Summary This is a bit of an hodgepodge post offering a few pieces of advice and a rough model of Ansible code for Rsyslog instead of a step-by-step guide. This post assumes the reader has foreknowledge of Grayhound as a tool, and a desire to install it using conventional package managers. It moreover assumes the reader is comfortable enough with the Linux command line to install and with Ansible roles and execution.

To make a long story short, I don’t want my NAS to be multipurpose for reasons of admin. I only want it to be a backup server, nothing more. So I thought I’d write up a quick primer on installing and configuring VSFTP in a Proxmox LXC container.
