YouTubers focused on self-hosted solutions reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thorntech · 2023-09-26 16:06 Does anyone have favorite YouTubers they watch for content related to self-hosted solutions? We want to find a few to partner with to promote self-hosted file-sharing products and are especially interested in who this group pays attention to. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hamza9575 · 2023-09-26 16:26 Wendell from Leveonetech. He has own datacenter i think. Another one that doesnt do self hosted content but has his own self hosting datacenter is LinusTechTips who has the Floatplane service. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Vi__S · 2023-09-26 16:58 Look for channels which talk about raspberry pis for example. Most of them venture into selfhosted topics, proxmox, docker etc. Of the top of my hat, there is a German one called "Raspberry Pi Cloud". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- brock0124 · 2023-09-26 17:11 TechnoTim, Christian Lempa, Network Chuck ---------------------------------------------------------------------- darklord3_ · 2023-09-26 18:02 Network Chuck is super surface level imo, he kinda just hops on whatever hype train is around atm. He's got some good stuff, but some questionable stuff. Same with Christian, the last 4 or 5 videos have literally all been sponsored showcases. Tim is great! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Pesfreak92 · 2023-09-26 18:07 Craft Computing, Techno Tim, Network Chuck, Chris Titus Tech ---------------------------------------------------------------------- brock0124 · 2023-09-26 18:07 I can see that. I don’t watch regularly, just when I’m searching out a topic. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- spicybenis · 2023-09-26 18:30 Apalrd's Adventures. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kflott · 2023-09-26 18:43 In no particular order, these are all great: DB Tech, TechnoTim, Raid Owl, Jeff Geerling,Lawrence Systems ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CrispyBegs · 2023-09-26 18:58 https://www.youtube.com/@DBTechYT/videos ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EndlessHiway · 2023-09-26 19:03 Awesome Opensource is a great resource for self hosting. His videos go step by step and there are usually show notes to go by to help you, instead of having to keep searching the videos. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- certifiablygeek · 2023-09-26 19:04 https://www.youtube.com/@AwesomeOpenSource ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bobbler23 · 2023-09-26 19:54 Craft is so good - one of my favourite ---------------------------------------------------------------------- k_blubb · 2023-09-26 20:00 as a german: can‘t listen to him for more than 30s. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- k_blubb · 2023-09-26 20:02 take network chuck. his audience is used to jump hype trains ---------------------------------------------------------------------- athornfam2 · 2023-09-26 20:06 every networkchuck video: You need to learn *insert vendor/service* NOW! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thorntech · 2023-09-26 20:09 Thanks so much for all the replies, everyone! This is super helpful and much appreciated. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- VirtualDenzel · 2023-09-26 20:11 Though network chuck is a personality. He can drive you nuts in his videos. Its like the quin69 ofnetworking ---------------------------------------------------------------------- shadowedfox · 2023-09-26 20:17 This. Honestly I’d give him a pass, seems like he waits for someone to make a video then just copies it with a “click bait” title. According to him you need every self hosted option out there. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- trexxeon · 2023-09-26 20:19 Can’t stand him and his fake energy ---------------------------------------------------------------------- athornfam2 · 2023-09-26 20:21 Can’t either… cringe worthy content with click bait titles ---------------------------------------------------------------------- suitcasecalling · 2023-09-26 20:25 network chuck sucks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- k_blubb · 2023-09-26 21:03 yeah, he made up a quite annoying (subjective) character for his show ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jesenican2 · 2023-09-26 21:37 DB Tech, Novaspirit Tech ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hhhyyu · 2023-09-26 21:43 Jim's Garage ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ridyxx · 2023-09-26 21:45 Wolfgang‘s Channel ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BCIT_Richard · 2023-09-26 21:57 Yeah, I think the topics he covers are awesome, but his personality is a bit much to keep me concentrated. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BCIT_Richard · 2023-09-26 21:58 I feel like SpaceInvanderOne deserves an honorable mention. Though afaik his contents mostly focuses on Unraid, Portainer isn't that dissimilar as far as functionality goes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sebasdt · 2023-09-26 22:16 Add Jim's garage, electronic wizardry,apalrd adventures and Christian lempa to the list. They are kinda underdogs when it comes to explaining. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sebasdt · 2023-09-26 22:18 Christian did make a video about explaining why and what is gonna change.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sebasdt · 2023-09-26 22:19 Jim's Garage is new and rising! What an awesome lad that is ---------------------------------------------------------------------- pabskamai · 2023-09-26 22:29 Level 1 tech ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ejz9 · 2023-09-26 22:33 Raid owl ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RedditNotFreeSpeech · 2023-09-26 23:28 This guys project isn't opensource it seems. You pay them ~$42/month to selfhost their product. