Honestly the best thing to do is just start trying things and don’t only rely on your own stuff until you have a good understanding.

Just get an old computer and install an os you want to learn, worst case you break it and reinstall.

I suggest proxmox since you can lean on community scripts and can backup and restore any containers pretty easily if needed.

But as with anything don’t go in expecting to be perfect, just get started, break some eggs and learn from mistakes. You will learn what you like about it, what you would change and you can burn it all down and start again if you want as well.

If you use tailscale you could pretty easily get similar results.

Tailscale to broker connections between devices and then access with the tailscale IP address

I would have think maybe a clam?
