Nothing special just wanted to share, I’ve been working on it piece by piece for over a year now it started with a few intel nucs now it’s got five dell optiplex micros a raspberry pi and a qnap nas ts251 and a ts251+. I’ve been using it to host virtual machines and to run game servers .

I’m assuming the labels aren’t referring to the OSI model?

[-] Ke5han@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Or different layers of switch

[-] therealSoasa@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

My brain went straight to lasagne ;p

[-] dubious_asf_cat@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

nah those are just to make it easier if I need someone to turn on one of my servers when I'm not home so they can easily find what I'm talking about.

Layer 8 - humans to push buttons

[-] Camp-Complete@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Most of the difficulties I have in IT are the Layer 7 to Layer 8 interaction.

[-] sanaptic@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Always a layer 8 problem!

Could you use WOL for that?

[-] dubious_asf_cat@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I could but it’s pretty useless as I would only be using it when I’m not home and my access is so limited to my servers as I can’t do port forwarding as I’m stuck on cgnat

[-] Xkaper@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I use an OpenVPN/wireguard servers running on a Rpi3 behind the firewall, once inside the network WOL works pretty good.

[-] broogndbnc@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

would tailscale maybe help? don’t need to expose ports and could have one source machine on that network with it and send wol from there

[-] dubious_asf_cat@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

That looks really good thanks for the recommendation

[-] DJ_Mutiny@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Also check CloudFlare tunnels!
