Container Rebalancing** **Problem:** OMV800 overloaded (19 containers), fedora underutilized (1 container) **Solution:** ```yaml # Move from OMV800 to fedora (Intel N95, 16GB RAM): - vikunja: Task management - adguard-home: DNS filtering - paperless-ai: AI processing - redis: Distributed caching # Expected Impact: - OMV800: 25% load reduction - fedora: Efficient resource utilization - Better service isolation ``` #### **2. Fix Unhealthy Services** **Problem:** Paperless-NGX unhealthy, PostgreSQL restarting **Solution:** ```bash # Immediate fixes docker-compose logs paperless-ngx # Investigate errors docker system prune -f # Clean up resources docker-compose restart postgres # Reset database connections docker volume ls | grep -E '(orphaned|dangling)' # Clean volumes ``` #### **3. Security Hardening** **Problem:** SSH root enabled, firewalls inactive **Solution:** ```bash # Disable SSH root (OMV800 & raspberrypi) sudo sed -i 's/PermitRootLogin yes/PermitRootLogin no/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config sudo systemctl restart ssh # Enable UFW on Ubuntu hosts sudo ufw enable sudo ufw default deny incoming sudo ufw allow ssh sudo ufw allow from 192.168.50.0/24 # Local network access ``` ### **🚀 MEDIUM-TERM ENHANCEMENTS (Month 1)** #### **4.
