Lychee

Introduduction

Lychee is the Linux desktop that will be used as a remote desktop. The host is on the terminals network with a IP address of x.x.x.10. The main purpose of the Virtual Machine is to allow access to a desktop inside the Home Lab virtual network on Pear, using NoMachine.

Upated Evolving Role

The Proxmox host, Pear does have a fairly large CPU and RAM available it's resources are not infinite and as Lychee will be used for remote access it will need to have a better CPU and RAM added than the regular VMs it will need to be used for other things when not in use as a remote desktop. One of those extra roles will be as a Jellyfin server instead of Walnut, when Nvidia have GPU drivers available for Linux. Another role that it has already taken on is as a N8N server, more details can be found Here. The main additional facility that will be made available to the host is the GPU, when we can we will pass the PCIE to Lychee using the same notes as were used for doing that to Walnut, some notes have been made and are available here. With the evolving role Lychee has moved to Production and has a new IP x.x.x.27

Jellyfin

Nothing to add yet as the GPU is still on Walnut so not installed Jellyfin yet. Some of the the files will be copied over in anticipation.

Docker install with N8N & NPM leading to letsencrypt wildcard SSL Cert

It was felt that N8N would be a good method of creating a few agents within the network. N8N is installed as a Docker image and we started to install on Walnut However, it quickly became apparent that we would need a separate proxy on the N8N host to terminate a SSL connection or at least it is not so easy to get N8N to terminate a SSL connection to satisfy
