It was time to get a Apple Silicon Mac. I quickly settled on a Mac mini M2. The hard part was picking a display. For the last few years I have been using a iMac 27 5K. The best display I have used, by far!

I found Hugo in 2017 and since then I have used it to build a lot of web sites. Building sites with Hugo is fun! For customer sites where an editor need to keep the site updated I early on started to use Forestry.

Last year I built a number of Hugo sites that takes the content from Notion and Airtable via their respective API. It works really well. Users manage the data in Notion or Airtable and the sites are kept updated in the background automatically.

One of the big advantages with static sites are that you can host them almost anywhere. I have found that GitHub pages is one of the most convenient hosting solutions. With the help of GitHub actions the deployment process can be completely automated.

My goal is to have separate wireless networks for guest and IOT devices, each on there own VLAN. Setting up VLAN with an EdgeRouter, UniFi switch and UniFI access points takes a few extra steps. In this post I describe how I got it working.
