Sharing my own experience. (Sorry if this is already widely known! I’m somewhat new to self-hosting.)
I have a 2009 Mac Mini (upgraded via OCLP) that I use as a server for BlueBubbles, Jellyfin, & SyncThing. It’s not hooked up to a monitor, so I’ve been servicing it by remoting in via Chrome Remote Desktop. I only have to access it a few times a year, but each time is such a chore because this old machine is SO slow. Constant beachballing, every task takes forever. Chrome RD finally stopped working this month, so I switched to TeamViewer and I’m shocked by how much faster everything’s running. It’s still not fast (it IS a 2009 machine, after all) but I’m able to accomplish tasks much faster than when I was using CRD. And just like CRD, I’m able to start TeamViewer at startup, even before login, which is crucial.
Thank you TeamViewer!
Ooh, I’ll check out RustDesk, thank you! My hope is that I’ll use this so infrequently that I won’t run into that issue, but good to have a backup. And LOVE that it’s open-source & self-hosted.
