need something very basic, but very reliable to run a tailscale subnet router on - my first thought was just a VM on a proxmox box, but if that shits the bed, i can't access the LOM because the subnet router is on it!

so probably need something standalone, but i dont want it sucking too much power (or too expensive)

@decryption usff ftw
@uep @decryption Yeah, id have two usff optiplex's and have one as a cold spare (preferably with the config on there) so then you can just swap
@theraspb @uep hmmmm, i wonder if there's a way to have a HA style setup of those little guys - so if for some reason one craps out the other one takes over - maybe I can do it in the Arista switch? (ping the interface and if it stops responding, disable that port and enable the other SFF's port)
@decryption @theraspb @uep at that point, you could do a Proxmox HA cluster of 2 (or more if you really want) nodes so the Tailscale VM can fail over between them
