      Kinda defeats the purpose of a media server built to be used by multiple people

          yeah. it did. took a bit. i used headscale initramfs with dropbear for my servers. Didnt find anything for netbird so i copied the headscale initram script and changed it for netbird. But all works now. I like it.

      The thing is, if you have non-technical users, you have to set up the VPN connection on the client site yourself, maybe on multiple machines and more than once, if they decide to upgrade or even just reset their devices.

        The problem here - it’s not me who requires access to my library, if someone isn’t willing or able to do it, I’m sorry but that’s just how it is. People should stop infantilize non-technical people, absolute majority of them is capable of navigating our world without much problems and I’m willing to help them if help is asked.

        If my 60 y.o. mother with close to zero technical skills can do it with limited help (due to distance and other constraints) I’m pretty sure that majority of people with sound mind can.
