Hey, XPipe dev here!
I really liked your video, it provides a very good introduction and showcase for the project. It is also really interesting from a developer's perspective seeing you use the application and your thought process on how to accomplish certain things in it.
Your community has been great and very helpful as many of them tried it out, shared feedback, and reported bugs. Over the last few weeks I was able to publish several releases dedicated to just fixing the reported issues, so it should be more stable now. Some of the confusing elements, e.g. the missing bash shell mentioned in the video, have also been improved.
There are also many longer term goals added to my todo list after feedback from your community and I am confident that these will be eventually implemented.
From the comments here, I also noticed that some people are unhappy with the monetization, design decisions, and stack choices. I guess that is understandable, you can never make everyone happy. There are always compromises you have to take, and in this case I tried to find the right balance between free open source and monetization.
So thank you for effort you put into this video, it really helped the project a lot going forward.
It is my pleasure, and from the bottom of my heart thank you for this great open source software! It is really amazing and so very useful. Love that the community is helping you make it better and better!
Great work! It help us to streamline our workflow.
Incredible application, 10/10!
@crschnick You guys rock!
So as a status update, all issues that were mentioned in the video and in the comments here should now be fixed. Overall it is now in a much more stable state and there are also a number of new features. The website and pricing page has also been reworked as it could be confusing.
By the gods, how the hell am i living without this til now.
Wow just wow.
It is indeed a really nice bit of software.
Hello Brian, it's simply amazing, thank you so much for sharing it with us, it's much appreciated.
Absolutely my pleasure!
Great Video Brian. The team behind this project really did a great job. Thank you to let us know about it.
My pleasure!
Wow wow wow wow wow! Incredible tool! I have been struggling to get File Server working properly in docker on a VPS and this basically does the same thing with way less effort. This is so easy to use and does so much. Absolutely incredible! Amazing video, thank you!
I’ve really been loving this tool.
This is pretty impressive. The docker connector alone make it extra interesting.
Indeed! I’ve been using it for a ton of connections and it’s just been so great.
Awesome Tool!!!! Thank you for this one. Testing on a Mac now... so far, I love it.
Great to hear!
Excellent, as a non-IT-guy I've been searching for a toll exactly like this. Thank you!
My pleasure, this is a really awesome tool.
Thanks for the demo and info, have a great day
My pleasure, and you too,
Since I've set up my first homelab, I started appreciating open source projects so much. Would to support them
That's awesome!
Hi Brian, once again a really good tool with lots of great functions that make everyday life easier. Really cool!
Thanks, glad you like it.
Please take a look at cronicle task scheduler, a super cool open source, web based central task server with notification. Perfect for homelab.
Thanks for this presentation, this looks awesome.
I agree! It’s really some great software.
Well that's a gem! Thanks for that tip!
Happy to help!
great video about a very good tool. can't wait to play with it.
Hope you enjoy it!
Man! This is exactly what I was looking for since I started playing with Linux. I could not believe that people take Putty as their default SSH Terminal. While it does most of the features that you need but I always wanted something advanced with tabs/split screen or even file browser.
Big thank you for this!
Honestly, just spend an hour playing around with screen/tmux as well as mc (midnight commander), they are available pretty much everywhere without relying on one-man software projects that come and go.
You can immediately use ssh from the terminal. No need to use putty for that.
I like this for the direct access to docker containers. It really is a terrific add.
just ssh username@remote_host -p 1234
Man! That's really cool!!!
It's awesome! Used it just the other day to fix a little glitch in my NPM server. Worked like a charm!
Nice channel.
Thanks for the videos and tips.
Thanks for watching!
I've been playing around with it now for a few hours. Nice utility. Needs a few things. Copy/Duplicate entries, export to a file so you can import all your hosts/settings to another machine. Change the defaults to make adding new hosts easier. I like it, it's pretty good, I like that you can specify the terminal to use too. Thanks again for finding it and sharing
I think it will get more polish as it goes, so looking forward to seeing how they grow.
Wow! This looks amazing. Gotta try this out. Even as a homelabber, if it's as good as it looks here, it'll be worth the $50 just to support the project.
Please do! It's really good, and getting better all the time.
Wow, great tool and looks like it can be a substitute for tabby
It doesn’t do the terminal emulation, but it has all the extras that make tabby so good.
thanks for this.
My pleasure!
Looks good, I’ll try when RDP is supported.
Awesome!
Awesome
Open Source
Indeed!
Great video as always! Just a heads up, maybe you intended to blur the password at 23:21 if it's also used on other accounts and services of yours :)
Thanks, I may have missed it for sure. Time to update passwords.
I have been using vscode ssh extension to connect to my linux vm. But it might be too heavy to use it just as a terminal. I am considering using this xpipe now.
I really like it, and they just keep coming out with more updates. A super powerful tool.
nextcloud aio running 👍
That's awesome!
Where do you find all of these great open source software projects I have been looking for a main hub of this type software
I just prown the web constantly keeping an eye out for anything interesting or nifty. Mostly Lemmy and Mastodon.
Seems like more work but still a good project and could have long term potential
Agree 100%. Excited to see where it goes.
