In this post, we'll install Duplicati, which can regularly back up our PiCloud/PiNAS/PiWork or PiHome either to an external USB drive, locally over the network, or to the cloud.
In this tutorial, we will install Pi-Hole on Casa OS. Pi-Hole helps filter out ads at the network level, meaning it will block ads on all computers, TVs, tablets, and mobile phones connected to our home network. Additionally, it allows us to monitor which sites our devices are communicating with and gives us the option to block social media or disinformation channels for our own benefit.
This section covers how to deploy n8n, a powerful workflow automation tool, on CasaOS using Docker. You will install and configure a PostgreSQL database for reliable data storage and then deploy n8n from the CasaOS App Store. The guide walks through connecting n8n to PostgreSQL, setting essential environment variables, and performing the initial setup, including creating an admin account and securing access.
In this section, we will deploy a fully functional Nextcloud instance on CasaOS using Docker-based apps. The setup includes installing and configuring MariaDB as the database backend and Nextcloud as the self-hosted cloud platform.
In this tutorial, we will guide you through a clean installation of Pi-Cloud on a single disk, without NAS functionality. We will install CasaOS, which will manage the containers for our applications. Step by step, we will introduce useful applications such as Pi-hole, OpenHAB, Home Assistant, Akaunting, Nextcloud, and others.
