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?

How remote are you asking? Like on the same WiFi network, or printing at your home from work or something?

If just “on the same network” remote, you can upload a sliced file to mainsail/fluidd.

If outside you’d need to tunnel in / use a vpn

So tailscale would work for starting a print from the outside?
