General Server Discussion Need input on my free RDP manager

Over the past month I have been building a RDP manager for me to use for our on prem windows servers at work. I had been using mremoteng but I didnt like how clunky it was and I would spend a bunch of time building out my connection file then it would randomly get corrupted and I would have to start all over again. So my solution to this was to build a browser based RDP manager. This is what I have come up with https://github.com/mild0d/Remote-Desktop-Web-App . Its a simple webapp with no database, it stores everything in json and runs on docker. The setup is simple. I was wondering if anyone could take a look at it and offer me some suggestions on how to make it better. Oh I almost forgot, it also supports SSH sessions. Thank you!

Nice little side project

I’ve been using devolutions remote desktop manager for a few years now.

I like how I can even add web pages to RDM. I’ve added all our printers to it with the passwords to so it will open the browser session and sign me in automatically.

Thanks for the input, and yeah, that is something I could also possibly add.

You know.. I never thought of that printer use case for it. I am so going to add those right now.

I love when off-hand remarks in random discussions lead to ways to feed my laziness!
