  • Is there a selfhosted opensource alternative to an app virtualization or VDI platform like Citrix Xenapp
    You could have a look at https://ravada.upc.edu/. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Remote desktop software with VM/CT auto provisioning
    Thanks to your terminology input I also found https://ravada.upc.edu which seems promising. Cheers! Source: over 2 years ago
  • Thin client Setup?
    You would have to find/use some kind of open source VDI solution. Unless you have an ass load of money to pay Citrix or VMWare to use their solution. Source : I'm a Sr. Citrix Engineer. A quick google search came up with this. Https://ravada.upc.edu/. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Free Desktop Virtualization Solutions (preferably open-source) that work well like Amazon Workspaces or VMware Workstation. Any suggestions?
    I tried playing with this solution to see how it compares to VMWare Horizons, and it provides some limited functionality. Https://ravada.upc.edu/. Source: almost 3 years ago

  • OpenSource Thin Client?
    What about ThinStation? That can apparently bootstrap enough components to talk to Citrix, Redhat, Windows, VMWare Horizon, etc... Apparently even telnet, VMS and SSH if you're feeling really nostalgic. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Ubuntu server with Dump linux based terminals
    For your old clients, I guess that ThinStation will be fine, either you're using ThinLinc or other kind of remote access. https://thinstation.github.io/thinstation/. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Low power SFF PC to use as a thin client, that has four video outputs?
    Oh wow that'd be really great of you. ThinStation is what I've been looking at. But if the aren't locked down it should work. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Windows 10 to automatically log in and run remote desktop login, disable all other apps.
    I think that I've read good quality suggestions, but... Why waste a Windows license for it to work as a thin client? Try installing Thinstation - https://thinstation.github.io/thinstation/ (or make the computer boot it from network!). Source: over 2 years ago
  • Looking to set up a few of these Wyse clients... Advice? See comment.
    I hate ThinOS. Try to install anything else if you can. Thinstation is free. LTSP network boots its clients. Source: over 2 years ago
