We need an experienced Linux / networking engineer in Brisbane to recover and configure an existing Ubuntu ML server. The server is physically accessible, but we currently have no login credentials and no remote access. You are welcome to take the server away to work on it offsite, then return it once configured. Scope: * Safely regain administrative access to Ubuntu and reset the local password if required. * Preserve the existing server installation, data and ML environment. * Check networking, SSH and firewall configuration. * Review and back up the existing Headscale configuration. * Update Headscale to a current supported version. * Reconnect the server to our existing Headscale/Tailscale private network. * Establish reliable remote administrative access. * Return/reconnect the server and configure our router as required. * Check routing, NAT, DNS and firewall settings. * Test connectivity and confirm the setup survives restarts. * Provide brief notes on changes made. Please do not reinstall, reformat or rebuild the server without discussing it with us first. If disk encryption or another issue prevents safe access recovery, stop and advise before making destructive changes. Experience required: Ubuntu/Linux server administration, GRUB/password recovery, Headscale/Tailscale, WireGuard, SSH, routing, DNS, NAT, firewalls and router configuration. This is not a general PC support task. We need someone comfortable diagnosing and recovering an existing Linux server.

Run supplied Cat6 cable through ceiling/wall + quote further network work I’m currently tidying up and upgrading my home network and need someone experienced with data/network cabling to run a new Ethernet cable to one room. I already have a 300 m roll of Cat6 cable, so the cable will be supplied. There is existing network cabling around the house, but the current cable to this room takes an external route. I’ve recently discovered what appears to be a viable route through the ceiling/roof space and would like to use that instead. Initial job: 1. Assess the existing ceiling/roof access and identify the best route. 2. Pull my supplied Cat6 cable from the network/comms area through the ceiling space to the required room. 3. Drop the cable through the wall to the existing equipment location. 4. Terminate the room end to a proper RJ45 wall plate/keystone. 5. Terminate the comms-room end ready for my patch panel/network equipment. 6. Test the completed run I have a reasonably substantial UniFi home network and am currently reorganising the comms area so potentially more work I will supply the Cat6 cable. Please indicate whether your quote includes the wall plate/keystone, Looking for someone experienced specifically with Ethernet/data cabling.

2 Cable Runs one approx 30 m and the other approx 25 m Both from ground floor cabinet to roof cavity and across to 2 different locations and down thru timber cavity walls , one of the locations has an existing network plate

When my home was built CAT5 cabling was installed. It runs to each room from a hub under the stairs. We've never used it.
