I’m at college right now, which is a 3 hour drive away from my home, where a server of mine is. I just have to ask my parents to turn it back on when the power goes out or it gets borked. I access it solely through RustDesk and Cloudflare Tunnels SSH (it’s actually pretty cool, they have a web interface for it).
I have no car, so there’s really no way to access it in case something catastrophic happens. I have to rely on hopes, prayers, and the power of a probably outdated Pop!_OS install. Totally doesn’t stress me out I’ll just say I like to live on the edge :^)
Setup a pikvm as ipmi and you’ll have at least another layer of failure required to completely lose connectivity
Currently the server(s) are in my room, which is so messy my dad probably wouldn’t even enter it voluntarily. And in the case grub/fstab/crypttab/etc. are messed up, which is probably the most common error, he probably couldn’t solve it by himself. Soon everything’s gonna live in its own little room in the basement, so it’s gonna be accessible easier actually.
