RDesktop Connection Arguments #129

Closed ryanparsons7 closed 2 years ago

ryanparsons7 commented 2 years ago

Hi, I've been looking at using the rdesktop image to create RDP sessions to an internal host. Image: https://hub.docker.com/r/kasmweb/rdesktop

However, I've not been able to figure out how to modify this image's configuration to auto-connect to a specific host, only opening the session to rdesktop and the session being empty with just the kasm logo in the background.

I've tried adding the following into the "Docker Run Config Override" but to no success: {"environment":{"APP_ARGS":"192.168.1.4"}}

Thanks.

The structure of your Docker Run Config Override is correct.

A challenge you may be facing is that rdesktop doesnt spit any errors visible to the screen, so you won't really know what the issue is.

Here are some steps to help you troubleshoot. While the session container is running...

  1. Get the ID of the container
sudo docker ps | grep rdesktop
  1. Exec into the container
sudo docker exec -it <container id> bash
  1. Then try to run rdesktop
rdesktop <server address>

You may also consider using Remmina https://hub.docker.com/r/kasmweb/remmina Your Docker Run Config might look something like this.

{"environment":{"APP_ARGS":"-c rdp://192.168.1.4"}}
