I’d like to experiment with MDM for mine and my child’s iPhones, and possibly my child’s MacBook.

I self host tons of mainly docker based services and have a domain, with everything behind traefik already.

Does anyone know a good MDM solution/tutorial to do this? I started to try one free recommended one but it was unfortunately a windows service, and then the apple side setup seemed very complicated and I could really use a tutorial.

And if anyone has done it, what are the main benefits over the regular parental controls?

Ah, I didn’t realise it might be difficult on the apple side registering as a company etc. Maybe it’s not worth the effort, but I’m gonna look into the options you mentioned

Supervised mode gives you basically all the cool options post IOS 12. That said, it’s been about 4 years since I’ve done any of that registration stuff and I know it changed a lot during the pandemic. So it could be easier now.
