Even though it’s small, the setup became complicated because of security and high availability requirements since it hosted a solar power monitoring system and some other critical vm’s. Since the system was new, there were lot of issues (hardware and software), and I need to connect direct cables and even reconfigure entire systems to get access to the server when it refuses to connect. Also, there were lockouts from my own mistakes like configuring a public IP range for one of my local subnets. (A 172. public IP range was configured to my local WAN subnet by accident but seems very efficient to confuse any remote attackers as I experienced when troubleshooting) Anyhow after several lockouts, I thought of creating a small/secure VM as a jump box to connect to the home server from anywhere and any device.</p>