Damn I didn't realize Nextcloud All-in-One is so superior now. I need to switch. But why do you have multiple containers? Is it normal? Redis, Talk, Office?
Nextcloud is really awesome! It’s a lot of separate containers for the various parts in thr AIO solution. It’s the right way to run it, as you could remove parts if you don’t want them.
@@AwesomeOpenSource ah okay I just saw one image in DockerHub. But it seems to be way better than what I'm doing with a custom image based on the normal Nextcloud fpm image
i was just looking for something exactly like this because terminus sucks
I hope this can fill the void.
cool idea, but needs some bug fixing on windows to live up to its potential. on windows it annoyingly decides that my new connections (to linux hosts) are scripts rather than connections and when using SSH configs from remote hosts it does allow you to select a password but not a different SSH key and for some reason it does not seem to use the SSH key given in the remote's SSH config.
This, I'm sure, could be a great request for enhancement, and bug fixing on their github issues. Just make sure to provide good steps to re-create the issue. What version of Windows you're on, and connecting to (e.g. Win 10 home or pro, to Win 11 Pro, etc). All those details can help them work things out.
A day later and still reading through the EULA 📖
Sometimes it's a bit tedious for sure.
What about RDP or VNC connections?
"an RDP/VNC client: It does not support these protocols (yet)" from official site :((
No support for those yet, but maybe in the future.
Unable to connect to Amazon Linux instance. This feature is available in paid edition.
Hmmm, don’t use Amazon, so can’t speak to that, but maybe assumed to be professional use? Just not sure.
It's kind of a Desktop version of TacticalRMM
No. It's really just a hub to make connections using the other tools on your system.
Does it beat Meshcentral?
I'd say they do slightly different things. Mesh is still amazing as an RMM. This is really great for connecting to Containers and taking actions. Kind of like a hammer vs a pry bar. Both useful tools, and both can do similar things, but each does one thing much better than the other.
Great tool but would have been better if Amazon Linux system ( AWS free tier) supported in community edition.
Maybe they'll add it to community down the road.
The scan was run on Avast, Treat Name: IDP. Generic, on file name: xpiped.exe
Interesting. Not sure why it finds it to be a potential threat, but I'm pretty sure it's a flase flag. Never hurts to be cautious though.
is it like shellhub ?
Looks like it could be similar to shellhub, but shellhub looks like a server with a browser frontend and api for mobile apps...I'd say shellhub is more like Guacamole but without the RDP / VNC functionality.
@@AwesomeOpenSource Thanks for the response. SSH is my favorite tool, a lot of cool applications for the protocol web based and otherwise.
Nice review but mentioning only the Raspberry pi as an ARM device was really short sighted. Other low performance ARM Systems like Zimaboard or High performance systems with an Apple M series or Ampere Altra processors(mostly used in Machine Learning servers and mainframes).
Not intentionally leaving any out. I just generally get requests about the Pi boards in the comments so I try to point out support when I see it.
@@AwesomeOpenSource thanks for pointing that out
Apache guacamole
Guacamole is awesome, and I do use it, but this, for me, is a bit different.
Due other people getting this as well?.
Written in java.... seems flimsy with weird errors i.e when selecting private key for the ssh connection. Would love to use it but personally, it's not for me.
No worries, I'm always on the hunt for great open source options.
once
Hi, like to make you aware of a problem with this application Windows, windows shows that the application has a virus.
Interesting. Is it a confirmed issue? Can you point me to what it says it found?
On VirusTotal everything looks fine. You can try for yourself if you want
Sorry but too expensive per person license
Didn’t notice it said “per person”.
How can things nowadays call themselves open source but charge money at the same time ?
It is open source. You are asked to be honest and pay for a professional license in order to help keep the project going.
Very slow and laggy interface, it takes 30 seconds to open any terminal window.
Haven’t experienced that at all on multiple machines
@@AwesomeOpenSource It appears its and issue with the app running and if you have Malwarebytes installed and running. The developer is looking into and was able to reproduce the issue.
Argh! You neglected to mention that Xpipe is written in JAVA! Nope, not interested.
Normally I would 100% agree In this particular case they so far have made it work. Working well in both Windoze and Linux so far.
Don’t discount it because of the stack. It’s all about how it’s implemented. I think they’ve done a great job.
Java (especially the newer versions of OpenJDK) is a fine language for non-performance-critical tasks. There are so many software and services you and I use everyday that rely on a much wonkier base (ahkem JavaScript).
Could have been Electron
@@scheimong True, but modern Javascript is worlds better than what it used to be and simply cannot be avoided when using the web. Not using JAVA is an optional choice, which I chose to make on my desktop. However, I do have a Pixel phone 😞
Paywall .. hard pass.
Not a paywall. They do have extra features not included in the community edition, and ask that professionals pay for the softwre to help support the project.
@@AwesomeOpenSource When it says companies can only use it licensed.. 100% that's a paywall. Please stop lying to yourself and others.
@@AwesomeOpenSource Open Source means you don't put gates or walls up and any company can also use the code free from licenses. That's true open source otherwise the source is partially open source and that's not the same. saying it is the same is actually illegal too.
