Omnissa/Citrix VDI Alternative-ish
-
Howdy!!
I figured I'd drop this here for anyone who is looking for a VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, not the disk one, stupid acronyms) solution that isn't cloud-based or costs an absurd amount. I know that there is a small interest from posts like this, and maybe other victims of Broadcom's (and Omnissa's by extension) pricing will stumble here as well
.I am labeling XBroker as "Virtual Desktop Session (VDS)" as to not collide with Xen's "VDI". Please be gentle with the feedback! This is only my second Python "program" I've ever written, so I'm sure best practice has not been followed

Works great with xcp-ng -
@msupport I've seen it before, but is it free and open source? I've tried figuring out how to install OpenUDS, but couldn't find the docs However, it's been a while

UDS version 3.5 had a 10 user version for free
For version 3.6 und 4.0 you have to pay -
@msupport Right! I'm sure it's a great product, the goal for this is to have no licenses, unlimited users, ported for several hypervisors. It's just a pet project I've wanted to do since I started in IT, and if other people besides me can use it, great! I know one of my employers may work on making it a polished project if the Omnissa renewal is too expensive. And if I can build it, why pay for it? I might not be a programmer by trade, but there's no reason I can't learn and ask around for help!
