I chose /usr/bin/local/ (Gatekeeper warning incoming) (on your local machine fyi, mdmctl not needed on the server.) Actual need to start here, NanoMDM’s quickstart needs updating. I will be making a PR soon™. Configure mdmctl with: mdmctl config set \ -name production \ -api-token MySecretAPIKey \ -server-url https://my-server-url So I did: ...

Overview and Goal I want to set up a reverse proxy to serve my LAN for 3 main reasons: Get proper TLS/SSL certificates so I can go to my selfhosted services without any warning from my browser Use a proper domain so I feel like a real sysadmin and I can remember those better than IP addresses (yes, I know I can do local hostname and domain, see point 1) I need proper certificates for running open source MDMs @ home for a longer term than the 2 hour ngrok tunnels that are used in the nano quickstart.

My Goal I wanted to use a VDI image from SEED Labs in my Proxmox instance since I already had that running and would much rather have it running on that than my desktop machine.
