Core switch reboot on 11 Jul 2026 20:28:57 (UTC+00:00)
In progress
A broken proxmox node (au-prox-02) has completely broken local network connectivity, I've disconnected the node and am now rebooting the switch to fix lan.
Everything except cloud based servers will go dark for less than a minute.

This has been fully completed, now I'm just detaching and wiping the temporary 2tb drive used for the migration.
Then the physical host will go offline for 5 minutes to be moved off the workbench back into the rack.

The media library on au-cont-02 is being copied to another disk so that we can wipe au-cont-02s current bootdisk which is a single 6tb hdd.
We're wiping it to setup a new vm with its bootdisk stored on local nvme storage, attach the 6tb hdd from the original vm and also the other disk then migrate the media store back onto the 6tb hdd.
This is because having everything (os, metadata & media store) on a hdd makes the Jellyfin and Komga uis sluggish. Using local nvme storage for cache and metadata while keeping hdds for bulk media store means uis will be super snappy and media will load at a bearable speed, plus the boot disk will be small enough to backup to the vm backup server.

All services are going offline from a few hours to a day to move all of my gear into a server rack and install a ups (battery backup)
The longest task will be case swapping au-prox-01 (what most game servers and jellyfin run on) so it can be properly racked.
These changes will
- Make organization of my gear and adding new nodes significantly easier.
- Keep everything online during 1-2 hour long power outages, if any last longer than that everything will be properly shutdown.
- Prevent sudden shutdowns from power trips or outages which can lead to data corruption or hardware damage.
I'm unable to temporarily migrate any services to another computer as my core router is also being moved.
Once everything's back up you'll be able to connect to everything just like before from the same addresses and urls.
