  • Recommendation: Use SlimBUP for new MCP server container

Network

  • All containers get DHCP IPs from 192.168.1.0/24
  • Tailscale VPN available for remote access

📝 INFRASTRUCTURE NOTES

Strengths

  1. ✅ Well-organized with clear purpose for each container
  2. ✅ Solid external access via Cloudflare Tunnel (zero-trust)
  3. ✅ Tailscale VPN for secure remote management
  4. ✅ WireGuard VPN for additional remote access
  5. ✅ Proper container separation (unprivileged where possible)
  6. ✅ Hardware transcoding enabled for Plex
  7. ✅ SSH access working with key-based auth

Observations

  1. ⚠️ No ngrok installed - You'll need to install this for MCP server public access
  2. ⚠️ LXC 104 & 105 are stopped (60 GB + 32 GB storage sitting idle)
  3. ⚠️ SlimBUP storage is 68% full - monitor this
  4. ⚠️ Using 1.3 GB swap (might indicate occasional memory pressure)

Recommendations for MCP Server

  1. Create LXC 106 for your MCP Python server
    • CPU: 2 cores
    • RAM: 2048 MB
    • Disk: 8-16 GB (SlimBUP or local-lvm)
    • Network: DHCP on vmbr0
  2. Install ngrok inside the container
  3. Alternative: Reuse LXC 104 or 105 (currently stopped)
  4. Public access options:
    • ngrok tunnel (easiest, free tier sufficient)
    • Add route to existing Cloudflare Tunnel
    • Port forwarding (less secure)

✅ SUMMARY

You have full situational awareness. Your infrastructure is:

  • 4 active containers serving different purposes
  • 2 stopped containers available for reuse
  • Solid network setup with multiple access methods (Tailscale, WireGuard, Cloudflare)
  • Sufficient resources to run an MCP server
  • SSH access configured and working

Next Steps for MCP Server Deployment:

  1. Create new LXC 106 (or reuse 104/105)
  2. Install Python + MCP dependencies
  3. Install and configure ngrok
  4. Set up systemd service
  5. Test with OpenAI Agent Builder

Ready to proceed with MCP server setup whenever you want! 🚀
