Comparing MeshCentral 2 to ScreenConnect
-
updating now
-
FYI. Just published MeshCentral v0.4.5-b, this is a super-update because it includes the next generation MeshAgent. You can check Twitter for updates, but this version includes a new remote desktop privacy bar, wallpaper toggling, improved Windows terminal and more.
-
@Ylian Another trick in MeshCentral v0.4.5-b is that the MeshAgent should be able to be installed within a Docker container. We will start testing that a bit more. Should be useful to manage what is going on inside server containers remotely.
-
When was this available? I have MeshCentral set to auto updates so I don't know when this options was available.
-
Just updated to it here.
-
@black3dynamite I posted about an hour after I published MeshCentral v0.4.5-b. If you are set to auto-update, your server will generally check between midnight and 1am for any updates. So, 24 hours after I publish a new version, you should have it.
-
0.4.5-c is out, but I don't see notes in Twitter as to what is new in it.
-
@scottalanmiller The best way to see the smaller changes between releases is to look at GitHub commit log. MeshCentral v0.4.5-c has a first pass at a Czech translation, a bit better French translation, Internalization improvements, support for "MpsAliasHost" in settings section of config.json.
I just post on Twitter major changes. The quick releases are to fix issues on GitHub or respond to specific requests.
-
@Ylian 0.4.5-e and searching is no longer working, at least not reliably. Very odd. Not ready to file a bug report because I can't figure out how to reproduce it yet.
-
How do you go about updating the Agents already installed? How are people handling this?
-
@scottalanmiller Published MeshCentral v0.4.5-f that should fix a problem with the web application.
@hobbit666 When you update the server, all agents are automatically updated. -

What operating systems does the MeshCentral Agent support?
-
Ok, after reviewing, I am seeing Linux and Windows. What about Macs?

Its been working great at work. I also use it to help friends and family.
Remote Desktop doesn't work with Linux distros that is using Wayland session.
When you want to remote desktop into a Linux distro, make sure you are using Xorg.
It doesn't work with Wayland.
