RemoteDesktop for OMV5?

Zitat von Huberer

Thanks, I will give it a try

If docker is not what you want to use for rdp you can select your environment with the command (as root)

tasksel

next you can :

apt install xrdp tigervnc-standalone-server

then you can connect from windows rdp (select xvnc not xorg)

Nope. I did suggest the docker image that I have been using that works extremely well in this post - https://forum.openmediavault.o…?postID=186122#post186122

Hi,

I'm currently moving my plugins to Docker containers where possible. I also installed the mentioned RDP-Docker (https://hub.docker.com/r/danielguerra/ubuntu-xrdp) and that works in principle. But, I have to questions:

• It's painfully slow, especially typing! It's also much, much slower than the previously used OMV-plugin. Is there anything that can be done?
• I was able to change the user password, but that was not persistent. After restarting the container, the default password had to be used? How can I make this persistent?

Thanks for any hints!

Not sure why. They do the same thing. What kind of system?

You would have to modify the dockerfile to expose the /etc directory since it is only exposing these two: VOLUME ["/etc/ssh","/home"]

It's in i7 5th generation, so that shouldn't be a problem...

Thanks for the hint with the dockerfile!

Thanks, I preferred this method because the danielguerra/ubuntu-xrdp image was also painfully slow for me, I'm not experienced enough to change the password in that docker without a step-by-step guide and would have taken more work to use as a file manager because the media shares aren't mounted.

I did struggle to get it working; got some "VNC error - problem connecting - some problem" errors initially in the connection log. and had to

mkhomedir_helper username

to create the homedir where xrdp writes session settings.I also installed xorgxrdp.

Hi guys,

I need help here - I installed OMV5 and I need to have RDP root access for easier file management etc.

-> I tried the https://hub.docker.com/r/danielguerra/ubuntu-xrdp Docker but had permission issues that I could not delete / move files.

-> I tried the apt install xrdp way and after sign-in just got a blank / green screen.

Can anyone help?

Hi macom,

thanks for your answer. I found a solution in the meantime. I created a new user instead of the default "ubuntu" one and then mounted my hard disks to the container. Everything works now but I agree that the container is way to oversized for my file management tasks.

Thanks for highlighting doublecommander, I will definitely take a look!

Might help if you show how you installed the docker container. Post the docker-compose file, docker command or screenshots from Portainer.

Depending on what you want to achieve, maybe something like doublecommander would be sufficient as well

https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/doublecommander

Or even midnight commander from CLI.

When you entered tasksel did you definitely select a desktop environment? I picked Xfce and the steps worked I just used Xorg instead

tasksel

# select the environment (eg Xfce)

apt install xrdp xorgxrdp

# connect from rdp client (select xvnc not xorg only if using tigervnc*)

Hi Guys, I had the same problem with the blank screen. What I did:

Fix a permissions problem with /etc/xrdp/ that caused the following error in /var/log/xrdp.log:

[ERROR] Cannot read private key file /etc/xrdp/key.pem: Permission denied

With this command:

sudo adduser xrdp ssl-cert

With the xfce which was installed by tasksel I did not get it to work. What helped was:

sudo apt-get install xfce4

Then add the line

xfce4-session to the .xsession by with this command:

echo xfce4-session >~/.xsession
