Step 1
Install the server
Run the command above on a Raspberry Pi, a virtual machine or a spare PC, Linux or Windows. Then open it and create your admin account.
Install the server with one command in Terminal:
curl -fsSL https://bmuster.com/install.sh | sudo sh
Run it on the machine that will host BMuster: a Raspberry Pi, a virtual machine or a spare PC. It installs BMuster as a service and shows the address to open.
BMuster is in early development. There is no release yet, so this command does not work yet; follow along on GitHub.
What it does
BMuster is one place to reach and look after a fleet of computers, from a handful to hundreds. You run the server; a small agent on each machine phones home over HTTPS, so there are no ports to open on the machines themselves.
- Remote desktop and terminal in the browser, built mobile-first so it works from your phone
- Unattended access for IT staff, or ask the person at the machine first
- Inventory for every machine: hardware, operating system, GPUs and who is signed in
- Users, groups and access rules that decide who can reach which machines and what they can do
- Sign in with a password, or with Microsoft 365 or Authentik, and an activity log of who did what
- Works on a private network too, with its own pinned certificate when there is no public domain
How it works
Step 2
Add your machines
Your server's Add machine page gives a one-line command with a join code. Run it on each computer to install the agent.
Step 3
Connect from anywhere
Open your server in a browser, pick a machine and open its desktop or terminal.
