I was having trouble with access to my work remote desktop from home. Each time I was told the issue was fixed, I went home and it didn't work again.
So, I used my work PC to use remote desktop on my home server, and use that to remote access the work remote desktop again. Managed to troubleshoot the problem and complete the steps I needed to do on site to get this working.
I'm new to self hosting and am really enjoying having access to my home services. I chuckled at remote desktop inception, but it's been really helpful in solving my problem.
I acknowledge that this is a silly question, but what does a Windows home server do? I'm sure there are many possibilities, but most of my server experience has been Linux-based, so I'm just curious.
If I were to run Windows on my home server, I'd probably just end up running a lot of services in WSL out of habit ๐
I think the home server is probably Linux, since the middle panel is from KDE Plasma.
Yup. Windows work PC, accessing the Debian home server, which is coming back to access work's Windows remote desktop.
Although my brother is running an N100 NUC with desktop Windows as a server. He doesn't want to learn a new system and has just found it easier to install Jellyfin, qBittorrent, etc on a standard desktop OS. I'm offering him support to learn Linux and Docker, but he's still rocking desktop Windows for now.
Maybe a few *arr services configured in a docker-compose file might be appealing to him ๐
Ahh you're right. I totally overlooked that ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ KDE's not my daily driver
