6			Establish docker farm	Could recast most servers as Docker containers	ChatGPT design and deployment plan built	26q1.6	26q1
5	fox anchor		HA NAS storage for Docker farm	Needed as portable HA storage solution for container instances	ChatGPT design and deployment plan built based on one set of vdisks on KVM host being presented by one of two NFS servers with coordinated failover. This will support continuous availability so as to support server maintenance operations, without doubling storage requirements.	26q1.5	26q1	26q1
3		Wort	Storage expansion	Only about 1 TB remains available and Docker farm will need at least that much T0 pool is too small at 512MB as most has been used	Expansion of T0 to 2TB NVMe likely to cost about $170 with Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2TB . T0 expansion cancelled due to drive cost explosion T1 expansion will aim for a matched pair of 4TB Seagate Seagate Iron Wolf Pro drives T3 expansion used surplut WD Red Pro	26q1.3	26q1	26q1

5			Mikrotik VPN	Vendor supported VPN solution for full remote access. Improvement over SSH and will allow iSO devices full KitsNet access remotely.	Control plane on CHR, data plane on Courvoisier	26q2.5
4		Radix	Internal IPv6 support	The LAN simply uses automatic configuration at Layer 2. Before we can implement external support for IPv6, IPv6 on the LAN needs to be cleaned up and fully implemented.	Need to setup a full internal support of IPv6 router announcements, explicit DHCP support of the ULA and delegated prefix, DUID (???) and more. This will also include implementation of RA Guard to block the Apple TV and HomePod Mini to advertising themselves as IPv6 routers. I have a deployment design and a multi-stage implementation plan supplied by ChatGPT.	26q1.4
5		Radix	External IPv6 support	Implement NAT66 and DDNS updates so that KitsNet services may be addressed vi IPV4 or IPv6.	Dependant upon Internal IPv6 support	26q2.5
