A location for all my home automation projects, network testing and such.

Flashing IT Mode to H710P
Setting up Proxmox on R720
Pi-Hole and DNS for local network
- all devices have automatic DNS server given from USG
- all devices should be DHCPed, not static. only UGS and Pihole have static ip on the network
Unifi network setup
- Unable to resolve reference to ../../wiki/r-6iv9p0fu from projs/homelab/_index.mdHomelab Unifi Firewall Rules
Highspeed 2.5gbps setup
- network card
- SFP+ to Fiber for connection between R720 and Switch
  - Need SFP+ cable to connect between server and switch
- SFP+ to RJ45
  - two of these, go from Unifi Switch to unmanaged 2.5TBASE switch
  - Switch unmanaged

Tasks #

: 10gbe network setup at home for CAD work - Aruba s2500-24P might be the solution
: proxmox backup server setup to backup currenr R720 server - https://github.com/ayufan/pve-backup-server-dockerfiles

Plan is to have server run Proxmox, with TrueNAS TrueNAS will get HDD passthrough, hence Flash IT Mode Firmware to H710P all proxmox and its Get HW DVD caddy and an old SSD for Proxmox use this, because r720 cannot boot into a PCIe NVMe drive NVMe to PCI2 adapter Samsung 1tb NVMe for all VM GPU Powercable for nVidia card relatively simple installation of proxmox plug in USB with latest proxmox ISO boot up and select boot device with use UEFI boot install, follow prompts.
