In this video we will be installing Fedora Server edition on this older ThinkPad laptop and using it as a media server, docker dashboard, and Microsoft code server.

Practical IT with Jeremy Leik says:

Please call the "Fedora Default Dashboard" what it is. It's called Cockpit.and it's available for other Linux distributions as well including Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, Alma and Rocky just to name a few.

Cockpit is incredibly useful regardless of Linux distro.

VNM _ says:

can someone give me more examples I can do with a laptop server at home, how I could use it and why? I'm a newbie and I have an old laptop that I may use it like this. Thank you.

Jumei Sa says:

never recommend running Linux on laptops unless a laptop is specifically designed for Linux and and system updates, especially kernel and driver updates won't break it.

Phillip Dudley says:

If you install the Container Management tools for Fedora Server, you get Podman. Podman is a drop-in replacement for Docker and is more closely aligned with Kubernetes.

Tony Stark says:

Wait, HP Mini 110? I had one. Oh, the memories… The bad one…

Roberto Fuentes Gomez says:

I had a problem with filezilla " open for write: permission denied" so i changed the permissions of the folder to 777. Any other solutions for this? Ty.

Jeroboam says:

Don't take it the wrong way but I wish you would take a breath between sentences. You never stop talking it's kind of overwhelming.

Davo CC says:

I'd even take this a step further – I repaired a laptop and had leftover bits (Thinkpad T420) but it had no functional keyboard or screen (just a dock and the base, memory, HDD, etc.). So I set it up as a headless server but it's off most of the time – I wake it with a WoL packet and use it to perform compression and other tasks (it has a twin-core i5), I then suspend it by sending an MQTT packet that triggers a script to suspend the system. This method lets me maintain use of power powered systems most of the time (Pis) and only firing it up when a task is in need of more beef. It also reduces power consumption to only one kidney per month being sold to the power company.

This is not e-waste!

It's Eee-waste!

Bernard du Toit says:

This is really inspiring content, I love how you touched on actually good examples of docker containers. Also I didn't know Fedora Server was so useful, I've dabbed around in Lubuntu on a light weight desktop PC, but seems like I should be using Fedora Server rather, just the cool HTML Dashboard is so much easier to use than trying to remember how to Putty in to my server everytime I wanted to do something. I don't use Linux a lot so have to re-learn it almost everytime.

Ruben de León says:

Hey! I have that first hp mini running lubuntu since her beggining and it works better that any tablet from the same era! For mail and light text editing is awesome. It may be a piece of garbage but it's my lovely piece of garbage! 🤣😅😏😃😁😁

Nice video tough. 😏👌😁

Fakhry H. Tatanaki says:

One of my younger siblings had a school-issued Android tablet (mid-range arm64 Samsung tablet) , and it ended up sitting in a drawer when no longer needed, I decided to root it, install an Alpine Linux chroot environment so I can use it as a headless Linux server. The battery life can last more than a full day for lightweight server tasks 😀

WES TON says:

I was in a class ran by a guy from Rackspace who literally did this out of his home, and got bought and given a job, by Rackspace. There’s money in it!

Lampe2020 says:

13:28 I use the FTP client built into `nemo` because it can edit files directly on the server without needing to save a local copy. It uses the fact that in Linux almost everything has a local filesystem path and edits the files from there. (This avoids the explicit reupload requirement and lets me see the results seconds after hitting Ctrl+S in the software I use to edit the files)

Aboubaker Nedjimi says:

I have a java project completed and compiled for my business, is it best to deploy it into yacht or just directly to fedora server?

Ezra says:

I have the same crap hp mini laptop, I'm just not a fan of having this probably extremely poor energy efficient machine 24/7 to run once a day automations

Randy Braun says:

It makes me sad whenever I hear anyone say, "You're gonna need a USB." A USB what? A printer is a USB. I have a serial cable that is a USB. My keyboard and mouse are a USB. Calling anything "a USB" is nonsense. A flash drive is not "a USB". It is a flash drive. USB is the name of a set of technology. Not the name of a device.

Carlos Arias says:

how you download the movies, where is your source ? thank you grat video i do this into mi old toshiba laptop and was amazing

Rough Poster says:

is no one gonna to notice that how he is wearing Nice tutorials headphone?(Rip Gramr)

Anonymous404 says:

HUGE thanks for this video once again. I dug up an old 2008 dell and spun up Fedora 36. Unfortunately it has a Broadcom wifi adapter, which only uses proprietary drivers. Took me a few days, but now that I have them, everything is working great! (albeit very slowly, considering it has an intel Atom cpu lol). I'm putting all my music on here, maybe also set up transmission or pi hole

Harpoon says:

can you do a tutorial on MineOS using yacht?

S8498 says:

I used to use an Asus E-PC (or whatever it was called) and it was awesome. Wasn't powerful at all, but did the basics for a server (Samba, website etc) just fine.

_mortem says:

What can i use a personal server for?

Ricardo says:

great video ma man. thank you

One Two says:

Those little HPs struggled with 360p videos. Some versions came with a single core processor. The dual core was shit too.

Josue Saul Jasso Jimenez says:
