Probably a hardware upgrade of some kind. The i5-7500 is not cutting it for Minecraft servers with mods and Arma 3 servers, single thread performance is just too slow. So I may grab an i3-14100 or similar and a motherboard and do that swap.

• Log Monitoring and Collection.
• More storage for my plex/nextcloud servers
• VLANs for my servers.
• Move to K8s
• Better service monitoring
• New server to set devpods up on

I need to transfer my plex server install from my synology NAS to an Intel nuc running plex in docker.

Part of the *arr stack, to find some obscur films and old series.

Most important: replace the raspi SD card with an SSD

General hardware: see if I find a better solution than my current Proxmox box (repurposed desktop which consumes 60w idling but is capped to 16GB Ram)

Incoming traffic: currently having a VM that runs nothing but nginx and certbot. Considering switching to another reverse proxy and, more important, get proper monitoring of the logs (e.g. IP detection, 403, etc)

Maybe add some iam like authentik

Finding a solution for selfhosting podcasts client with sync on Android and Linux… gpodder never really seemed to work, considering audiobookshelf.

Probably setting up calibre web and gethomepage

Keeping what I have and maybe optimize a bit:

• Prometheus stack
• plenty exporters
• Nextcloud
• paperless
• home assistant, mosquitto
• pihole
• vaultwarden
• selfoss

On VPS:

• Mastodon
• Bookwyrm
• some WordPress (want to move this to my homeserver as well)

1. Install Comms box in office.
2. Get Unifi switch.
3. Run Cat6A to all rooms of house.
4. Consolidate NUC and N100’s fewer devices.
5. Install 2x U6 Wall units. 6 Begin scoping Surveillance cameras. Torn between Synology and Unifi.

A ton.

1. Set up email and website hosting on a VPS to replace current setup
2. Get more solid state storage for my home server and finnish immich setup (import photos and all that)
3. Set up proper backups for the home server
4. Migrate current Unifi controller to home server
5. Local VPN server to access home assistant and other services even when travelling
6. Spend some time with my home assistant server, fine tune automations, add some more, add sensors and more controls, maybe add a wall mounted tablet for managing the thing and so on, it’ll never end and need a visit or two from electrician too
7. Better isolation for IOT things on my network. I already have separate VLAN for them without internet access, but it’s a bit incomplete project

And then “would be nice” stuff:

1. Switch Dahua NVR to something else. Current one works in a sense that it stores video, but movement tracking isn’t really perfect and the whole individual NVR box is a bit lacking both in speed and in features
2. Replace the whole home server (currently running proxmox, which in itself is fine). It’s a old server I got from work, and it does work, but it’s not reundant and it’s getting old. So something less power hungry and less noisy would be nice. It just asks some money and time, which I have neither in surplus, so we’ll see.
3. Move home assistant from a raspberry pi to the home server. Maybe add zigbee capabilities next to z-wave and wifi.

And likely a ton more which I don’t remember right now. Money and specially spare time to tinker are just lacking.

Be brave enough to test my backups

Considering my boot drive just died, backups. Also wanna get a fractal node 804 and cram tons of HDDs in it. Probably a new build with ecc as well. Perhaps transitioning current server to backup server. Also my directory structure for media is a jumbled mess of incomprehensible nonsense. I should fix that. Also I lost all my torrents that I was uploading but still have the media but can’t keep seeding after the drive failure.

Figure out why my new 10GbE NIC won’t read in my repurposed gaming rig (now server), get all my storage migrated over to Ceph, transition my services over to Proxmox hosted Talos k8s stack from my RPi-hosted k3s stack.

Harvester cluster my everything. I really want to play around with having my servers being stationary, a togo cluster (laptops, and UPS in a suit case), and PC all in the same cluster.

Right now they are all segmented rke2 clusters, but Harvester should make running vms way easier too.

I want to make an sbc nas, as I dont need much. But finding the right sbc is hard, hoping the odroid h4+ will do the trick.

Building a new, bigger, storage server using TrueNAS scale. I’ve been on CORE forever and it works well. Running out of space, though, and might as well upgrade the OS too.

Goals: keep it running

Add some redundancy to it.
