Re DAS: no you can’t connect multiple systems to it. iSCSI and NFS on a SAN or NAS support multiple connections but the OS or app needs to support it.
You should limit your connections to one machine per volume when using iSCSI or nfs. Smb would probably the best for multiple connections.
Cameras.
A camera would work too.
Why that instead of something easy like a QNap?
But I still wouldn’t recommend it. I’d give one whole GPU to one VM with PCI passthrough, and let multiple users remote in.
Which is why I’ve made the recommendation I did. Skip virtualization and go straight to remote access.
The apps you list need decent gpu and gpu doesn’t virtualize well. You also don’t run into licensing issues with Windows.
You can create individual accounts on the desktops so they get their own workspace.
Screenconnect, teamviewer, proxypro, vnc, RDP are all remote access solutions. Some work fine through a browser but work better from a chrome app.
I wouldn’t virtualize that type of software you listed though, I’d just give them access to the desktop itself.
No. I like my laptop to backup over the internet. I like my phone to use my nas for photos instead of Apple.
Update (one day later):
YouTube has just reinstated the video, after what I presume is a human review process. I wish it didn’t take making noise on socials to get past the ‘AI deny’ process :(
Go forth, and self-host all the things! I’ll post further updates in this issue in my YouTube project.
vpn to your vps for ipv4.
Dynamic dns to whatever your local hosted services use in case your local ipv6 changes. I’d just use the vps vpn for everything though unless the speeds are really bad.
If you’re ok with closed source and 20mbps, kemp makes a free version:
Neat, but if you had Tailscale, why not use Tailscale?
I used to recommend Synology but they seem to be focused on entering the enterprise while abandoning smb/soho users. I’d look at QNap today.
It’s not hard. Just Teams but self-hosted. Free would be ideal.

Yes. Synology will do this fine. They’ve been cunty recently so I recommend QNap.
I recommend adding Tailscale for remote access.
My Roku tv has an app that streams from network shares and my Synology NAS.
This is the most statement I’ve heard all morning.
Article states is likely a reporting issue with the router.
I’m curious what information a wash machine is sending could be useful to anyone?
Raspberry pi can handle a lot of those tasks fine and others slowly. They are dirt cheap and need very little space. You can add usb storage easily.
I would start there until you know what you’re doing and know what you want.
