I really like what I'm seeing out of it so far, for sure.
Has anybody tested the Chat features? I can't seem to get that working between two computers on my network. (Tried both Windows and Linux).
File uploading works for me.
Chat did not work for us.

@scottalanmiller I'm on latest version but haven't seen the invite link, I'll have to double check though.

Did you set up SMTP?
-
@scottalanmiller I haven't yet no, does the link only appear once you have entered SMTP settings?

Correct

Ok, on the same fedora minimal install, I install nodemailer and created an email.js file with following code:
var nodemailer = require('nodemailer'); var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({ host: '10.254.0.96', port: 25, secure: false, //true --> will use ssl }); var mailOptions = { from: '[email protected]', to: '[email protected], [email protected]', subject: 'Hello', text: 'Hello world', html: '<b>Hello world </b>' }; transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, info) { if (error) { console.log(error); } else { console.log('Message sent: ' + info.response); } transporter.close(); });
And then I ran
node email.js
and was able to send and received emails.But when I add the host, port, from, and tls information I don't see the invite link or can verify emails.
"smtp": { "host": "10.254.0.96", "port": 25, "from": "[email protected]", "tls": false }
Besides that everything else is awesome.

@black3dynamite - I noticed that sometimes when you make changes to the json file and restart the services, you need to close your browser completely and even clear your history at times for the page to show updates properly.

0.2.5-l is out.

Update caused me error.

Update worked for me.

Last update worked fine for me, I will just reinstall new version.

Do you know if this works with Windows CE/Embedded Compact? I can't get ScreenConnect working there, and it's come up a couple times for us.
-
@StuartJordan Just fixed that problem. Published v0.2.5-m a few minutes ago.

Not likely. CE is ancient.

Updating now.

@bnrstnr No WinCE support in MeshCentral. People still use that? I have not used WinCE since my last Nav system in my old car and my HP PocketPC a long time ago.

And we are on 0.2.5-m now.

@syko24 For SMTP setup. When the server is started, it will perform a check of the SMTP server to make sure it's working. When running the server manually you should see the line "SMTP mail server... working as expected". If not, you should see an error. Can you try and report back what you see? - Thanks.
