A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

I’d like to experiment with MDM for mine and my child’s iPhones, and possibly my child’s MacBook.

I self host tons of mainly docker based services and have a domain, with everything behind traefik already.

Does anyone know a good MDM solution/tutorial to do this? I started to try one free recommended one but it was unfortunately a windows service, and then the apple side setup seemed very complicated and I could really use a tutorial.

And if anyone has done it, what are the main benefits over the regular parental controls?

Mobile Device Manager, used for protecting/locking down devices.

I'd say locking it down is a feature of being managed, not necessarily what it does.

When managing devices, you can enable users to have as much control as you'd like.

It's more about being able to manage devices from a single place, similar to what business does with workstations and servers (e.g. MS SCOM.

Plenty of users still have admin rights even with SCOM being used. It still really helps from a support perspective.
