Comparing MeshCentral 2 to ScreenConnect
-
Auto-Update through "Check Server Version" has become an issue as of (roughly) 0.3.0-i. Prior to that all was well.
Syslog would show (when running auto-update):
Update completed... MeshCentral HTTP redirection server running on port 80. MeshCentral v0.3.0-p, WAN mode. MeshCentral HTTPS server running on domain.net:443. SMTP mail server smtp.gmail.com working as expectedAs you can see, MC is still on v0.3.0-p
**Edit - Also, there are no errors when clicking "show server error log"
To update, I connect via SSH
cd mc sudo systemctl stop meshcentral sudo npm install npm sudo npm install meshcentral sudo systemctl start meshcentralIf I don't run
sudo npm install npmMC will not update. No clue why I need the extra step. -
Are there ever agent updates that need to be done with MeshCentral?

Haven't seen any cases for that yet.
-
@bnrstnr When you update the MeshCentral server, it will auto-update all the agents when needed.

@pmoncho Arg. I need to investigate this NPM issue. I have not seen this problem on my own servers, but it may be an issue with a specific NPM version. I will take a look.

You guys get an premiere, I am posting this here first. I just published the all new MeshCentral Router for Windows. Allows TCP port mapping thru the MeshCentral server. Requires v0.3.0-t or later. You can RDP, PuTTY, WinSCP to remote computers. Youtube video demonstration here. Feedback & bug reports appreciated.

@Ylian oh way, that's some awesome stuff! Thanks!
-
Fired up a quick Win10 vm & tested MC2Router....pretty damn cool :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up_medium-dark_skin_tone:

Thanks Ylian.
As an FYI, I am running Ubuntu Current with current updates as of 03/18/19. If that helps anything at all.

Now I HAVE to find time to get this server setup and test it. Very cool feature.

I have 4 tasks on the front burner today all of which require the better part of a day each and then I see a new toy released that's causing an itch between my shoulder blades. Thanks Ylian. It looks quite nice.

@NashBrydges it's the best support tool I've ever used.

That be a serious understatement...
-
wow @Ylian very impressive, love the work you are putting into this project
-
Finally installed and setup thanks to @JaredBusch instructions. One question that I didn't find as I was reading through this now very long thread...is there a way to disable the create account capability on the login page? I may be dense but couldn't find this option anywhere.

@JaredBusch Thank you
-
FYI. Just updated MeshCentral Router for Windows with a new relay port map mode. You can now use a remote agent as a TCP relay to access other services on that network. Feedback on it appreciated.

@Ylian Not seeing the new "Relay Map"
I'm on 0.3.0-u
edit: let me re-check, BRB
edit: All good
