In Neurodesktop, the RDP connection (via the web browser) does not permit to two clients to connect at the same time, whereas the VNC connection (via web browser, that existed in older versions) does allow it. Is it a limitation of RDP, or are multiple connections can be enabled with some effort? |

Yes, I don’t think that RDP supports connections from multiple clients. You can enable VNC using the —vnc command line flag when starting the docker container. @aswinnarayanan is this flag documented somewhere? |

Interesting. I might look into this, as I'm interested if this is really a limitation of the RDP protocol per-se or just an implementation issue. Thanks for documenting the VNC option, very useful. I just wonder -- is there any reason why the flag both enables VNC and disables RDP? (why can't I have both, like before?). I can see a scenario where users by default work on the RDP connection (as it much faster), and that I use the VNC connection to connect to their neurodesktop only when in need to diagnose or check things. Re the overheads introduced by VNC: is it only starting time or resources, or is it making the neurodesktop slower in general even if resources are abundant? |
