Easy way to do a lot of that is to layer most things on top of SSH. I
can pull/push git repositories using my SSH keypairs, I can access the
local network mounts that way, all sorts of things can be done with a
system that's already deployed. It's easy to put your own service on
top of SSH too. Want simplicity? Passwords are fine. Want security?
Push the encryption and authentication down to a lower layer, and save
yourself the trouble.
