Farm โ€” Brownsville 93-acre property infrastructure and automation

The Farm runs on a separate network (192.168.0.x) connected back to home via a dedicated Pangolin WireGuard tunnel. Farm Proxmox runs Newt as a systemd service, tunneling the entire 192.168.0.x subnet.

Pangolin Tunnel

Farm connects to the Pangolin VPS via its own Newt instance running as a systemd service on Farm Proxmox (192.168.0.191).

Check tunnel status (when on Farm network or via Proxmox SSH):

ssh root@192.168.0.191 "systemctl status newt"

If tunnel is down:

ssh root@192.168.0.191 "systemctl restart newt"

Farm resources are configured as a separate site in the Pangolin dashboard at pangolin.troglodyteconsulting.com.

Home Assistant

Home Assistant is the automation hub for the Farm โ€” smart plugs, sensors, automations, and the weather station feed.
