  • Very few things out there don’t require an agent. TacticalRMM is a decent self-hosted device management platform, but I don’t really trust them after some controversy with an embedded Monero miner in the agent (has since been removed, but come on).

    MeshCentral is what TRMM uses for its remoting and its pretty robust, but doesn’t do patch management on its own. If most of your infrastructure is Linux, you can easily handle it yourself though.

    TBH, manual management would be the easiest if your infrastructure is small enough.




  • I use AT&T as my ISP and their router software is workable at least. It can assign static IPs and do port forwarding; enough for a basic home lab and some self hosting. If you absolutely need to be in full control of your network, most off-the-shelf name-brand router/APs will do. At that point in your journey, I’d recommend a Mikrotik hax3. You don’t need to dive into the advanced stuff in Router OS, they have a quick setup that’s good enough but you can go deeper if you need. Though I will say there’s a learning cliff.
