This thread is actually a great time for me to shamelessly self-promote

it's very well-documented[0] and VERY easy to use (though it certainly
could be easier).

Since it's so customizable, you can spin up multiple variants for each

has my SSH keys in root's authorized_keys file and an openvpn client
conf that automatically runs on boot as well as automatically pulling a
DHCP lease. handy stuff, that, for headless boxes)
