, B/M is more liek a raw linux you then dev onto it.
1
ShaikoCalling Proxmox "plug and pray" is misleading 😳 Its a production grade hypervisor built on Debian with KVM and LXC. It sure can do docker but it does not come preinstaled (you can drop it in a lxc though).
viral.agentRuntipi? Should I move from?
Creator
Sep 2, 2025oh, I didn't know of Runpi, this looks really good.
1
viral.agentWould be great to see you using it and comparing it to the other solutions you already covered and maybe you can do more complex stuff with it so we can learn as well 💪👌

2
Creator
Sep 1, 2025Any reason youre using Parallels over UTM?
1
AnphantJust wanted to rule out potential compatibility issues and I've used it in the past on the same macbook
Creator
Sep 1, 2025Go whith what you know. If it works!

Meh 🫤Can I say. Why don’t use docker desktop. As this will help contain all of these program in Linux’s or any other
Creator
Sep 1, 2025For a beginner Docker desktop could be a bit much, but yeah DD is great.
1
Meh 🫤Understandable. However it works great as a home lab and it’s more secure.
ArthurWhen I was a kid there was a local community burning and distributing Ubuntu on CDs. That was before broadband was accessible for me. Remember playing with ubuntu. So that’s my choice now.
Creator
Sep 1, 2025Thats awesome.
