How to create a terminal server on Linux?

Question

linux

Hello, I have never done this , please help.

Now I use a bunch of Windows Server 2016 + Raspberry cluster with WTware.
The entire user folder ( profile, documents, downloads, desktop, etc. ) is stored on a separate server and is driven by the user.

Everything works fine, but you need to stop using Windows to the maximum ( I think there is a maximum of 2 years left before the cutoff ).

I have already transferred 1C to Linux servers + PostgesPro, now I want to transfer terminals and then AD.

I'm looking for something that will allow:

1. Create a terminal server to connect users and run office programs, 1C, browsers
   
2. Connections using TLS 1.3 , network level verification and other security goodies
   
3. Authorization by AD
   
4. Storing profiles in the paths specified in the user card in AD
   
5. Ability to connect via RDP (home Windows machines)
   

PS> If you manage to create a cluster with balancing connections and moving users, then it will be generally cool

Answer 1

1 x2go
2 x2go is tunneling via ssh
3 there is such a possibility
4 I can't answer this question.
5 RDP is a proprietary protocol and there is hardly an opensource RDP server
Why x2go - because I have used it and it is much better than vnc, maybe there are better alternatives.

Answer 2

not really an answer... for an example.
https://zentyal.com/ I left it because it became paid, although you can download it for free and have not followed it for a long time (there are free analogues, but worse).
There is also https://habr.com/ru/post/277783/ - https://habr.com/ru/post/329066/ - there are a lot of things on the Internet
But how to connect all this ??? this is the main problem...

Everything works fine, but you need to stop using Windows to the maximum

There are no full-fledged analogues of Windows Server. Even AD has not been seen anywhere with all the features of Windows. There are pieces and not all of them are complete. For simple (highly specialized) Linux is fine. But for complex ones, you constantly look at Windows, for example, SharePoint Server. Dear infection)))

Answer 3

I was also interested, I found only something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Zei0VJc77s

Answer 4

AD is a much more functional thing than LDAP servers under Linux. There is still no sane implementation of roaming profiles, I crutched it myself 10 years ago, now I googled it - things are still there, also only crutching myself.
Accordingly - to put pure OpenLDAP or with some kind of add-on on top to log in - not a problem, out of the box. There is also software to make a terminal. Point 4 - so the paths in Linux are completely different, how do you imagine it? Well, about RDP - this is a default Windows theme, in Linux, welcome to VNC.

Answer 5

Linux has its own implementation method similar to RDP: X Window System
