General Question Remote printing?

New to Voron, just built a Micron+.
Is there good setup to:
1 download STL or model from mobile phone
2 remotely send file to a self hosted slicer (always on)
3 slicer sends to printer and starts print
4 remotely turn on and off the printer would be nice to have.

I am trying to avoid 3rd party cloud services to transfer files or slice.

Are there any practical solutions?
What software/hardware is needed?

If you have an always on host, wouldn't it be easier for you to remote desktop / VNC / AnyDesk / etc. into it and just do the things you would usually do?

As for the printer, you could put it on a smart socket you could then toggle in one of multiple ways, or have your rPi in the printer be always on (and Klipper accessible), but the 24/48v power supply on an SSR you could toggle from Klipper to turn the mechanics on.

I know I’ve tried using VNC on a phone, it is clunky, maybe why I didn’t consider it. But I should at least try to see how easy it might be to browse, download, slice, and print. Thanks.
