Remote Reboot


Recommended Posts

Hey all.

 

I need your guidance on how to prepare for two possible real world scenarios.

 

Scenario 1:

I'm in another country.  My Unraid Server has seized up for some reason, and I can't ssh into the server or access the web gui.  What do I do?  Please note: I do have a SuperMicro Server w/ IPMI, but I've read everywhere not to expose that to the internet.  So.... how do I reboot my server?

 

Scenario 2:

I'm in another country at an internet café and I don't have my phone/laptop with Wireguard VPN access and my web gui isn't accessible remotely.  My server has a dynamic IP and I want to quickly SSH into my server.  Is it really a terrible idea to setup ssh via port forwarding so I can access my server via:

 

ssh [email protected] -p <unique_ssh_port>
