If you have your home directory on another machine, it’s common to use NFS to access it. NFS is easy to set up and works more or less out of the box on Linux. However, NFS is not secure, and you need to have a carefully setup firewall in order to use it safely.

SSHFS is a more secure alternative, but it’s quite tricky to set up on the client side. It’s very easy to set up on the server though, you just need an SSH server with SFTP support.
