650: This Old Network

The hosts of Linux Unplugged recount their experience overhauling the network infrastructure for the wife of one of the hosts' clinic, emphasizing the challenges and solutions encountered. The team aimed to improve the clinic's Wi-Fi, backup systems, and overall network stability, initially facing hurdles with OpenWrt configurations and IP conflicts. They transitioned to using a NixOS server for routing, DNS, and DHCP, which significantly improved network performance. The team also used OpenCode, an open-source tool, to analyze logs and troubleshoot a persistent issue with a disappearing network bridge. Ultimately, they established a Nebula network for secure remote access and offsite backups.
