Piserver and RDP

[jcorreajr]

With the end of the Pinet project (http://pinet.org.uk/blog/2020/10/27/PiNet-end-of-life.html), I am researching the possibility of using the Piserver project to connect Raspberry Pis to Microsoft Terminal Server (RDP).

I would need: . Autologin (Possible: https://github.com/raspberrypi/piserver/issues/11) . Automatic rdp connection at startup, using rdesktop (Possible, using rc script) . Centralized configuration (Possible, loading connection host variable via read-only NFS share) . Connect to different RDP servers according to the raspberry client

Does anyone already use Piserver for something like that?

I don't really use PiServer in this way, but I do use my RPi running from PiServer to connect to my school's RDP servers. Rather than rdesktop I use Remmina. They have a specific Raspberry Pi install that works great from a PiServer image: https://remmina.org/how-to-install-remmina/#raspberry-pi

I imagine you could look at start-up scripts for different Raspberry Pi images on the PiServer that launched a different Remmina settings at boot fairly easily...
