Remote Access Printer over Network - just some idea.
If I had more time and knowledge I would try to connect to the link between RAMBO and LCD and tried to connect it parallel to RPi Zero or modify the firmware, so that it would redirect the LCD and knob-control on the USB terminal via magic .gcode command.

What can you not do remotely with Octoprint?
When someone asks you if you're a god, you say, "YES!"

Its more expensive than the octoprint solution but what about getting a laptop to hook up to the printer and using Windows remote desktop? If you can set up the laptop to control the printer locally, remote desktop could let you control it from anywhere

If you are doing a single color print with an MMU2s/Mk3s the LCD will prompt for which filament to use, and there is no way to select it from OctoPrint. If I start a print job directly from PrusaSlicer 2.0 or from the OctoPrint web interface, the printer will pre-heat the nozzle and bed for the job and then just sit there and wait. It will not start bed leveling or anything else - even if I already have filament at the extruder until that selection is made.

OctoPrint has a plugin called MMU2 Select Filament that works... still not 100% but lets me select the filament (1-5) from within OctoPrint from my computer.

You can change the gcode to eliminate that question. Change the T? to T[0-4].
Change, save, upload!
