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 .

@fatek One primary domain controller is replicated to an off-site location using the "Continuous Replication" feature every hour using snapshot mode "with memory". The "Full Backup" interval is set to 6. This guide is followed for most of the infrastructure.

However, other LDAP servers are used for authentication and source(s) of truth, so it's a bit more complicated.

@nathanael-h Dang, do any of you sleep?! This is pretty much what I need, and would actually significantly improve what I'm building! Will wait_for_ip be included? As well as the rest of the Terraform logic?

But as you're building a Python script you could implements there the same logic: define a variable for your expected cidr, and poll the IP of the VM until it matches.

Duhh, Why didn't I think of that . Thanks for the help!!

That's what it was. For whatever reason, ubuntu defaults to installing these versions for node and npm respectively:
v12.22.9
8.5.1

Following the steps here fixed it. As always, thanks!!
