Have I gone overboard? (lemmy.world)

Have I went overboard? Any suggestions? Or help? I travel a lot and don't have a lot of time when I am home to setup and configure.

I'm using Cloudron on Linode for some things because I have StarLink and haven't figured out how to connect via internet to my LAN yet. I can use VPN with the router but it seems wonky.

2 NAS

2 Raspberry Pi's with DNS servers

Raspberry Pi with HomeAssistant

Separate NVR for cameras

Several Docker containers on one of NAS

A Raspberry Pi with DietPi. a 1TB attached drive and Docker Containers.

Cloudron on Linode for when I'm away from home.

TeamViewer is really nice when you're on the road a lot. That way if you need to hop in and change something, you can do it from pretty much anywhere.

TeamViewer is good until they decide its not personal use anymore. Better go for AnyDesk or even better RustDesk if you need remote desktop. But why not just wireguard or tailscale?

Or when the platform gets compromised and they refuse to admit it and blame the customers instead

Yup, if you just use a couple different IPs in a given time they will arbitrarily mark you as requiring a license.

Nah, use Mesh Central 2! It's free, you can self-host it and using a little agent you can connect to any machine from it via console or even via a desktop interface without bothering with VNC etc.
