Ah I see. The reason it complains now is that the LTSC systems are called Windows Enterprise LTSC, didn't even know that they fell under the Windows Enterprise category. You can run XPipe on a local LTSC installation, you just can&#x27

Yeah I remember that some time ago there was an attempt to make it run on BSD by some BSD users, but that didn't work out as some dependencies like the latest JavaFX version was not available for BSD yet. That is one of the disadvantag

There isn't good support for nested RDP connections, didn't even know that some people used something like this. But there is very good support for nested shell connections and tunneling RDP over SSH. If your target system isn&#x2

- When XPipe will open a terminal connection and you have specified custom shell environments / init scripts for a certain system, it will first automatically create a temporary init script on the target system in the background, which

The current KVM integration is actually more formally an integration for libvirt and the virsh command-line tool. If your hypervisor is supported by libvirt, you should already be able to use it in XPipe. If it does not support libvirt, the

Interesting, haven't heard of that before. That is not supported right now, but I can look into it. It also depends how good their CLI works for me to integrate it

On macOS there are still a few reliability problems, mostly caused by misbehaving zsh extensions that I have to work around. I replied to your issue report, I think this should be fixable.

There's only one release build which contains all feature implementations, but some of them are locked behind the plans. So to some degree, they are artificial as there isn't currently a separate build for the Homelab and Professi

Are you using the LTSC version on your desktop or also for some of your remote systems? I think if it's only for the desktop, I can fix that as that isn't really intended to be limited to the Professional version. Didn't real

Yeah, I think something like that will be properly supported once I get around to implementing an aws integration in the future

by crschnick 2y ago
That is true, but ideally with XPipe you can do that easier and faster. And with the time and effort you save each month, the few $ per month can be good deal for you.

Now I don't fully know the details of your setup, but in general XPipe just works on top of your kubectl installation. So it will only work if you could manually connect to your clusters via kubectl in a terminal. But you can always ju

Whoops, it seems like some links were not updated yet. That should be just https://docs.xpipe.io/cli To preface that, the CLI is only very basic. The only real thing you can do with it is launch shell connections. For more

I think everyone cares about updates to some degree. Doesn't have to be about big feature updates, just continuous fixes for various small bugs and performance improvements can improve you user experience quite a bit. If you used XPipe

Considering the costs of a more serious homelab, I think paying $5 a month for a tool that can save you some time and effort, can be reasonable. Of course only if you see the value for yourself. That value comes from more features than just

by crschnick 2y ago
On the pricing page, you can find a feature matrix. The advanced SSH features are basically things like smartcard support, custom Pkcs#11 libraries, etc.

The goal of XPipe is to be connection hub that brings together your tools, not really replace them. For example with RDP and remmina, XPipe has an integration for remmina to launch RDP connections directly, making it easier for you to quick

What os are you using? And about adversity to subscriptions, note that you can also obtain lifetime licenses further down the pricing page.

by crschnick 2y ago
Not yet. But it is definitely on my roadmap for the future to provide an integration for aws in general, maybe also including SSM

by crschnick 2y ago
Note that there are also lifetime plans available later down the pricing page.

Alright, fair point. I will change that on the website, you can still write me an email to request that

So far I'm happy with the choice. The ecosystem is mature, the build tools (maven/gradle) are solid to build this more complicated project, JavaFX works well enough to realize cross-platform applications, and the performance with

Great that it works for you. I also struggled a lot with setting up various different types of tunnels initially, especially more complex ones. That was one of the motivations why I started developing it.

That is implemented under the assumption that these distros are most of the time used in enterprise contexts. I know that this is not always the case, there is the option to upgrade to a license at no cost to the next tier if you’re only us

by crschnick 2y ago
Thanks! Yes, you can find lifetime licenses on the pricing page further down. A perpetual fallback license model like jetbrains has does not exist yet. But I could look into this in the future. It's cool to see that there are also othe

Thanks, that means a lot to a full stack developer like me

by crschnick 2y ago
Can you elaborate on that? Then I can better respond to your specific points on why it shouldn't be used
30.
by crschnick 2y ago
I fully get that. The reason why it focuses on the subscription model is that is quite difficult to plan ahead with an irregular revenue stream. Everything is financed via bootstrapping, so I can't afford to burn through money or have
