I have friends and relatives that would like to do some memory and compute intensive tasks, but lack the hardware locally. I have loads of ram doing nothing and a little compute to spare. Is there a way for me to set up some service accessible to them that would allow them to spin up VMs, similar to Linode or DigitalOcean? I know letting outside access to a proxmox server would be disastrous. I guess I could setup a VPN server into a virtualized proxmox server? Would rather find a way to point them to a url with a username and password and have them able to use my server as their vps like AWS or Linode.
I tell my friends that my SLA for my media server is Shit’s Likely Available just so they understand that I give it out of generosity and don’t want anything in return. The bonus is that keeping brutally honest upfront likely means less risk of me ruining someone’s Friday movie night.
