Great post, and interesting setup - harkens to days of old, when this was simply how things were done in the first place - but one question that I have, apropos:

What is your network connectivity like for this setup? Presumably you operate in a building capable of giving you fiber, with a fixed IP, or something like that?

Gigabit fiber with static IP for about 40 EUR per month. I plan to make it redundant with a second gigabit fiber connection from a different provider but haven’t done that yet.

That is not really a rarity these days. I have symmetrical gigabit fibre with a fixed IP here in a Spanish farmhouse 45 minutes from the nearest population centre
