Buying Macmini as remote access server. Which one?

[rexoserox]

Hello guys,
my parents always have some technical issues when I am not around. They always have to call people to fix really really simple stuff.
I know MacOs supports remote control / access with remote desktop. I have used it a long time ago I think it was on High Sierra.

Is it possible to run a Macmini 24/7 without a screen just Power and LAN in my parents house, so that I can connect to this macmini anytime. Or do I have to approve remote access everytime locally (my parents house) to access it?

Which MacMini would you recommend? Thanks a lot guys

Why not just use something like Teamviewer?

teamviewer needs someone to login I am afraid that they might have issues with login. I just want an option where I can enter anytime for printer issues, wifi issues etc.

I just want a 24/7 option to go in whenever there is a problem, without having to ask anybody for permission.
Is that even possible?

Most of those Remote Desktop apps support running as a service before login. As long as the computer boots and connects to the network. You’ll have access. Without them logging in to their user account.

otherwise they’d be useless for remote support. when a restart is needed.
