Today I will be working on getting the first server set up, I will post its specs here as soon as I figure out what machine I will use...

Its roles will be:

TFTP Server (boot SBCs)

Central Log server

Notification server (using prowl to send messages to the phones)

Video Transcoding (lowest priority)

HDMI framegrabber (more details soon)

It will have a virtual interface sitting at 172.16.0.251 for TFTP serving so I can hard encode the address in uboot and let this be as easy to deploy as possible without interfering with standard network setups.

The base will be Ubuntu 16 Server
