MeshCentral, alternative à TeamViewer et RustDesk - LinuxFr.org

#MeshCentral is awesome. No Up-selling, no stupid "you are using it commercially" crap, just one-click access to my parent's PC to help my father understand some minor UX fuckup of the Scan-Tool that Fedora XFCE ships. In, explain, out, in under a minute! 💪
#MeshCentral is a really nice, self-hosted replacement for TeamViewer. It has some disadvantages (much worse performance, inconvenient multi-display support, browser based (and therefore issues with capturing key shortcuts)) but also some nice advantages (it's not teamviewer, it's free, you can monitor multiple machines in tile mode, detailed device informations, shell access).
I just onboarded a friend of mine and she is also enjoying working with it.

@mrmasterkeyboard @0xF21D @cesarpose for individiuals who do stuff on the side and who definitely don't make ends meet with #FLOSS I don't assume malice or incompetence unless proven otherwise.

  • If this were like #TeamViewer or #AnyDesk who charge triple digits per seat and year I'd not accept that tho!

Granted #Dayon is AFAICT the only competitive offering if #MeshCentral, #RustDesk & #Remotely are too overkill and that works on the convenient "Reverse-Server" model where one needs to only configure the network on the Assistant end, not on the end of the user seeking help.

  • Which is espechally desired for systems that one hasn't onboarded or ain't intended to get onboarded as a matter of principle (i.e. individual clients' desktops)...

I'm leaving Montréal this Sunday to attend the United Nations event in New York. Unclear which days I'm actually registered in, but I'll be in town Mon-Fri, accompanying some of my Open Source industry clients (such as EvoluData, related to #TikiWiki, #Dolibarr, #Cypht & #MeshCentral).

If you want to schedule an encounter, let me know today… otherwise, enter the dungeon on various weekdays until the multi-class character with a @regento branded laptop appears.

Ok. So turns out, #RustDeck is apparently a #freemium piece of shit, with the OSS version not even allowing to have an addressbook and also being stripped bare featurewise in any conceiveable way.
On to #MeshCentral it seems.

RustDesk: удалённый десктоп через свой сервер ретрансляции

RustDesk — приложение для удалённого рабочего стола с открытым исходным кодом, разработанное для самохостинга в качестве альтернативы TeamViewer. Название такое, потому что программа написана на Rust. Работает из коробки, не требует конфигурации. Если установить сервер синхронизации на своём хостинге, то любые машины в интернете могут синхронизироваться и устанавливать соединение через наш сервер для удалённого управления рабочими столами друг друга. Трафик идёт напрямую между ними, но если это невозможно — тоже через сервер, до 3 Мбит/с (1920×1080). Клиентское приложение есть для iOS и Android (на КДПВ), что позволяет со смартфона управлять рабочим столом Windows, Linux и MacOS (и наоборот), а также обмениваться файлами. Есть ещё веб-клиент .

🚨 Did you know that APT groups are now leveraging legit IT tools to launch attacks? Awaken Likho has traded out UltraVNC for MeshCentral in their latest campaign, taking advantage of its open-source nature to stay undetected. 😨

Cybersecurity Tip: Be cautious of open-source remote management tools in your environment—they can be hijacked for nefarious purposes if left unsecured.

Trying to set something sane up with Intel vPro this week at $DayJob, and given how powerful this is, all the tooling and documentation around it seems... completely shit? #MeshCentral seems the best of the bunch, but it's still awful at telling you why things aren't working, and I haven't got remote wipe working with any tool, and iso redirection is flaky as all hell.

Enterprise. Software.

The Minisforum MS-01 is a beast for homelab / server. I got the barebones kit and put the 96 GB Crucial kit verified to work with it from the ServeTheHome forum thread in, plus two WD N700 2TB NVMe SSDs in a RAIDZ1. I went with these drives because they're reasonably priced and they have a TBW of 2500, which is over 3 times that of the Samsung 990 Pro if memory serves. Enterprise SSDs were too expensive for my taste, and with a used one I couldn't be sure how worn out it was.

I've got it running Proxmox and I've played around with it a little, but I'm still trying to make remote management via AMT / vPro work through Mesh Central (and maybe Mesh Commander, I couldn't get it to work at all when I tried). Mesh Central can manage it pretty well, but I can't get AMT work to where I can enter the BIOS from my desk without having to unplug the MS-01 and tote it over to my desk and hook it up to a dock, etc. When I can get that working, that's when I'll finally be ready to tuck the cables behind everything and get to work setting up VMs. I don't really want to get infastructure I'm dependent upon up when I'm rebooting the thing all the time the way I am now.
