Any app like TeamViewer on TrueNAS?

[Robert Thomspon]

Are there any apps that would function similar to TeamViewer but, self hosted (obviously).

Like: I set up the TrueViewer (clever, right?) Server on TrueNAS as an app... Then we can install little applets on other machines that give us RDP control over those 'client' computers? (Assuming we just point the client app to the main server to handle everything)

Or is this WAY out in left field?

(FYI: I have a love hate relationship with TeamViewer. I love their software, I hate their ransom demands when I connect to 1 too many computers or VMs)

Most servers support some kind of BMC that has remote control/view available. HP has iLo, Cisco has CIMC, and a lot of the Supermicro boards have IPMI. Failing that, you can SSH to the box or just remote browse to the Web GUI.

You can run a Windows VM and Apache Guacamole in a jail. Guacamole supports a screen sharing feature.

im looking for more of an all in one, cross platform kind of thing. which, im now guessing, doesnt exist :)
AND, im looking for a GUI interface (which is why i specifically mentioned Teamviewer as the app already out there. I know i can use VNC or even RDP if i really want to have fun with port forwards :)

and yes, i also know that ultimately, ssh is more powerful, but often what takes 50 commands in CLI can be done with 1 click in a GUI... or not at all in a gui :)

If it's not sharing but remote access you're after - I did not catch that, because to me TemViewer is about shared sessions - then Apache Guacamole fits the bill.

Sorry, I may not have been explicit enough.
I've usually used TV as a remote connection and rarely as shared.ill take a peek at guacamole. Thanks!!!

I can help you with setup in a jail ...

With guacamole? And... App? Or jail? (I'm on scale)

 

[Patrick M. Hausen]

I run CORE for most of my applications. Including Guacamole in a jail. Sorry, no clue about SCALE in that regard. You did not start the discussion in the SCALE forum, so I assumed you were running CORE.

Oh, ha... I didn't even notice that :)

No worries. (I ran core for about 6 years, just moved to scale late last year under RC)

The folks at TrueCharts already have Guacamole in their list.

Yeah, I installed it last night to mess with. Gonna have to read the manual.

It's complicated... you need the daemon and the client to work together somehow. (2 separate apps)

Plus optional but recommended a database to store users, profiles and permissions.
I hope the TrueCharts folks put together a nice package.

The client and the server are not difficult to integrate when you run the FreeBSD port.
