Proxmox Based Home Lab - Build Your Own Home Server!

Learn about Proxmox hypervisor, how to install it, how to run other operating systems or ARR stack / ARR apps on it

What you'll learn

What is Proxmox? How to install Proxmox?

How to run other operating systems on Proxmox hypervisor?

What is an LXC container? How does it work exactly?

How to deploy ARR stack / ARR apps on Proxmox?

Requirements

No programming or other experience required - we will build everything from scratch.

Description

Welcome to our Proxmox training.This course is intended for people who either already have home server or want to start building one.You don't need previous experience, in this course we will go through the processes step-by-step, so you can create your own Proxmox VE based Home Lab!You will learn what is Proxmox hypervisor, we will go through step-by-step installation process, you will also see how to install other operating systems ( like Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Arch Linux etc ) on top of Proxmox.You will see how you can turn your Proxmox into home media server by deploying so called ARR stack (ARR apps) which include Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, qBittorrent, Jellyfin, Gluetun VPN and more.We will have fun creating and deploying background removal application and we will see how to bind network attached storage to our Proxmox.Some of the subjects covered by this training:Proxmox installation - step-by-step tutorial for beginnersHow to install Ubuntu on ProxmoxArch Linux and Linux Mint installation processWhat is LXC container exactly? How does it work? How does it differ from Virtual Machine?Proxmox VE Helper Scripts - install anything with 1 command !!!Install Windows … in a docker container !Bind mount NAS (CIFS/SMB/NFS) shares to Unprivileged LXC Proxmox containerRead AND WRITE from unprivileged LXC container to Proxmox SMB / NFS / CIFS / NAS shareDeploy ARR stack with qBittorrent and Jellyfin using just 1 command!Proxmox vlan configuration (vlan aware Proxmox) and more about linux bridge taggingARR stack with Gluetun VPN (how to build your own docker-compose.yml file)Build background remover app ! (using docker container)and more !I hope you will like it, so let's get started :)
