Pictured is KemoNine's current setup that verifies a few concepts we've wanted to get sorted for awhile now.

We now have zfs working on 1Gb RAM arm64 boards and partially sorted a VPN kill switch. These are key pieces for long-term utility of 🍭 ☁️ devices and we're glad to see the initial setups become stable.

The VPN kill switch is "reversed" from the way we'd like it to work but the overall concepts in this build are quite sound. The kill switch needs work to be "reversed" such that it defaults to the VPN and kills non-VPN traffic. Currently it allows traffic by default and you have to special case VPN traffic, non-ideal but it proves the overall concept of separated networking quite well.

We won't be releasing details of this build (it's too experimental and heavily remixed) but the core concepts will be fine tuned and make their way into our documentation over time. Mainly the zfs setup and samba / windows file sharing pieces.

We will also be working on reversing the VPN kill switch that's present in this build but it will likely take awhile to be reliable. We anticipate this being a more advanced feature / deployment than we initially hoped.

The pictured build is about $150 USD in parts (including the disk). All of the disk io and network io is run through a USB2 and the combined IO of the setup maxes out around 50-75M/s sustained. It's not perfect, but for a budget setup this is a good mini-NAS build. This setup allows you to put 2Tb of disk in a semi-redundant fashion on a LAN for bulk storage across multiple devices.

There is even enough RAM headroom for NextCloud, bitwarden_rs and SyncThing.

It has begun...
