5 Reasons LXC Containers Crush Virtual Machines in Proxmox youtu.be/k10966gcusU?si=SvwJ…

Docker on Proxmox LXC 🚀 The Better Way (2026 Updated Guide) youtu.be/5RZJrAba0-A

Want rock-solid reliability for your Proxmox system? Installing it on a ZFS RAID 1 mirror is a top strategy for data integrity. youtube.com/watch?v=2nIPY7D-… #proxmox #homelab #zfs

Forget custom DNS for your new Docker LXC on Proxmox. For initial setup, just pick the defaults! Simplifies getting your container up & running fast. youtube.com/watch?v=-ZSQdJ62… #homelab #docker #proxmox

When setting up Traefik middlewares, don't sweat the YAML file name! What's *inside* the file defines your middleware, not the file name itself. Super common confusion in the homelab. youtube.com/watch?v=SCKALXpr… #homelab #traefik #docker

Exposing Portainer's port 9000 internally is useful, but a crucial homelab security tip: NEVER forward it from your router to your Docker host. Big risk! youtube.com/watch?v=THuLgGwq… #homelab #docker #selfhosted

Did you know DeUnhealth might fail to restart qBittorrent after a Gluetun VPN reconnect? It's due to the qBittorrent container ID changing. Known Docker limitation for now. youtube.com/watch?v=oY1U_Hte… #homelab #docker #containers

Setting up Plex with Docker Compose and secrets? Instead of hardcoding, I create a `plex_claim_token` file in `/secrets` and reference it with `include`. youtube.com/watch?v=VbNABbeZ… #homelab #docker #plex

Setting up Authentik in your homelab? You *need* Redis and PostgreSQL first. Deployarr makes it clear: skip them and you'll face warnings. Save yourself the headache! youtube.com/watch?v=GoUmJAe1… #homelab #docker #selfhosted

Need Docker Compose files for your Authentik or Traefik setup? Deployarr's GitHub repo has a dedicated 'compose' folder – a fantastic resource for your homelab! youtube.com/watch?v=GoUmJAe1… #homelab #docker #selfhosted

Hey Docker Compose users! Heard the 'version' tag at the top of your YAML isn't needed anymore? It's true! This recent change simplifies config for many. Still using it? youtube.com/watch?v=THuLgGwq… #docker #homelab #selfhosted

Protecting homelab services doesn't mean *only* Authelia. Google OAuth with Traefik Forward Auth is a powerful, flexible alternative many overlook. I use both! youtube.com/watch?v=SCKALXpr… #homelab #selfhosted #docker

Installing Windows 11 on Proxmox? Tiny11 offers a significantly bloat-free experience: no Co-Pilot, weather, or forced Microsoft account. Great for a lean VM. youtube.com/watch?v=FP2NcDia… #homelab #proxmox #windows11

When hashing Authelia passwords, don't copy the whole output! Grab just the hash from the '$' symbol onwards for your users file. Simple detail, big difference in your Docker setup. youtube.com/watch?v=UIq8PLZH… #Authelia #Docker #Homelab
