There are circumstances where one wants to attach the local machine to the same layer 2 ethernet segment, which a remote machine is connected to, with the only available transport being SSH.
While this solution has quite some shortcomings and should not be used to replace a real VPN, it can be beneficial e.g. for debugging network issues remotely.
Tilaa is my vps provider but doesn't have alpine in the install options After playing around with the vps systems... coreos ubuntu.. i did make mistakes... coreos got invaded ... opened a webgui... forgot to protect it... needed to get some data from it. So used the Tilaa rescue boot (in the Dashboard) and mounted the disks. Also used it when i increased the disk size for an installation (if I remember correctly), deleting the partition, creating a new one with the same starting address), do a resize2fs to expand and voila.. Bob was my uncle.
After playing arround with Alpine Linux in coreos and ubuntu lxd. I thought it would be a nice distro to get running straight from the vps. A weekend without sunlight but with pixellight I got it running, needs another iteration to make it a smooth experiance :o.
