+Been a bit of a crazy week or two, looking stuff up.
+This has coincided with me undertaking a project to tear down a cloud server which has been running a number of my essential services for a number of years, and move it all to a new Beelink AMD machine that now sits on my home LAN.
+Learning an awful lot about Proxmox (now not using), LXD (using), containers, Linux networking.
+
+One massive pain was to move a matrix server (using synapse).
+Decided to move it to [Dendrite](https://matrix-org.github.io/dendrite/).
+Also implemented a NFS shared drive instead of trying to get `mpd` to stream from a LXC container, which wasn't happening.
+This lot will get written up as a blog post in time.
