I have started lately using Apache Guacamole.
The problem I am facing is that I want to find a way to have Linux Remote Applications over RDP ( as windows RemoteApp does).
Is there any way to have just a single Linux application using xrdp or freerdp?
I have tried the initial_program option but this brings the whole desktop with the application running.
If none of them works is there any other way?
As far as I understand, in Guacamole, only via RDP there might be a chance to bring a single Linux app. Neither VNC nor SSH can be used for that purpose.

I know linux does not support IIS, since it requires Windows to exist on your machine.
I'm developing a .net core application, that needs to run in the end on an IIS server. This needs to stay as is, since it's the clients application I'm developing.
Currently my workstation is running Windows, so developing and hosting the application on local server is easy and straight forward using IISExpress.
To be honest I don't like Windows, since it has so many unknown parts running and doing weird stuff, is pretty slow and I don't have the customizability that I want, so I would prefer to use a linux based operating system.
There comes the problem - running IIS based applications is not possible on a local maschine using a linux operating system.
My first idea was to create an IIS docker and publish my application there, but that won't also work, since docker uses parent operating system kernel and IIS docker app requires a Windows based parent system.
The second idea was to use an external server, host IIS there and publish (or remote develop) the app there, but that gives me another system to worry about.
My ideal solution would be fully localized. IIS app running on the same machine.
Does anyone have experience with similar situations?
What would be the best solution here?
I have a remote machine that runs Ubuntu 14.04. It is powered on, but not logged into. I am writing a web application using Node.js that takes a username and password and logs in to this machine. This application is supposed to run on an Android tablet. I am not going to send further commands through the terminal, so I don't really require the session, but just logging in so that the remote machine starts running some processes.
I'm having trouble on how to start coding this. I'm not sure about what Node module to use, and whether or not to use the SSH protocol.
I've gone through a couple of solutions to related questions on the internet, but they either don't work on Android, or need the remote machine to be running some server already(which is not the case here, as the machine is not logged into).
Has anyone successfully used XRDP/freeRDP to remote login to a Windows PC from a LINUX Client? I did some research on the matter and I found there may be incompatibility issues. However those posts were quite old.
I would like to use the latest XRDP or freeRDP
The site says the following:
"The goal of this project is to provide a fully functional Linux terminal server, capable of accepting connections from rdesktop, freerdp, and Microsoft's own terminal server / remote desktop clients.
Unlike Windows NT/2000/2003/2008/2012 server, xrdp will not display a Windows desktop but an X window desktop to the user.
So it sounds like I can communicate between a Linux Box and Windows. But it sounds like the Windows PC can only be the client logging into a Linux Server and not vice-versa."
Is this true?
That's not true. You can using a freeRDP client in Linux connecting to a server on Windows. I've just tried the latest freeRDP code in Ubuntu, and I've tested Win7/Win10, both are OK.
Follow the instruction of freeRDP in the following link:
https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/wiki/Compilation
and hope you make it.
Ps: There may be some connectivity issues, like firewall or something, just google it.
I'm looking at setting up a gitlab server (using a linux machine) with several devs on Windows PCs using it. I basically wanted to know if that's possible? I can't seem to find a definitive answer!
Thanks!
Yes, it's definitely possible. I'm using just the same - GitLab hosted on a Linux server while devs are on both Windows and Linux (VMs running on Windows).
Techically, there's no difference to it. You use SSH and HTTPS for client-server communication which are standard platform independent protocols. It's the same as using github.com, gitlab.com or any other such provider from any operating system.
The place I work has Gitlabs deployed can be on a linux server, while developers can be on either Windows or Linux desktops.
Git makes use of SSH and to connect to remote clients and Windows doesn't support SSH out of the box, however the installer for git comes bundled with all the features you will need to run a shell and connect to a remote server via SSH on windows. It also includes a basic UI, Git-Gui. You can download the installer from http://git-scm.com.
I want to develop a web application which will be able to run the linux services at remote machine. So what technology i must use and what are the steps i need to perform.
don't develop one, use webmin instead
