kasmtech / KasmVNC

KasmVNC - Linux Web Remote Desktop KasmVNC provides remote web-based access to a Desktop or application. While VNC is in the name, KasmVNC differs from other VNC variants such as TigerVNC, RealVNC, and TurboVNC. KasmVNC has broken from the RFB specification which defines VNC, in order to support modern technologies and increase security. KasmVNC is accessed by users from any modern browser and does not support legacy VNC viewer applications. KasmVNC uses a modern YAML based configuration at the server and user level, allowing for ease of management. Kasm Technologies developed Kasm Workspaces, the Containerized Streaming Platform. Kasm has open-sourced the Workspace docker images, which include containerized full desktops and apps and base images intended for developers to create customized streaming containers. These containers can be used standalone or within the Kasm Workspaces Platform which provides a full Enterprise feature set. Documentation **Do not use the README from the master branch**, unless you are compiling KasmVNC yourself from the tip of master. Use the documentation for your specific release. • KasmVNC Documentation For beta releases prior to version 1.0.0, use the README in this github project on the tagged commit for that release. Installation **You must disconnect and reconnect to the server after installation, for the group membership to apply.** Debian/Ubuntu/Kali Oracle 8 Getting Started The following examples provide basic usage of KasmVNC with the tools provided. For full documentation on all the utilities and the runtime environment, see our KasmVNC Documentation Optional systemd auto-start on boot Configuration KasmVNC is configured via YAML based configurations. The server level configuration is at . Edits to this file apply to all users. Individual users can override server global configurations by specifying them in their configuration file at . The following configuration shows all default settings. Many of the encoding settings can be overridden by the client, unless the setting is set tot false. By default the client is allowed to modify encoding settings. For a full description of each setting see the configuration reference. New Features! • Faster jpeg compression (via statically linked libjpeg-turbo) • Webp image compression for better bandwidth usage • Automatic mixing of webp and jpeg based on CPU availability on server • Multi-threaded image encoding for smoother frame rate for servers with more cores • WebRTC UDP Transit • Lossless QOI Image format for Local LAN • Full screen video detection, goes into configurable video mode for better full screen videoo playback performance. • Dynamic jpeg/webp image coompression quality settings based on screen change rates • Seemless clipboard support (on Chromium based browsers) • Binary clipboard support for text, images, and formatted text (on Chromium based browsers) • Allow client to set/change most configuration settings • Data Loss Prevention features • Key stroke logging • Clipboard logging • Max clipboard transfer size up and down • Min time between clipboard operations required • Keyboard input rate limit • Screen region selection • Deb packages for Debian, Ubuntu, and Kali Linux included in release. • RPM packages for Oracle, OpenSUSE, Fedora. RPM packages are currently not updatable and not released, though you can build and install them. See build documentation. • Web API added for remotely controlling and getting information from KasmVNC • Multi-User support with permissions that can be changed via the API • Web UI uses a webpack for faster load times. • Network and CPU bottleneck statistics • Relative cursor support (game pointer mode) • Cursor lock • IME support for languages with extended characters • Better mobile support • DRI3 GPU acceleration with open source drivers (AMDGPU,Intel,ATI,ARM) Future Goals: • H264 encoding Compiling From Source See the builder/README.md.
