  • I’ve heard rumours that Kitten Space Agency (the spiritual successor to Kerbal Space Program, considering KSP2 is dead on arrival) will support multiple monitors.
    I know it has multiplayer baked in at every step of the development (even if it won’t be available on release). So maybe I’m getting my wires crossed between multimonitor and features of the multiplayer that sound like they would be great for multi monitor (IE, someone plays as ground control)







  • Proxmox is a great place to start. It has a nice web ui, it’s easy to install, and has loads of useful features for running VMs.
    You can easily run windows or whatever Linux VMs you want.

    Before spending big money on a beefy server that may or may-not do what you want, I’d suggest buying a cheap NUC (intel N100 nucs are cheap, and have an iGPU).
    Then you can follow one of the many tutorials out there about Proxmox, Windows and GPU pass through.
    Once you have a windows VM working, you can play around with remote desktop stuff, and see if it is responsive/suitable - things like Apache Guacamole or Rust Desk can make for a very nice end user experience with a bit of extra upfront config.

    If remote desktop stuff isn’t working for you, you could try buying some used Crestron NVX from eBay. Can’t remember the exact model, but they are about £160.
    They have very little latency, but they will saturate 1gbe so need a home-run to the same switch (or 10gbps+ trunk links between switches).

    Once all that is feeling good, think about other services you want and get them running on the (starting to get overloaded) n100 nuc.

    When you have everything feeling good, then you can invest in a beefy machine with all the bells and whistles.
    Considering the n100 is for learning, with the idea of rebuilding the entire server: document what you do!
    There will be lots of trial and error along the way, and you will mess things up. So make sure you take lots of notes about what you do to configure things, and take snapshots of VMs before you start tinkering with them.








  • my router and my reverse proxy (traefik) is able to receive the necessary SSL/TLS certificates however

    From something like LetsEncrypt?
    As an HTTP-01 Challenge? Not an DNS-01 challenge?
    Http challenge means that port 80 is accessible from the public internet (because that’s how LE can confirm it can reach your server via the public DNS records, proof of server ownership).
    DNS-01 is about proof of DNS record ownership, and doesn’t prove public internet access.

    Also, what are you self hosting?
    Does it really need to be publicly accessible? Or just accessible by you and people you trust?
