# Introduction
This is assorted notes on what could go into the MakerFLOSS lab
---
# Requirements
- A space to experiment with new software
- A place where software could be "test run" for some time
- A place where errors are not causing IP loss
- even if errors are real big !!
## More details
- Firewalled off from the production network
- Accessible from outside
- Potential for exposing services externally
---
## Constraints
- Cost conscious
- Support constant change
---
# Proposals
## Short term
A VPS in a (European) cloud with one public IP
---
## Midterm
Complement the VPS with some local hardware:
- Firewall with zones (VLANs, DNS/DHCP)
- Netbird access to services in Lab
- Switching infrastructure
- A primary "stable" Proxmox host
- A secondary experimentation machine
- A backup server
- Tunnel for external access via VPS public IP

### Basic Services in Lab
- Git: Forgejo

## Long term
replace VPS with a direct IP pinhole access
replace the "stable" FLOSS services running on VPS with modules runing on "stable" machine locally
# Design of Mid term solution
