Looking for a low latency self hosted remote desktop reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Squanchy2112 · 2023-12-20 15:09 So far I have looked at mesh central, rust desk, and remotely of these which has the least latency. I am aware of moonlight sunshine and parsec but I am looking for something that is more hardware agnostic. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Znomon · 2023-12-20 17:27 How low latency? What are you trying to do? Any virtual machine on your local network with TightVNC Server will do great if you are using it as a productivity machine. If you are trying to game on it, you have listed some of the best platforms for game streaming. Not enough info to really recommend anything else. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Squanchy2112 · 2023-12-20 17:40 Low latency is preferred I will using it to handle remote managing a PC in my lan. I will need to review some high resolution images for client rollouts. The issue I am running to now is I am using guacamole with rdp and it's just really unreliable sometimes the login gets stuck or the system with just be offline. Auto login is preferred for me on this machine and with rdp it just doesn't work so I want to move to something more transparent, I really like what I am seeing from mesh central but I want to cover all my bases. We are also looking to get away from TeamViewer at my office so I will be doing something similar across the whole company as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Arkhorus · 2023-12-20 20:47 Parsec would be my go to as free software as it's designed for gaming. For a more professional VDI, paid software, I would go for Vmware Horizon, but the infrastructure is a bit more complex to setup ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dumpsterfired · 2023-12-20 20:48 Nomachine? https://www.nomachine.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Squanchy2112 · 2023-12-20 20:50 I use nomachine in my LAN now, didnt think about just forwarding that out through a proxy of course, I really really want something browser based though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Squanchy2112 · 2023-12-20 20:51 yea I was hoping to find something browser based if at all possible, i dont need gaming level latency but if I can pull up images and they dont get all jacked up colors and stuff, video playback at a reasonable framerate would be nice too ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dumpsterfired · 2023-12-20 20:52 https://www.nomachine.com/getting-started-with-web-based-remote-access ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Arkhorus · 2023-12-20 21:20 If you want browser based, you could use Kasm, it's a free selfhosted VDI solution, with it you can have a full fledged Ubuntu desktop in your browser. The desktop runs as a VM, so it's isolated but you can access your LAN from it. For windows based, I only know of solutions like Horizon or Citrix which are paid ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Squanchy2112 · 2023-12-20 21:24 Gotcha, I want to access exactly what is on that specific vm or local pc screen so I dont need so much virtual desktop power. But I will certainly take a look at kasm, these are mainly windows clients, and non windows client I would likely just ssh ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ProbablePenguin · 2023-12-20 22:22 RDP? It's going to be the lowest latency aside from dedicated gaming stuff like Parsec. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dumpsterfired · 2023-12-20 22:33 If you are open to a commercial product, Leostream does this and a lot more. It's self hosted and supports all kinds of hardware and display protocols including nomachine, rdp, pcoip, nice dcv and more. Brokers connections, provides agents, gateway, and web client https://leostream.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Squanchy2112 · 2023-12-20 22:56 This is juicy I will try this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Squanchy2112 · 2023-12-20 22:57 RDP doesnt work correctly for some reason the users logging in and out to the virtual desktop causes too many issues. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Squanchy2112 · 2023-12-20 22:58 commercial as in not free lol, looks good but not for me sadly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Stickus · 2023-12-21 04:21 Guacamole ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Squanchy2112 · 2023-12-21 05:03 That's what I'm using now and it sucks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Stickus · 2023-12-21 05:13 I'm sorry to hear that. I use it daily for both Windows and Linux machines in my homelab and it works well enough for me to use CAD and 3d slicer apps. What kind of apps are you having trouble with? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Squanchy2112 · 2023-12-21 05:37 Something about rdp and my windows VM don't play nicely, I think it's got something to do with the way the GPU is passed through I run cad on it as well so I have to have dedicated hardware acceleration. If none of these solutions lead to a speed improvement I will be moving to a dedicated mini PC in my lan that I can then continue to use guac with most likely. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- housepanther2000 · 2023-12-21 11:41 It might be worth checking out Apache Guacamole. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Squanchy2112 · 2023-12-21 13:43 That what I use now and it doesn't do what I need. Thank you though.
