Wee Red Masq [gav-pi7]

Disaster! The (almost) brand new motherboard in the server was intermittent - in its first two months, it locked up several times, so in order to get a replacement under RMA, I had to send it back first - so I'd have no server for many days!

That meant that it was time to order yet another Raspberry Pi for the house to take over a few services (mainly dnsmasq though).

It is currently (may even be a convenient permanent arrangement) performing the following:

• DCHP and DNS services with dnsmasq
  • Ad blocker courtesy of this tutorial from AdaFruit
• Network File System (NFS) with nfs-kernel-server
• Scanner services with saned
• SSH server
• UPnP / DLNA network media services with
  • Twonky Server (MP3s only for the kitchen jukebox and the numerous Streamiums).
• VNC server
