Checking out the previous effort at a File Server on Proxmox

The LXC #101 was created some time ago (debian 12, turnkey fileserver, 18.0-1).  The last time it was used was in July and I am not sure if I had tried to integrate it with #106 NextCloud; I may have.  So from here it looks like there was a try, but I need to review what steps were taken to set it up.  Also what is the current setup of the Proxmox drives: 2@1TB and 2@4TB drives in the case.

Update: I was able to get it working again and this time as well as connect LXC #101 to Tailscale.  I was then able to pull up a Z drive on my laptop.  Now I can access this Z drive from anywhere.

Possible Networking Changes in an All WiFi Environment

Since the retirement village will have only WiFi connection, there will be some things that I will need to add to make the setup easier for the future.  It seems that I will be able to talk between devices over the WiFi network, including all over the campus.  I am counting on this to be able to do some interesting network things.  So there would need to be some of the following developed:
  • WiFi Bridge - this will be needed to connect the non-WiFi equipment, like the Edgerouter-12, to the WiFi network
  • MQTT Server - this would provide an MQTT instance at the WiFi level on the ER12 router for some automation things
  • Home Assistant Server - this would provide an HA instance through the ER12 router
  • L2TP IPSec Endpoint - this would provide a connection for my laptops from anywhere in the community through the ER12 router
  • Raspberry Pi WiFi Endpoint - L2TP IPSec GRE based endpoint that isolates the Ethernet connection of the RPi from the WiFi portion which runs over the campus WiFi network; it also allows a point to point connection between RPi endpoints with multiple networking protocols running over it on whatever vlans I desire; this might possibly be implemented by an RPi Zero W/USB plug
  • Plex Server - this would provide Plex capability through the ER12 router
  • NextCloud Server - this would provide file and project services through the ER12 router
