Hi there! This is a video that I made that I'm hoping can act as a beginner friendly entry level point to the world of self hosting and running a homelab. Just thought I'd share in case anyone is interested, and I hope it can be a resource to share with noobies. I don't claim to be an expert at all so I'd also love some feedback. Thanks!

There’s two problems. I’m new at setting up the network so no doubt that is mostly my problem. I’m just switching over to nfs now.

But the exfat drive that only works on plex (can’t upload from ext4) is the weird bit I don’t get. Are you storing everything on ext4 for plex? If so how did you trick plex library into seeing it?
