My way is better because it&#x27;s more reliable. Sometimes easier is just a side benefit. For OP&#x27;s article complexity is reduced, reliability is better and price point stays the same (seeing how he already pays about the same for a bare metal server). I am sorry, sometimes an opinion is just an opinion, and other times somebody IS just wrong. There&#x27;s benefit in any approach, but there is always a better way. Coming from someone who had the same shitty remote setup with RPis, I have enough experience to advise a better way.
