The software offers remote control and management of Linux systems. It allows administrators to access and manage Linux machines from anywhere with an internet connection.
With FreeRemoteD, the controller becomes the bridge between the source of commands and the Linux machine. The controller sits and waits for a command to be transmitted, such as pressing a button on a remote device. Once it receives this signal, the controller sends the command to the customers on the DBus bus to perform the necessary action.
This software is comprised of two essential components, the server (daemon) and the client. The server tracks clicks on buttons while notifying its customers of the events taking place. It also offers its services to DBus to enable remote Linux management from any location. Moreover, the server loads relevant modules for each type of controller. For instance, it utilizes the controller-lirc.so module for IR-remote control (LIRC) and controller-serial.so for mobile devices.
One of the best features of FreeRemoteD is its expandability. Users can write their own modules for different types of controllers, allowing them to customize the software to meet their specific needs. Mobile devices can be connected to the Linux machine in several ways, including USB or Serial cable or via Bluetooth using the RFCOMM protocol or IR-port. The mobile device offers the ability to track click events on the button, which makes it easier for users to manage their Linux machine remotely.
Lastly, FreeRemoteD is available in KDE:KDE4:Community Repository, making it more accessible to users. It is a reliable software for anyone looking to manage Linux machines remotely, offering an exceptional level of control and convenience.
