April 27, 20179 yr Hi. Since it's so easy to create VMs with unraid, I've set up a few. HOW do you access your VMs? How do you get the best performance? Is it using RDP? VNC? I know with hardware passthrough, we get best performance. But is there an economical way to access the server from a distance with native performance aside from being right beside it?

April 27, 20179 yr RDP performs best on windows in my experience. Second place is splashtop Third place is team viewer. None of those deliver native performance. Teamviewer is suppose to deliver 60fps for business accounts. Never used it though.
April 27, 20179 yr Author Ok. But what if you need to RDP into Linux? Will that work as well? Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
April 27, 20179 yr ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjftLf2xcTTAhUJYiYKHanMCVwQPAgD#hl=en&q=rdp+linux

Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk Most linux distros include a VNC server out of the box ready to configure. Setting up XRDP is something you would need to do manually. RDP is a microsoft protocol.
April 27, 20179 yr Author Does XRDP perform better than VNC? And RDP comes with audio. VNC doesn't, am I correctSent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

VNC doesn't, am I correct Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk XRDP uses VNC as a backend, so I doubt it''s going to be better than plain VNC. Remote desktop audio is going to be an issue with a linux host. FreeRDP may work, I have no experience with it.
April 28, 20179 yr Author Yes, pretty much want to have Moonlight. But can it stream desktop? Videos on YouTube mostly show when they start Moonlight, it shows a console like interface, like Xbox. Can it start with a desktop interface instead? Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
April 28, 20179 yr Quote Follow the steps above for adding a custom program, but for the path use: C:\windows\system32\mstsc.exe You can rename the remote desktop entry using the edit button. When you click this entry, you will see your full desktop where you can run whatever you want. https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-docs/wiki/Setup-Guide#using-moonlight-to-stream-your-entire-desktop
April 28, 20179 yr Author I assume you with this type of setup, you can literally play 3D games, and watch YouTube right? Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
April 28, 20179 yr Author Another follow-up question is, can moonlight stream from a Virtual LInux desktop? Or does it stream Virtual Windows desktop only? Of course, premise is I already have an Nvidia GTX video card with GPU passthrough configured within unraid.
May 3, 20188 yr Only good thing to remote control a VM is Windows to Windows. Linux is not god enough. In my case the unraid client cant do @ sign and no full screen 1080/4K. Google remote desktop is a joke and Team Viewer is not handy any longer for free user. MS RDP Remote Desktop is good but only from Windows VM to Windows machine.
