With Linux: Mount the remote texlive/2025 directory of the server to a local 
(empty) directory, e.g., /usr/local/texlive/2025. Add the binary directory of 
the local texlive at the beginning of PATH, e.g.
	PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2025/bin/x86_64-linux:$PATH
	export PATH
Open a child shell or LaTeX editor.

Mounting network sources at boot time is also possible (and even when 
connecting to the network). But this has nothing to do with TeX Live. So if 
needed, ask a Linux forum.

BUT: LaTeX runs with remote LaTeX-Installations can be slow depending on the 
network speed and the number of packages used. Therefore I've not used it for 
several years. Instead some time ago I've used rsync to copy a server 
installation to the local machines and keep them up-to-date. I have since 
moved away from this approach and now use standalone installations on each 
individual machine instead. This takes a little time when installing, but 
updates are usually quick to complete.
