Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Just use the rdp wrapper. https://www.helpwire.app/blog/remote-desktop-for-windows-10-home/
It works, i've used it in professional settings no worries
This solution doesn't seem to work. It says not supported on newer versions of windows.
The support page on the github says something about updating an ini but there are no inis and I don't know where to put this ini
Just because you've used it professionally, doesn't mean it's OK.
Even without disassembling their shim DLL, just their readme language and installer code doesn't give me warm fuzzies about this software's ability to survive legal scrutiny or a Microsoft audit.
Just like with backups, in my professional IT Admin opinion: if its expensive enough to need remote access, it's expensive enough to remote access the right way. There's plenty of free remote options on Windows that don't require monkey patching the core services and using a Home license professionally. Plus, if you have more than a few Windows installs, you probably want Group Policy anyways, so you're up to the pro license key for that anyway, plus the Windows Server license key(s) for the AD controller.
Yeah, windows is expensive when used professionally. If you need windows that badly deal with it or talk to your software vendors about getting Linux or Mac software.
