      Fedora is working now.

      Don't know why, installed again and it worked.

      Did the install on Fedora require any different or additional steps compared to the Ubuntu instructions?

      What flavor of Fedora did you use?

      I think the Fedora install might have only been the client side, not the server side.

      indeed

        ...so, no Wayland issues? Java dependency isn't mentioned anywhere :thumbs_up:
        I'm a paid user of ConnectWise Access and luckily I predominantly support Windows PCs and Servers, as the ConnectWise Linux agent is less than ideal.

        No Wayland issues yet.

        There is no Java anywhere.

        It is all nodejs from what I saw.

        Yup, haven't seen anything that isn't NodeJS. But no idea what the agents are written in.

          Thx for pointing that out.

            We are adding users and devices like crazy as we switch more and more to MC. Here is our current status.

              Are you using MongoDB yet?

                No, haven't seen any need for it yet. The system is still lightning fast.

                  Does the software establish a connection outside the managed network or do you have to vpn to the network to reach the management server?

                      It all runs on HTTPS connections.

                        I asked if I need to be on the highway to get to my destination, or if I can take surface streets and you told me to use snow tires. WTF?

                          It depends on how you setup MeshCentral and how lockdown your devices and/or network is.
                          With MeshCentral, you can set it up has a LAN only, WAN only or LAN+WAN (hybrid).
                          You can also restrict access via IP address for User or Agent.

                                  I mean it's up to you how you want to design it. I would say putting it behind a VPN is the smart way to do it. Like mentioned earlier, it isn't necessary. However, it greatly reduces your attack surface.

                                          That's exactly what we are doing.

                                            Does the software establish a connection outside the managed network or do you have to vpn to the network to reach the management server?

                                            It all runs on HTTPS connections.

                                            I asked if I need to be on the highway to get to my destination, or if I can take surface streets and you told me to use snow tires. WTF?

                                            I mean it's up to you how you want to design it. I would say putting it behind a VPN is the smart way to do it. Like mentioned earlier, it isn't necessary. However, it greatly reduces your attack surface.

                                            What attack surface? The only thing you access is the web interface.

                                            That's still a surface. Why even let attackers get to a management server to attempt a brute force or DoD?
