Open to any suggestion on my home lab architecture.

Goal:
Obtain a little bit of throughput when using NFS storage class since I have a 10 GB nics available on all servers ( no switch tho ) and a full SSD raid in the NAS for it only.

Scenario:
I have 1 nas with 2 10GB cards. They are configured respectively as 10.1.0.1 and 10.0.0.1 and 2 nodes running a hypervisor connected on this 10GB cards for NFS only in a direct straight cabling connection ( no switches ) . ( everything else goes through 192.168.1.x network )

My NFS definitions on worker nodes differ according to the node running since the NFS server is available on each server in different IPs.

During the inicial setup, all works because I know in advance where the worker node will run and I configure it properly but in case of moving a vm from a host to another the a crash happens.

This is my home lab setup, I totally understand a 10 GB switch will solve this issue entirely but I'm trying to find a way without one.

Open to whatever load balancer / vIP / floating IP / DNS / nfs HA / hosts file ideas. I'm looking for something simple and elegant. No need of expansion to multiple host because I'm limited to 2 hosts anyways.

Thank you all.

Update:

The nas is a xpenology and the Link agregation mode Balance-SLB doesn't seams to be working in the expected way. That said it doesn't seams to be a viable option in this case.

By any change do you have the babooshka stem? I would love to hear just her and that bass.

Adicionando caso alguém não conheça ainda... Me impressionou com a quantidade e qualidade de musica disponível. Muitas lossless flac.

Caso conheçam algo parecido por favor me indique, estou tentando montar um repositório de musica em casa.

I saw in a friend place a fiber installed by Telus which is almost invisible. I’m looking for a professional what can do the same installation for me. I have a small set of servers running with a wireless bridge (kinda unstable and slow) they are in the other side of my living room. My first thought was connecting them using a normal Ethernet cable but i have doors around so the fiber is my best bet.
Please DM me if you work on that so I can give you more details for a proper quote.
Thank you all

I've been using Xpenology dsm 6 on a HP micro server and has been rock solid so far. 5 years running and no issues whatsoever. I'm kinda motivated to move to dsm 7 because of some new functionality but I have no clue about how to migrate my configurations. Questions:

1 - Are the configurations stored somewhere in the array drives ?
2- Can I create a file with all the configuration somehow ?
3 - The configuration also gets the docker configuration for the running containers ?
4 - Any document or guidance for my adventures on this upgrade ?

Thank you for any support.

Hello there,
I'm facing a very specific problem where a team that uses Nextcloud wants to have a unified trash can. So when a member of the team delete something others can see it and recover it if necessary. It's this configuration possible ? Have you ever faced a similar configuration problem ?
Thanks for any help.

I found this link when reading the coffee news and I thought it’s very useful. It’s basically a aggregator of several services around lower mainland all tagged on a map:
