Current Setup
- Minimal NixOS configuration
- SSH access enabled
- No specialized services yet (will be added when transitioning to file server role)
Future Plans
- Configure as dedicated file server
- Set up NFS/SMB shares
- Implement storage management across NVMe slots
- Add backup and redundancy solutions
Network Configuration

Security
- SSH key-based authentication
- Standard firewall configuration
- Admin user with sudo access
Notes
This machine is currently set up with a minimal configuration to prepare for its future role as a file server. The name "limiting-factor" is fitting as it will potentially define storage boundaries and could become a bottleneck if the storage needs exceed its capabilities.
The configuration follows the lab's standard patterns and can be easily extended when the machine is ready to take on its file server responsibilities.
