So you're saying i can now have a fully remote mac mini server with auto-reboot on power outage without the need to physically log in with a keyboard attached? Awesome

Honest question; why would you want a server with mac os? I am asking because I thought about getting a mac mini for that purpose, because the hardware is great, but running mac os vs linux is what is throwing me off.

I run a render farm on macs. I'm getting so much more performance from a basic Mac Mini that it's not even funny.

Also a bit of CI on these because why not.

Managing remote macOS instances is a constant PITA, including, but not limited to ssh access quirks.
