Operational Notes

CURRENT FOCUS

Deploying LeoneNAS-9 as primary Alister AI + storage platform. Migrating workloads from retiring SuperMicro (LeoneNAS-8).

POWER & COOLING

All critical systems on APC UPS + Line-R conditioned power. Estimated idle draw for core stack is moderate; full AI load on LeoneNAS-9 ~90W.

ACCESS POLICY

This page and all services are intended for personal / authorized use only. External access requires VPN or explicit temporary credentials.

Planned Migrations & Next Steps

1. Retire SuperMicro

Decommission LeoneNAS-8 after migrating critical TrueNAS Scale workloads and services.

2. Deploy LeoneNAS9

Install Lexar NVMe + 4× Seagate Exos 26TB + NVIDIA A2 GPU. Primary Alister platform.

3. Stabilize TrueNAS Scale

Complete GPU boot recovery, LACP bonding, and clean migration to new hardware.

4. Split Services

Balance load between LeoneNAS-7 (media) and LeoneNAS-9 (AI + storage).

5. Review Caddy Rules

Ensure clean reverse proxy configuration for all self-hosted services and subdomains.

6. Expand AI Cluster

Continue development of private RAG (Alister) and local LLM capabilities across nodes.
