Best way to watch youtube with OMV on RPI4

  • HI all,


    I have a RPI4 / 4GB running with OMV. I'm currently using it to run SMB drives and MiniDLNA shares and on portainer / docker I have a plex server, pihole and watchtower running.

    My Pi is also attached to the TV over HDMI which is not yet used.


    To my question:

    What is the most convenient way to watch youtube with adblockers enabled ?

    My first idea was to install an OS over KVM and a browser but this seems way to overload.


    Interested in your ideas!

    Thanks!

  • Firefox or browser of your choice in docker container:


    firefox - LinuxServer.io

    Inwin MS04 case with 315 W PSU

    ASRock B660M-ITX board

    Two port PCI-E SATA card

    16GB Kingston DDR4

    Intel 12th gen i5 12400

    Crucial M.2 1 TB OS drive

    4x4TB WD Red NAS drives + 1x4TB + 1x5TB Seagate drives - MergerFS pool

    Seagate 5TB USB drives - SnapRAID parity x 2

  • Sorry missed the HMDI bit but you can view from another device.

  • In my opinion, this should be avoided.

    The worst enemy of your own server is your own user, who uses the server to surf dubious sites and thus exposes his server and therefore his data to an avoidable risk.

    This is one of the reasons why servers are operated as headless as possible.

  • You have a Plex server so why not view YouTube on the device you watch Plex movies on? You can't run a desktop environment on top of OMV but you can run a remote desktop docker, but again this needs a second device to view the desktop on.
