As you may have seen in my last post, I have a Red Hat virtual machine host running on an Intel NUC. This virtual host has a couple of functions for my virtual environment: To setup virtual machines for permanent services (e.g. proxy server, web server, Home Assistant, etc.) and to setup a virtual machine for temporary testing. It seems that more times than any others that I have use cases for setting up a temporary virtual machine for some testing.

Home Network

Before I move forward with discussing events on my network and any cool new items I discover that I may want to post on this blog, I figure I would give you an idea of what I have setup as of today as a frame of reference. One thing that I have discovered over the years, though, is that my home lab is very dynamic. The visual diagram below depicts a very basic setup of my LAN.
A while back I had purchased an Eyoyo 7 inch mini HDMI monitor to use on my physical servers on my home network. I usually setup headless configuration on my servers but I still need to be able to see what I am doing when I install the operating system (I haven’t had the time yet to configure automated install) or troubleshoot an issue. Well the monitor has been sitting on my home office desk, most of the time, doing nothing.

Expectations

If you’re here and haven’t read my About page yet, you should expect post on this site will mostly be focused on technology, most of it probably Linux related, my passion. I can’t guarantee that there will be frequent post, but I will try to fit one in every now and then outside of school (currently working on my B.S. in I.T.) and family time.
