One thing does MeshCentral have a landing page for clients to connect to? Like Screenconnect does?
i.e. the home page where the client can click on their session, run the program then i can connect?
No. They have to download and run the agent. But you could build your own page for that and host the agent file as well.

Yeah, a few options for you that would make it work similarly.

This is an interesting suggestion! Can someone send a screen shot of that this landing page look like on other products?
FYI. Started work on a night-mode user interface for MeshCentral. It's in v0.3.4-b, but need to do a bunch more work to get it nice.

@scottalanmiller was saying MongoDB just changed licensing so they pulled it from the Fedora repo.

The MeshCentral guide Specifically says to use the mongo specific repo. I linked that in my Fedora guide the other day.

I'm using the Vultr instance with 1GB RAM and 25GB SSD, with Ubuntu 18.10 and with only 8 agent sessions connected, RAM usage is at 62 Mb free, 983 Mb total.
Is this normal?

Yup, that's normal. Agents really use just about no RAM. Doesn't change as you go to hundreds of agents. At least not for us.

Cool. Thanks mate.

This is what I have on a 19.04 install...
119 Mb free, 983 Mb total
I think 19.04 is a little lighter than 18.04, so not surprised.

I just upgraded to the latest release (sorry, don't remember the ver,) but I get this now. I rebooted the server, and still the same. any ideas?

You are trying to run something from your home directory for your user. Try installing under /opt as root.

@scottalanmiller not that i know of (remember, I don't use or care for linux, but will use it if need).. I only use this for MC. I followed the directions for auto start I believe from the MC website.. I'll try find that.
All other updates went without issues. Just this last one.

npm install meshcentralThanks, get this
-
@smartkid808 you need to run that in the location where MeshCentral is installed.
-
@scottalanmiller Not sure if this is the right location, I followed the steps in the install manual during initial install.. But I assume its this location " ./node_modules/meshcentral"
I switch to that directory and then get these errors
-
@smartkid808 that's a relative location, relative to where you are at the time. Do this...
find / -name meshcentral
