Remotely, a free open source Remote Support Alternative to Anydesk GTA LogmeIn TeamViewer and more.

Remotely is a truely free (as in Libre) , truely open source GPS 3.0, Self-hosable Remote Desktop Support software. That's right! Foret the "free" but crippled versions of TeamViewer, Anydesk, GoToAssist, LogMeIn, and so many more. No need to try and make VNC work for you. Port Forwarding - never try to walk a client through that again.

Remotely is top-notch server and client Remote support software that puts the client in control for security, but makes it straight forward for you as a Desktop Support admin to help them through the process of getting connected.

My IT company uses screen connect and I had been looking for an open source alternative to that.
This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks Brian.

Awesome thank you! I have been looking for something like remotely for the past three years!

[BleepBloop]

One of the better video tuts out there. This was nice, and well narrated.

[nickrostov]

My favorite is LiteManager for remote access and support too with free version. Great another alternative!

[johnnobbsii]

This was an awesome video. Tried Mesh Central at first, but transitioned to this as it seemed to just work better. Hoping to see the MacOS addition.

I'm an IT business owner and I was thinking about making an 'Open Source Spotlight' YouTube page, but I just came across yours and you cover a lot of the ones I'd do!

[darkzero]

would love to see a new version of this via docker I'm at a loss issue with ssl using NPM

[dickyboy]

watched your video and is just what I have been looking for but could not find it to downlaod

Hi Brian. Thanks for the awesome video. I have implemented it for my work. I have a query. Can I connect the remote system as an admin so that I can access the remote without client interaction? Else I have to share the Admin password to the remote user before any config change and you know this is not a good practice.

[inkontainableargs]

Like you for using Linux. I also do :)
I use Ubuntu mate

[MarkensonPierre]

this is what I was looking for, wooow, thanks

[cryptolicious]

great video, gonna try it out!
any news on this running in docker n how to config that ?
jitsi meet and opencloud talk, is this better than those for screenshare and remote control?

[saintmore]

I thought these SSH keys at 20:46 could be used to log in but after a quick research I found out, they're just public keys. :P

[walk]

Great Video this is really awesome. I was wondering Is there a way to automate the connection process, if i wanted to remote access into my own PC from my work PC without if i can't press allow access?

[jared]

Remotely vs guacamole? I tried to deploy guacamole in docker and didn't have much success. Couldn't RC into anything.

[wuujiann]

Thanks for uploading this video. Fantastic video! Fantastic App!
I installed it on my linux servers at work, and it worked like a charm!
I did run into problems with Ubuntu on laptops (18.04 and 20.04).
After I click ok to authorize remote connection, the screen remains blank.
Not sure if anyone else encountered similar issue.
