About Remote Desktop

I use the apache guacamole server for desktop sharing, integral with various other services provided from my domain space.

Secure Connections

Your connection is secure, only registered users can connect to the guacamole server. Once registered, you can check your desktop connect here.

Registration is free and fast using google or twitter, or you can manually register which requires manual approval.

Tips for better sharing experience

Be at an actual desktop

Later some large tablets may be supported but for now an actual Linux, Mac, or Windows desktop is required.

Decide on supporting mode of interaction

Ft Doorbell

The Ft doorbell fronts the Jitsi video service and is the default means of live interaction. You may need to expand the doorbell bar by clicking on the flap to see a desktop link.

Phone Call

Ft doorbell supports smart phones and is meant to coordinate with the desktop sharing but a regular phone call can be used instead. You will still need to register to use the desktop service.

Chat

Instead of or in addition to voice and/or video, you can use either the Jitsi or Guacamole chat functions.

Setup any remote server connections

Typically this will be ssh sessions with your AWS, Linode, or other hosts. If don't have I can set this up for you in the session.

Close pornhub tabs

Just kidding, but you may want to check if anything sensitive needs to be taken off the desktop for the session.
