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?

Wait, why not create them an account on your instance ?

I would guess shitty internet in one or both places making local streaming a better option

That's me! Gotta love Spectrum baby!

I actually got into this because I used to have sporadic hour+ long Internet outages when I was trying to watch all of Star Trek.

Yeah even if you're someone who is super concerned about Jellyfin's API safety, it'll likely be less maintenance setting them up on tailscale than duplicating the streaming hardware. But that's assuming OP's family are as tech illiterate as mine
