<div class="bbWrapper">Are there any apps that would function similar to TeamViewer but, self hosted (obviously).<br /> <br /> 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)<br /> <br /> Or is this WAY out in left field? <br /> <br /> (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)</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">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.</div>

I know i can use VNC or even RDP if i really want to have fun with port forwards :)<br /> <br /> 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 :)</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">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.</div>
