Howdy Selfhosters!

A family member who does not live in my state recently got a new PC, and asked for my help in setting it up. Since it can’t be done in person, I’ll have to do this over the phone. Problem is, I don’t really want to walk them through all of the steps (download Firefox, ublock origin, uninstall W11 bloat, etc) over the phone. I was hoping there exists a software that I could host on my Linux machine (I am able to port forward/host externally if necessary), and instruct them over the phone to download the “other end” (client-side) of the software so that I can remote in and set their PC up myself.

I checked out the awesome-selfhosted list and found that most of the remote access softwares are mainly for SSH servers. I did check out Guacamole, but I’m not sure I understand how to utilize the software. Any help and suggestions are welcome. Thank you everyone!

Dieses Projekt hat sich ein bisschen weiterentwickelt. Ich habe einen kleinen Sensorknoten gebaut, der Temperatur, Luftfeuchtigkeit und Luftqualität in der Wohnung erfasst. Es ist einfach ein ESP32-C3 Zero mit einem BME680-Sensor, der mit meinem lokalen MQTT-Broker spricht.

Das Gerät hostet seine eigene Weboberfläche für die Einrichtung – WLAN, MQTT-Topics und Schlafintervalle werden dort konfiguriert. Keine Cloud, kein Vendor-Lock-in, keine Dritt-Apps. Home Assistant zieht die Werte per MQTT und kümmert sich um Historie und Alarmierung.

Das Ganze kostet fast nichts. Wenn ein Board stirbt, flashe ich ein Ersatzgerät, gebe die gleichen Zugangsdaten ein, und es läuft sofort.

Akkulaufzeit bei 10-minütlicher Aktualisierung ca. 2-4 Monate.

Noice!
