wgstarks Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I've seen several references to running teamviewer sessions on unRAID and it seemed like a good idea to go ahead and install the docker/plugin since I'm considering putting in a support request with LT, but I haven't been able to find anything in CA or via Google searches. Just wondering how everyone is installing it? Link to comment
ashman70 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Probably on their computer that they use to manage unRAID through a web browser. I doubt that you can actually install Team Viewer on unRAID itself. Link to comment
Helmonder Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Teamviewer is available for linux so you could run it in a VM.. There are also dockers (though possible not ported to unraid). However with teamviewer running natively you could only see a telnet window or possible the local GUI.. You would need a docker (or VM) with teamviewer running as well as a browser and a telnet client.. That way you could use it.. I do this (although from a windows vm that I happened to have) Link to comment
wgstarks Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 I don't have any VM's setup, so I'm guessing the best approach would be to install teamviewer on one of my macs on the same network (thanks ashman70) and let JonP access the unRAID machine from there. Not sure exactly how they have their support sessions setup, but since it's done on an hourly rate I'd prefer not to waste time if it can be avoided. Link to comment

That said, a Docker would reduce the complexity of the task, especially for anyone who is not familiar with VMs. Also, there is a fairly considerable subset of people who's unRaid setups cannot support VMs at all. As far as security, which would pose less risk (as far as exposing your network to the world)? A VM or a Docker? Could one be more locked down then the other? Link to comment

That is a hard one and I am not really qualified to give an answer.. It would be my assumption that a VM can be more "hardened" and is more "seperated" from the rest of the system.. Link to comment
RobJ Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Now if someone wants to modify the unRAID boot GUI to include TeamViewer ... I doubt if anyone from Lime Technology could do it - due to licensing restrictions. Link to comment
gfjardim Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Now if someone wants to modify the unRAID boot GUI to include TeamViewer ... I tried once. The problem I hit was include 32bit multilib and make it work. If TeamViewer had a 64bit binary, the work would be cut in half. Link to comment

Seems a little odd they don't have a 64 bit version ... Link to comment
ashman70 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 They seem to have 64bit versions for Linux https://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/previous-versions/ Link to comment

I doubt if anyone from Lime Technology could do it - due to licensing restrictions. The local guinwas made to be able to use the system from console... if you need to use it from another device then that is alteady possible using the webgui.. Unraid is not hardened for internet facing, but that is not an issue, vpn is easy to setup. Preferably outside of the array though, to make sure it is available when the array is started.. a docker for example will not be. Personally I think a router is the most logical place for a vpn server.. Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk Link to comment
JonathanM Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Personally I think a router is the most logical place for a vpn server..For managing apps and machines, it's the only logical choice. For remote file access and media streaming, the poor little cpu in most routers can't handle the encryption throughput. A standalone pfsense box on decent hardware or a VPN docker in unraid will have much better bandwidth. Link to comment

Wasn't aware of that. Link to comment
gfjardim Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 They seem to have 64bit versions for Linux https://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/previous-versions/ Yep, but they require either multiarch or ia32lib, and that mean loads of packages we need to install to make it work.

Helmonder Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I have a mikrotik router, it works fine for streaming, but i must admit it is somthing like a performance beast.. Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk Link to comment
