✅ Major deployment milestone achieved:
**sleeper-service Configuration:**
- Successfully deployed flake-based NixOS on Intel Xeon file server
- Resolved ZFS mounting conflicts causing boot failures
- Implemented ZFS native mounting (/mnt/storage, /mnt/storage/media)
- Added Pi-hole DNS integration (10.0.0.14) for package resolution
- Configured systemd-networkd with static IP (10.0.0.8)
- System boots cleanly in ~1 minute with ZFS auto-mounting
**Infrastructure Updates:**
- SSH key management deployed and operational
- Network configuration with multi-tier DNS (Pi-hole, router, Google)
- NFS server configuration for network storage
- Data preservation verified: 903GB ZFS pool intact
**Technical Solutions:**
- Added nomodeset kernel parameter for graphics compatibility
- Disabled NVIDIA drivers for headless server operation
- Removed conflicting ZFS entries from hardware-configuration.nix
- Established remote deployment workflow via rsync + SSH
**Documentation:**
- Updated plan.md with deployment status and lessons learned
- Added deployment commands and troubleshooting notes
- Documented ZFS native mounting migration process
**Data Verified:**
- Films: 184GB, Series: 612GB, Audiobooks: 94GB, Music: 9.1GB, Books: 3.5GB
- Storage pool: 903GB used, 896GB available
- All media accessible via proper ZFS auto-mounting
This represents the first successful multi-machine flake deployment in the home lab infrastructure migration.

Network Configuration Modules
This directory contains networking configurations for all machines in the Home Lab.
Structure
-
common.nix- Shared networking settings used by all machines- nftables firewall enabled
- SSH access with secure defaults
- Tailscale VPN for remote access
- Basic firewall rules (SSH port 22)
-
network-<machine-name>.nix- Machine-specific networking configurations- Import
common.nixfor shared settings - Override or extend with machine-specific requirements
- Define hostname, hostId, and additional firewall ports
- Import
Current Machines
network-congenital-optimist.nix
- AMD Threadripper workstation
- ZFS hostId configuration (8425e349)
- Ready for additional service ports as needed
network-sleeper-service.nix
- Xeon file server
- Headless server configuration
- Ready for additional file sharing service ports
Usage
Each machine configuration imports its specific network module:
# In machines/<machine-name>/configuration.nix
imports = [
../../modules/network/network-<machine-name>.nix
# ... other imports
];
Adding New Machines
- Create
network-<new-machine>.nixin this directory - Import
./common.nixfor shared settings - Add machine-specific configuration (hostname, hostId, ports)
- Import the new file in the machine's
configuration.nix
Future Refactoring
The common.nix file can be extended to include more shared networking patterns as they emerge across machines. Consider moving repeated patterns here to reduce duplication.