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EndlessHiway · 2023-09-26 23:31 Not sure what you are talking about. I was referring to a YouTube channel. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RedditNotFreeSpeech · 2023-09-26 23:35 Ok is pimping a non open source product. It would surprise me if a channel called awesome opensource would review it ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EndlessHiway · 2023-09-26 23:42 Sorry about your head injury. Get well soon. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CardboardLambo · 2023-09-27 00:06 Network Chuck is really geared towards beginners. Heck, I even got started on watching his videos. He's got a lot of clickbait titles and stuff. But honestly, if it gets people excited about this hobby, I don't see a problem with it. Especially if it gets the younger crowd interested. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RedditNotFreeSpeech · 2023-09-27 00:18 No worries sir. My head injury is nothing compared to your parents being cousins. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- cerealonmytie · 2023-09-27 00:39 The goat ---------------------------------------------------------------------- maximus459 · 2023-09-27 01:21 Have you hacked the YouTube algorithm today? .....ethically, of course. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EndlessHiway · 2023-09-27 01:52 Sad little boy aren't you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- darklord3_ · 2023-09-27 02:12 Yep, i also got started with him and grew past it. He defo jumps on clickbait stuff, but if it draws people in, they'll eventually graduate, too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mrmclabber · 2023-09-27 03:01 Ltt. lol ---------------------------------------------------------------------- unisasquatch · 2023-09-27 03:22 I've recommended him for his knowledge, but I caution "he's somebody I would never choose to be friends with" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- T3a_Rex · 2023-09-27 03:41 for double the cringe: “hack the insert it term!” Did you hack the network bits!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- T3a_Rex · 2023-09-27 03:41 A few years ago he was peak and his videos were informative and entertaining. Now I’ve unsubscribed :\ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- T3a_Rex · 2023-09-27 03:42 The energy efficient goat ---------------------------------------------------------------------- T3a_Rex · 2023-09-27 03:43 Add Jeff Geerling. His adventures with red shirt jeff and their radio loving dad are amazing! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- djgizmo · 2023-09-27 03:46 A frickin men. Every since he sold his soul, every video is a sponsor for big company xyz. The multi cam is fuckin stupid. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- djgizmo · 2023-09-27 03:47 A++. Without SpaceIncaderOne, many people would never have gone deep with unraid. Thanks to him, I have ZFS working like a charm. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GolDNenex · 2023-09-27 04:58 Jeff Geerling ---------------------------------------------------------------------- crazedizzled · 2023-09-27 05:07 There it is. Had to scroll way too far ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Skotticus · 2023-09-27 05:32 Everything Smart Home — his focus is more on the home automation niche of self-hosting, but he occasionally does videos about the broader topic. Spaceinvader One and IBRACORP — mostly, but not exclusively unraid stuff, but if you're gonna be snobbish about that you'll miss very solid and well-explained tutorials on a broad array of services, apps, and topics. Also unraid is great and has a far better community than any other OS/NAS/Linux community I've ever encountered. Finally, someone who deserves *way* more exposure for being pretty much the only person making sensible and helpful content about Authentik: Cooptonian. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 93simoon · 2023-09-27 05:52 Novaspirit tech ---------------------------------------------------------------------- utopiah · 2023-09-27 09:07 Ideally they'd be PeerTubers then... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- decstation · 2023-09-27 09:33 He seems to do less install videos these days. I was not a fan of his Proxmox 8.0 install video. Not up to his usual standards. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TheElectroPrince · 2023-09-27 10:44 Hardware Haven, Jeff Geerling, ServeTheHome ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RannwokKarr · 2023-09-27 11:05 sass drew, smaller/newer channel but focused on homelab/selfhosting ---------------------------------------------------------------------- eroc1990 · 2023-09-27 12:33 Adding [Alex Kretzschmar's channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh66aXZ_hqiT7au6Nwb8p3Q) (AKA IronicBadger) to this list. He's one of the hosts of Jupiter Broadcasting's Self-Hosted podcast and recently opened a YouTube channel for SH related things. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dry-Hovercraft-4952 · 2023-09-27 13:09 That is an excellent channel. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- iAsk101 · 2023-09-27 13:52 The Linux Experiment ---------------------------------------------------------------------- maximus459 · 2023-09-27 14:42 Ya'll must be real fun in parties.. 🥲 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SonaMidorFeed · 2023-09-27 15:51 \+1 for Lawrence Systems. Really appreciate their topics on TrueNAS and PFSense/Ubiquiti. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- wtheory314 · 2023-09-27 16:47 I enjoy DB Tech, I learned a lot from him in the beginning. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LavaCreeperBOSSB · 2023-09-27 20:41 Jeff Geerling, Network Chuck ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AudioTechYo · 2023-09-27 23:06 How does anyone stand Network Chuck... I cannot get through 2 min of him acting like a clown.
