Low-hanging fruit that **fit the symmetry aesthetic** and **cost ≤ 1 extra binary / 1 config file each**: 1. NTP + PTP (time symmetry) ``` apt install chrony echo "allow 10.0.0.0/16" >> /etc/chrony/chrony.conf systemctl enable --now chrony ``` Clients in every subnet now get the *same* stratum-1 time source (`ns.infra.mycorp.net`). 2. Central syslog + logrotate (single pane) ``` apt install rsyslog echo '*.info @@ns.infra.mycorp.net:514' >> /etc/rsyslog.d/10-remote.conf systemctl restart rsyslog ``` One file, logs flow to the host itself—no extra daemons. 3. mDNS repeater (Bonjour across VLANs) ``` apt install avahi-daemon avahi-utils sed -i 's/#enable-reflector=no/enable-reflector=yes/' /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf systemctl enable --now avahi-daemon ``` Ensures `printer-01.lan.mycorp.net` is discoverable from `dmz.mycorp.net`. 4. TFTP/PXE “boot farm” (one-line DHCP option) Add to `/etc/dnsmasq.d/30-pxe.conf`: ``` dhcp-option=66,10.0.255.1 # TFTP server dhcp-option=67,pxelinux.0 ``` Net-install any OS from the same box. 5. WireGuard hub (one interface, one key pair) ``` apt install wireguard wg genkey | tee /etc/wireguard/wg0.key | wg pubkey > /etc/wireguard/wg0.pub ``` Tunnel address: `10.254.0.0/24` (mirrors `10.0.x.0/24` pattern). Add peer configs via a **single** `/etc/wireguard/wg0.conf`. 6. Prometheus node exporter (metrics symmetry) ``` apt install prometheus-node-exporter systemctl enable --now prometheus-node-exporter ``` Metrics reachable at `http://ns.infra.mycorp.net:9100/metrics`. Pick **any two** without breaking the “single-box, single-file” rule.
