Summary
Using available terminal servers at the space, rollout a system that provides Xorg based terminals, using a managed desktop. Place clients around the space so members can always open up a linux desktop without requiring a nearby laptop.
Architecture
The dektop itself should run as a virtual machine on erratic. The clients should be able to connect to an xdmcp service running on the aformentioned virtual machine
Desktop
Currenty the desktop runs as a debian 12 vm on erratic, with the hostname ts.vm.nurd.space. The machine is configured to use LDAP logins and has the home directories mounted read-write. The server is currently configured with the following services:
- LightDM for logins
- Xfce4 for desktop
- Firefox as the browser
The following additional windowmanagers are installed
- Windowmaker
- Enlightenment
- Blackbox
Clients
The clients can be anything that is able to make an xdmcp connection. We currently have one PoC HP terminal running in zaal1 with archlinux. This terminal will connect to ts.vm.nurd.space during boot. We should standardize this on Debian.
