He just told you. Assign VLAN on each individual port on your switch. Done. If your switch is unmanaged, then you need a new switch to support VLANs.

Also -1 for netdata. I loved the analytics but it brought all of my VMs to a screeching halt. It did not seem very will optimized for the amount of data it was polling.

Yes you can. It requires those docker containers to be installed and plugged into it on a stand alone system. This is exactly what HAOS is doing behind the scenes for is users and why many stick with it.

Yeah it’s near impossible to block on streaming services because most of the ads are served up from the same DNS locations that the watchable media is hosted on.

What makes it better other than the UI? I’m weary of using it because it is developed by Russian developers.

This is the way. My setup is very similar except I only use authentik for Nextcloud. I don’t expose my “arr” services to the Internet so I don’t feel it necessary to put them behind authentik, although I could if I wanted.

Using Duo’s free 10 personal licenses is also great as it can also plug into authentik for MFA through the solution.

I backup my ESXi VMs and NAS file shares to local server storage using an encrypted Veeam job and have a copy job to a local NAS with iSCSI storage presented.

From there I have another host VM accessing that same iSCSI share uploading the encrypted backup to Backblaze. Unlimited “local” storage for $70\y? Yes please! (iSCSI appears local to Backblaze. They know and have already started they don’t care.)

I’m backing up about 4TB to them currently using this method.

I’m sure you know this, but snapshots are not backups!

Thanks for all you do!
