Proxmox is what I've been farting around with. Finally cleared off enough old hard drives to play with truenas. That action forced me to move the router and modem into my office, which involved figuring out which coax outside my house went to this room. Just last night I figured out, or more honestly, found the right YouTube video, that held my hand through the process of giving truenas a static IP. Earned dopamine is nice.

Sounds like we're in similar paths. I discovered there was only 1 working coax in the house so I ended up splitting off the box and running to my garage where the modem/router is now housed.

Moving hardware and the associated dopamine hit is first class. Congrats!
