The MacPro is a MacOS server that hosts A/V editing software e.g., DaVinci Resolve (Studio) and DaVinci Resolve Project Server.
Born in 2012 and still a formidable machine in the year of our Lord 2024! It has been upgraded with a dual hex-core (12-core) Xeon Processors, 512GB NVMe storage, and 96GB RAM.
It's the only machine we know of that can edit 6K video and still burn CD-ROMs!
For security, there is no port forwarding to the device; it can only be accessed via SSH or VNC over VPN.
DaVinci Resolve (Studio)[edit]
The MacPro is capable of 6K Video editing locally or remote via VNC over VPN:
vnc://username@resolve.wreckroom.nyc
DaVinci Resolve Project Server[edit]
The MacPro also hosts the DaVinci Resolve Server via PostgreSQL.
Configuration File[edit]
Here is the location of the config:
sudo vim /Library/PostgreSQL/13/data/pg_hba.conf
For the initial configuration, update the config as such:
# pg_hba.conf file has been edited by DaVinci Project Server. Hence, it is recommended to not edit this file manually.
# TYPE DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD
local all all scram-sha-256
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 scram-sha-256
host all all ::1/128 scram-sha-256
host all all 192.168.1.0/24 scram-sha-256
host all all 192.168.3.0/24 scram-sha-256Note: You must add entries for hosting the WAN (e.g. 192.168.1.0/24) and the VPN (192.168.3.0/24). The VPN address will always need to be added, otherwise you will not be able to connect from VPN.
Restart Postgres[edit]
Restart the postgres services via terminal to apply changes to config:
Big Sur[edit]
sudo -u postgres /Library/PostgreSQL/13/bin/pg_ctl restart -D /Library/PostgreSQL/13/data
Daily Logs[edit]
I was able to find the cause of the VPN not connecting by reviewing the logs:
sudo ls /Library/PostgreSQL/13/data/log
Here was the output from the failed config:

We use OpenCore to keep MacOS up-to-date and extend the life of this now vintage machine.
Limitations[edit]
- As a result, WiFi and Bluetooth no longer work as of OS X Catalina.
