I run my production Jellyfin server and a few other services on a Optiplex sff computer with a thicc hard drive and a low profile GPU.

I want to build two more of these with thicc Hard drives so that my parents and my in-laws can have a local Jellyfin instance that I manage remotely and they just need a box plugged in somewhere at their homes.

Is it possible to make Proxmox build a VPN tunnel on boot so I can just have it in my cluster dash. Like using tailscale or openvpn.

Or am I going to have to go with my original plan and put that on the same box as the Jellyfin server and then just VNC in?

Any tips or ideas?

    Are you ready to be tech support for when the “weird box in the corner” stops working?

    And there’s no mention of how far away these people live; the further away the less likely I setup something like this. I have no desire to try and fix a bootloader issue from 1,000 miles away just to waste several hours and have to ship them a new X.

    I know this because I’ve done it, and I wouldn’t do it again. If someone doesn’t specifically ask for a home hosted solution (and have some sort of technical knowledge), I never offer a home hosted solution.

      15 minutes drive to my MIL and 4 hours to my own Mom.

      My dad used to do tech support and wants to learn some of this stuff while he’s recovering from surgery and I’m at my MILs several times a month anyways. So it all works out. Also it’s only fair as the FIL has helped me do so much with my car over the years I wanted to pay them back and he likes movies more than me.
