Comparing MeshCentral 2 to ScreenConnect
-
Just identified a bug
Screen selection doesn't work on Fedora 29. Works great on Windows, but not on Fedora. I'll put it on GitHub.

@FATeknollogee Ha yes. If you run MeshCentral like that, it will break the self-update capability. This is normal, since MeshCentral will not have the rights to change it's own files. It's the cost of better security. In the future, I want to detect this case and disable the self-update options. You will need to do "npm install meshcentral" again manually with higher privileges to update.

I have meetings this afternoon, but I plan to set this up at some point before the end of the day friday.
This just looks like a great product.

@scottalanmiller You guys are going to flood me with bug reports! Yes, please file them on GitHub. Very must appreciated. I am going back to code now. Got plenty to go fix.

Yeah we are, we are moving MC into production because we were totally ready to replace our existing ScreenConnect.
Even had one of our managed SC customers already email us to ask about moving them to MC this morning, too!

Am I supposed to create an account on their site or just follow the guide?

We are talking about the self-hosted version, documentation and info here https://www.meshcommander.com/meshcentral2. The other one in https://meshcentral.com/ is the old version which was only hosted by them.

@mattbagan Follow the instructions to run your own MeshCentral server. No need to log in to anything. On a different topic, MeshCentral.com still runs the old v1 code and I will be migrating it to v2 sometime next year.

The "y" release just dropped. We just updated. @Romo

Do an install. Don't create an account.

So great to have you even looking, let alone responding to us here!

Looks interesting to say the least. there are obvious differences - but not so much so that if you look at it for a few you can figure things out.

Chat:
There doesn't seem to be a chat feature. At least at the moment. but I have only looked at the system like ten minutes.

There is, we have a bug report open about it. Causes some issues with some clients.

There is not like screen connect that a small chat window pops up, rather it tries to open a webpage with the chat url.

It not actually the chat, we didn't use the chat on many of the machines that had the popup.
