Bedford#

Description#

The Bedford site is a secondary, remote location. Unlike Lafayette, there is no local NixOS server here; the site consists solely of macOS machines (a mix of Apple Silicon and older Intel Mac minis running Catalina).

Intel minis unmanaged since 2026-08-14

Both Catalina Intel Mac minis are commented out of hosts/default.nix — nixpkgs 26.11 removed x86_64-darwin, so they no longer evaluate. The machines still run, but the flake no longer manages them; they’ll either get a working x86_64-darwin pin or be retired.

Shared services such as RADIUS, LDAP, and file sharing are provided remotely by Voile over Tailscale.

Networks#

Networking at Bedford runs on Ubiquiti / UniFi gear, and the site is meshed with the Lafayette site. In practice this means the Bedford machines are reachable and manageable remotely (without depending solely on per-host Tailscale), so issues can be diagnosed and fixed from Lafayette. The per-host Tailscale tunnels remain in place on the Macs as well.

ISP Comcast (cable). The Comcast box runs as the modem; routing is handled by UniFi.
Gateway / router UniFi Express 7 (all-in-one Wi-Fi 7 gateway + console; also broadcasts the main Wi-Fi).
Cable TV / DVR A separate Comcast device, not on the network.
LAN subnet 192.168.1.0/24
Main Wi-Fi SSID Wolfhead Music — WPA2-PSK.
Guest Wi-Fi SSID Wolfhead Music Guest — open captive portal (acknowledgement only), isolated to a DMZ.
UniFi gear Express 7 gateway + U6 / U6 Mesh access points (U6 House, U6 Office) + USW Flex Mini switches (×3).
Status page https://status.inaba.network (anywhere, via Cloudflare Access) or https://status.falseblue.com (LAN/tailnet only)

This network is configured directly in UniFi rather than in this flake; no host in the flake declares Bedford network settings. (A hosts/x86_64-darwin/network.nix draft with Wake-on-LAN and DNS defaults existed until 2026-09 but was never imported by any host; it was deleted and lives only in git history.) A family-facing guide to the physical cables and ports at this site lives in Cable & Port Cheat-Sheet.
