I've been running Proxmox VE on my home lab server for a while, and most recently on a Lenovo M93p Tiny. I'm using the older hard drive that was in the M72 Tiny that I upgraded from, and performance wasn't as good as I'd like.

After getting a Ubiquiti UniFi PoE (Power over Ethernet) switch I had been looking to see what else I can power directly from the switch to reduce cabling. In addition to reducing cabling, the other advantage of PoE powered equipment is that I can remotely power cycle the device.

At the time we set up the TV system and media center in the RV, we were most familiar with and used MythTV as our media center at home. MythTV is a digital video recorder (DVR) and home media center that records TV shows over-the-air (OTA) from an antenna and stores movies. I wanted to bring some movies and already recorded shows with us on the road with the added requirements that everyone is able to watch shows on their iPads as well as the TV.

Our motorhome has a metal shell all around it, which does a very good job of blocking WiFi signals. On top of that, campground WiFi is notoriously awful - weak signals from poor coverage.

A year or so after purchasing the RV, it was decided that one of the projects would be to add inside WiFi for mobile devices and the TV. That way they would all work when driving down the road by being connected to the internal network, but also pick up the campground WiFi for Internet access when parked. An added bonus of having our own permanent WiFi in the RV is that the kids' devices don't have to be set up with new WiFi at every stop.
