Hmm looks interesting but all my servers require openpgp (yubikey with gpg agent support) so I'd have to use the homelab tier. And I'm very adverse to subscriptions. And I don't think it's available for my os, otherwise I'd try it. But it's ok, I have my own setups for this stuff.
And about adversity to subscriptions, note that you can also obtain lifetime licenses further down the pricing page.

Can you elaborate on that? Then I can better respond to your specific points on why it shouldn't be used
Well, it would necessitate a dedicated conversation. In my opinion, there are better languages and runtimes available today to create such solutions, such as Go and Rust, to name a couple of the most suitable ones. I believe Java is no longer an appealing choice for these types of tools, but I still like the project and its development process.

Nice. Just add remote desktop and vnc and it would be nice alternative to remmina.
For VNC, as the a landscape of tools to integrate is a little bit less populated compared to RDP, XPipe has a built-in VNC client. However, if you still want to use your own VNC client, you can do so using the service tunnel functionality.
> connections to those systems are only possible starting from the professional plan: Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems, etc /me blinks. An OS is an OS... so, access to developer licenses for these are Professional use too? > connections to those systems are only possible starting from the homelab plan: Oracle Linux systems /me blinks even more ...
That is implemented under the assumption that these distros are most of the time used in enterprise contexts. I know that this is not always the case, there is the option to upgrade to a license at no cost to the next tier if you’re only using it for personal use. Just send me an email I can upgrade it for you.
I've been using OEL since before Rocky was a thing. It was and still is a free alternative to RHEL.
Apart from that, all my planned use of XPipe fits entirely in the Community feature set (maybe apart from Yubikey/GPG agent).
But now I'd need to pay $5 a month just to open a shell? No thanks.
Also, a slight tangent, but charging homelab folks $5/mo is weird. The only profit I'm making with my homelab is negative. And I, as a developer, would much more likely to ask my employer to buy an enterprise license if I actually liked using it at home. Like Tailscale, JetBrains, etc.

The goal of XPipe is to be connection hub that brings together your tools, not really replace them. For example with RDP and remmina, XPipe has an integration for remmina to launch RDP connections directly, making it easier for you to quickly boot into RDP sessions. Especially when you combine it with the automatic SSH tunneling functionality for RDP that is also included. For VNC, as the a landscape of tools to inte…
Will try it to see how this work.

Thank you for this, it looks amazing. With so many client machines, servers, raspberry pis, tunneling to home, RDP sessions etc etc these days it gets out of hand managing connections. I can't wait to try this. Thank you
Where can I find what the "advanced ssh features" are for homelab version? Can't seem to find such details on the website right now.. Thank you for this, it looks amazing.
