Security for SSH
SSH is the quintessential tool for server administration. But, most servers and VPS are installed with less than optimal settings for SSH. We don't want root to be able to log in, it's a security vulnerability. We don't want to allow the use of passwords for nobody to log in to our servers/VPS.
Tailscale running in a LXC
One way to use Tailscale on Proxmox servers for remote access is to use a Proxmox CT (LXC) and it will be unprivileged for security reasons. Using one LXC we can reach all our devices on the remote site securely. Tailscale makes WireGuard mesh networking easy.
Local SAMBA using a LXC
