Hey -

I'm keen to replace my aging Raspberry Pi collection (that do things like PiHole, VPN endpoint, run nodes etc), with a single Mac mini that's hosting a couple of Linux VMs.

Question is, seems that people have various levels of success, I'd want to run this with only SSH access open on the VMs and maybe Remote Desktop to the macOS host.

Can I run the mini easily without screen, keyboard and mouse? i.e. it boots fine in this config?

Is this a viable approach (running Linux VMs for PiHole etc)?

Thanks for thoughts.
