Asked By CuriousCoder42 On

I'm in the education sector and need a reliable remote desktop solution for online classes. We want the students to connect to their own preconfigured Linux remote machines during lessons, and there are a few must-have features: a smooth streaming experience, browser access, the ability for teachers to observe sessions, and the option for teachers to take control of student sessions. It would also be nice to skip authentication and keep costs under $12 per student per month. I'm considering NoMachine, but it doesn't allow skipping authentication. I'm also interested in guidance on implementing this solution, likely using AWS services like EC2 or ECS.

I can vouch for Apache Guacamole as a solid choice. It handles browser access and allows for teacher-student control. I started setting up a demo on AWS, but it's a bit tricky. Just to confirm, does it adjust remote desktop resolution to fit the size of the browser window? Seems like an important feature!

RustDesk is another option that comes highly recommended. It's open source, so you could self-host it, but I haven't tried it myself. It might be worth exploring!

Have you looked into Apache Guacamole? It's designed specifically for browser access and lets you control remote sessions, which sounds like it would meet most of your needs! Check it out [here](https://guacamole.apache.org/).
