Quick Access & Operational Notes

Quick Service Links

All services accessible via LAN or secure VPN only

Operational Notes

CURRENT FOCUS

Fleet fully onboarded: LeoneMini-1 (home automation) and LeoneMini-2 (Plex/AV1) both live, LeoneNAS-9 live as primary Alister AI platform.

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

Recently completed: LeoneNAS-9 deployed as Alister's flagship host • Alister live at alister.nleone.me • LeoneNAS-8 retained as a permanent test lab (not retired) • LeoneMini-2 online, running Plex with hardware AV1 transcode.

1. Review Caddy Rules

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

2. Expand AI Cluster

Continue development of private RAG (Alister) and local LLM capabilities, extending inference workloads to LeoneMini-2's NPU.
