January 11, 20242 yr Since the vmware/broadcom announcement, I have been looking at alternatives to Horizon 8 for my VDI needs. Currently I have numerous Windows/Linux VMs streamed across my household and thought about using UNRAID/KVM to achieve a similar set up. At which point, I stumbled across a company and some software called Ravada. https://ravada.upc.edu/index.html It uses KVM and acts a VDI broker with the ability to share USB devices too! Before I jump right in, has anyone seen this before and have some experience with it? My plan is to deploy it as a docker container and create a pool of Windows 11 VMs.
January 12, 20242 yr Author For anyone that wants to give this a try, here are the docker instructions - https://ravada.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docs/INSTALLfromDockers.html I managed to get the front/back/mysql containers to run but the WEB UI for RAVADA does not pass the admin login and eventually times out. I suspect there's some post config required to get this to work under UNRAID.
