I've been looking for an alternative that doesn't need a Java back-end, mostly because I've found that the proxy tends to balloon up with multiple simultaneous connections. In fact, there seems to be a lack of modern web-based RDP client alternatives in general.
- jakestl 3y agoYears ago I ported some of the Java to Go because we didn't need any of what the Java client was doing: https://github.com/wwt/guac https://github.com/wwt/guac
- rcarmo 3y agoYeah, I have that on my favorites, and the sample Vue app. Never found something that worked beyond a demo scenario.
- sbt567 3y agoThere's https://rustdesk.com https://rustdesk.com
- rcarmo 3y agoI need something that doesn’t reinvent the RDP wheel with less features — i.e., I need real, live RDP connections to existing servers, not a new piece of software to do remote desktops with a different line protocol.
- PenguinCoder 3y agoTry KasmWeb[0]. [0] https://kasmweb.com/ https://kasmweb.com/
- rcarmo 3y agoI use KasmVNC with some container apps that bundle it, but that doesn’t really match RDP’s feature set.
- PenguinCoder 3y agoHave you setup the Kasm Server aspect[0]. That is, not just the container workspace, but you can have Kasm connect to a separate actual server via RDP, or VNC; not a docker container workspace. In this manner, Kasm has completely replaced Guacamole for me. [0] https://kasmweb.com/docs/latest/guide/workspaces.html#servers https://kasmweb.com/docs/latest/guide/workspaces.html#server...

- rcarmo 3y agoNope. Why would I want an extra agent on each target machine?
- keepamovin 3y agoBrowserBox uses a lightweight Node async event loop backend and runs across Debian/Ubuntu/RHEL/CentOS/Kali/MacOS and even Windows Server is supported via our PSGallery link. Rather than being an RDP or VNC clone, it just virtualizes the remote browser. BrowserBox is source-available, free for non-commercial (including government/non-profit) use and comes with audio, mobile first, file uploads/downloads and so on out of the box!

- rcarmo 3y agoNope. Doesn’t work for any real Remote Desktop use case.
- keepamovin 3y agoNot even for the browser? What's your use case and what do you currently use?
- rcarmo 3y agoI need to access RDP servers, period. Web apps are not even a consideration in many environments.
- keepamovin 3y agoThat’s true, I understand. I’m sure it seemed like I was suggesting it could replace RDP entirely. I’m sorry for not being more clear. Curious tho, what’s the issue with current solutions? Windows RDP? Guac? Sounds like you’re saying they’re no good?
- rcarmo 3y agoWindows RDP is what I need to use, but I also need a lightweight web bastion. Guacamole works, but is too heavy for the kind of proxy/router/equipment I’m targeting.
