OPNsense was a bit of a pain to setup, with most of it being my fault and not noticing the proper isntall prompt, so every reboot would wipe all the configurtion. And annoyingly even when installed it would sometimes partially reset some of its config. The OPNsense box handles assigning IP addresses to devices connected to the server and switch as well as acting as a firewall.
The VM containing the Unifi software for running the switch was also a little but of a pain to setup, as the version of Java it ships with doesn't actually work. In the end Java 8 worked (instead of a more up to date 17, another later version may work but I went with 8 as I've seen most people use that). However once tha Java issue was sorted I can't remember any issues with the switch so that's promising.

Along with networking, I decided to setup a [TrueNAS](https://www.truenas.com/) VM for storing backups from my laptop. This did not take long to setup and with some troubleshooting of the NFS share, I could begin backing up files from my laptop. Using a combination of `rsync` to transfer the data and `fdupes` for deduplication ([ZFS deduplication](https://www.truenas.com/docs/references/zfsdeduplication/) is very intensive, way outside of the scope of the current specs of the server). The whole process took around two days but at least now I have a backup of all my files should I need to restore them. I ordered another hard drive to act as a mirror, a [WD Red NAS](https://www.westerndigital.com/en-ie/products/internal-drives/wd-red-sata-hdd) drive.
