how to set up a remote managed node for mom (startrek.website)

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?

You can do this easily with Tailscale or a similar wiregaurd vpn.

Is it pretty easy to set up on a CLI?

I'd want to do that if possible.

Yes. Tailscale is surprisingly simple.

# systemctl start tailscale
# tailscale up

Hell yeah

Yep, you can install it directly on the proxmox host too.

Just make sure you test it and also test upgrades so you can avoid having to be on-site for those.

Or run the docker container if you're going that direction (https://hub.docker.com/r/tailscale/tailscale).
