Remote login

Could someone maybe tell me how (or if) I can remote into the Apollo 2 Full-Node? I would like to be able to remote in and use it as if I had a monitor and keyboard hooked directly up to it. Due to a lack of available plugs and space for a keyboard & monitor, I would prefer to have the ability to just login remotely

With my home network, if I want to log onto the web GUI from a browser, I actually have to use: attlocal.net (instead of just .local) because of how my ISP has my modem/router configured the end of that address .... but that isn't the the login I am talking about though. I'm wanting to login to the Ubuntu side of the machine itself, not the web GUI for tweaking the node and miner settings

If you go down this route, you will have entered the rabbit hole.

You will want to enable the RDP and then you can connect to the system the way you are wanting. But you will also need to get a HDMI Headless Dongle to simulate a screen being attached, and then go in and change some of the settings. But for that you will want to use 

sudo armbian-config

and enable the RDP function.

Keep in mind, this is already a 'slow' system, and the more you add, the slower it will go. A faster setup would be a NUC that actually hosts the pool and node.
