Tmux is awesome. We’ve somehow fallen into using screen at work, I think just old habits. So yes, on the other side of the ssh connections there’s usually a series of screen sessions for us to join. Should try to move onto tmux - it is nicer.

Portx, tabby and guacamole are my contenders so far. Guac would be needed for the graphical stuff - it’s sort of like a jump server running in a docker container that you would vpn into I guess? Neat concept.
That looks pretty good, cheers. Another comment mentioned Tabby, also cross platform.
Both PortX and Tabby seem a whole lot nicer than winsshterm. Shout out to guacamole for a dockerised jump sever solution.
Aha. This would make more sense - couldn’t imagine this was happening on every laptop. Then I should add my device details to a github issue. Thanks for letting me know.
I’ve explained this at length?
Single app with unified hierarchy for all systems sorted by work, home, client, prod, staging. Within each you can choose to use SSH or VNC or RDP or SFTP or scp. When copying files there’s a side by side GUI so you can browse easily. I have done this using various apps in windows for 20 years and couldn’t imagine tracking all those servers/routers/devices without a central console.
It is obviously not the same as manually making all these connections and using different apps for each of them and backing them up with git.
It absolutely isn’t the same, but I appreciate learning that this is how many linux admins manage their connections.
tabby looks neat. already has an mcp plugin - impressive.
This looks seriously impressive - and with a docker. Nice. Thank you.
This looks great - thanks!
I think I’m starting to see this workflow. I can use git to manage the files, then use bitwarden secrets for the keys if I want them backed up too. And once all the shortcuts are setup it can be made portable by syncing to another place with syncthing. Have to setup each link for each host with each app separately.
Still think it seems like manually managing bookmarks using vim and storing them outside of the web browser.
Yeah seems like Remmina is it. Termius looks nice but the price doesn’t make sense.
Surprising that not many Linux sysadmins want a central console with folders for SSH, file copy and remote desktop connections.
I dunno. The folders keep things sorted between work and home. And within work each client. And within there the prod and staging systems are separated. I guess I could make separate scripts for each host but that’s kind of what I want the manager for. Also not sure how this covers the right click, copy files workflow of scp or sftp.
It is $120 per year for a single user. And to be fair I didn’t specify a budget.
Curious though if you use terminus and think that it’s worth it? It looks slick but it costs more than my IDE.
I meant for Linux. I am not brave enough to ask for windows app recommendations on Lemmy in the Linux community
A graphical interface to store and sort the remote connections. I have 20+ remote systems I need to maintain and apps like this provide tabbed experience like a browser to connect to them.
Right you are - two finger is part of the touchpad device, and everything above is a “gesture”. This is enabled, and it works, but badly. Looks like a known issue: https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/how-to-slow-down-scrolling-speed-on-touchpad/18582
Cinnamon, Mint 22. It works, but badly. Two finger scroll does nothing for a second, then jumps to the destination. You don’t see anything in between, which is not how that interaction is meant to go (I start the gesture, realise I overshot the top of page two, then adjust back up, read the top, then keep on scrolling - all without releasing the gesture).
This thread describes it well: https://www.reddit.com/r/libreoffice/comments/enf3p4/touchpad_scroll_speed/
edit: i started digging into this again. I think it’s just sensitivity being way too high within LO. If I go one mm at a time it works as expected. But of course I want to browse docs as comfortably as I browse pages on firefox.
nah just two finger scroll. like going down from page 1 to page 2 with a touchpad
i’m on mint cinnamon 22 and have touchegg installed. They have this in built Gestures applet but it doesn’t seem to govern the two finger scroll. Touche (separate app) seems similar - its all about 3 and 4 finger gestures. Seems like the two finger scroll is special somehow.
I will check this out - thank you.
