Is this a good solution for syncing home profiles?
I would like to have both a laptop for on the go work, and a home desktop Mac. Ideally, these would share the same profile, or at least documents, bookmarks, etc. Several VMs; this is tricky because the laptop would not have all the hard disk space of the desktop, so I'd want to selectively sync these.
Is running OSX Server a solution? If so, would it be on a separate machine, or would (say) the desktop Mac run Server, a user profile there being able to be logged in locally, and synced with the laptop too?
- gm-conspiracy 10y agoI don't believe Server is its own OS per se, but a collection of "server" software running on OS X. That being said, I would physically separate the server, personally (not use it a daily-use machine). Not too relevant, but I remember doing web-dev many years ago and was told to never turn off my workstation because it was also a DNS server for the whole company. I know this is for your personal use, so YMMV.
