Sharing Home folder

Things to consider ⚠️

• ssh keys will be shared ash well
  • to be able to connect to other system own key need to be added to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
• firefox will refuse to start thinking it’s already started

It is advise to enable different config between the two system (missing application / different version)

• consider using a dotfile manager (like chezmoi or yadm) to manage user-specific configs smartly.

To make the /home folder available reachable, ip of the server must be fixed, cf:

• add a 2nd ip for a laptop
  • this is dependant of the interface: changing a usb dongle will hide it.
• setup a static ip for a server
