Mac Mini Fleet
Hello,
I am a server provider who usually provides windows/linux servers to my customers. Lately there has been an uptick in requests for Mac Mini Servers, so I got a bunch. But I am having trouble managing them.
They are constantly going down, freezing, remote access and SSH going down, customers breaking them by changing settings, etc... and I am having to send remote hands in everytime to fix the devices
For people managing large Mac fleets/server farms:
What are you using for:
mass updates
remote command execution
preventing users from breaking remote access
recovery after macOS updates
Best practices for maintaining persistent remote access?
Main priorities are:
reliability
easy recovery
customer flexibility
Would appreciate hearing from anyone operating a fleet of Macs remotely.

What are you using for remote access other than SSH?
