The Linux Remote Desktop project version 0.9 is now available, developing a platform for organizing remote work for users. This is noted as the first stable release of the project, ready for building operational deployments. The platform allows for the setup of a Linux server to automate remote work for employees, enabling users to connect to a virtual desktop over the network and run graphical applications provided by the administrator. Access to the desktop is possible using any RDP client or through a web browser. The management web interface is implemented in JavaScript and is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license.
The project offers a ready-to-use docker container that can be deployed for any number of users. For infrastructure management, an administrator web interface is provided. The environment itself is built using standard open components such as xrdp (the implementation server for accessing the desktop via the RDP protocol), Ubuntu Xrdp (a multi-user docker container template based on xrdp with sound forwarding support), Apache Guacamole (a gateway for accessing the desktop via a web browser), and Nubo (a server environment for creating remote access systems).
Main Features:
- The platform can be used on any Linux distribution that supports the running of docker containers.
- It is claimed that multi-tenant systems can be created for an unlimited number of users.
- Support for multi-factor authentication and operation without the use of VPN.
- The ability to access the desktop from a standard browser without installing specialized remote access software.
- Management of all desktops in the organization and available applications through a centralized administrator web interface.
