osx server to manage my family??
ok so I have a few questions so please bear with me and hopefully someone could help me out.
1. I was looking at OS X server on a mac mini (in my home) for helping me control my families iOS devices and apple products. As this would be the sole purpose of this mini. So is that really stupid or would it be a good move? First off i don't mind learning and screwing up. things I would like to achieve:
2. running my own email at home, (dynamic maybe using dyndns or similar)
3. controlling my family of iPhones and iPads, (caching updates), but mostly for this I would like to be able to remotely push profiles to my kids phones you know when they get grounded and I want to limit what they can do with it, would like to not have to phyiscally get the phone in my hand. Currently using restrictions in each phone. but it would be nice to set that all up on a desktop then push to it. Sometimes I might forget a setting or something like that.
If I go this route I will use my iPhone and iPad as a lab rat first.
4. would love to have a VPN setup on everyones device so that I don't have to worry about them using hotels, coffee shop wifi etc etc.
everyone has there own apple act and we do use family share which is nice but would I be doubling up on anything here? Im sure someone is in a similar postion with apple becoming more popular.
Don't really need calendar and contacts shared as contacts are separate and calendar is served by iCloud
thank you!
