I'm assuming they aren't close enough to just run some cat6 between both houses and have a single instance govern them?
I'll be honest though, although your plan sounds cool as fuck, it also sounds like a really terrifying project from a security perspective.
Nope. 2.5km or so but in a dense populated city 😁
I’m interested in your terrifying view though. Maybe I’m missing something, this is roughly what’s in my head now: (1 is my home, 2 is a a cloud server, 3 is my parents)
For me this seems very secure, more so given we mostly have read only things. maybe there is something I’m missing?
Sidenote: we have Smappee as well and can access each others home through their app. We can use this at first but it would just be cool to make this flow. I for one don’t want to be this dependent of some vendor, if you know what I mean..
Forgot to mention: 2 can even just send a notification to Slack to my parents. We are already using this. They are helping with testing the SaaS
Use woreguard and do a point to point VPN, I have one with my mate and so I can stream shit from his server over local LAN, wireguard is fucking sick.
