kasm-install-wizard Changes:

What's new in Kasm 1.13.0

Highlights

• Workspace Registry for selecting which workspaces to install. Share/publish a repository of container-based images that are available to the community.
• Users can Stop and/or Pause container-based sessions from the Workspaces Launcher. Paused sessions retain processes/memory state for seamless workspace restoral.
• Admins can create new docker custom images from active container-based sessions directly from the UI and optionally push to a docker registry using Create Image from Session.
• Admins can now assign arbitrary file/content mapping to container-based sessions, such as a desktop background, Chrome policy, license key or a custom startup script.
• Session handling for SSH and legacy-VNC server endpoints for connections into resources that are not running RDP or KasmVNC.
• Enhanced mobile/tablet support through Progressive Web App (PWA) - User Guide / Admin Guide.

Features

• Usability Enhancements

  • Support for fullscreen view in a Kasm session through a control panel toggle.
  • Admins can import/export system configurations for slipstreaming version-controlled configurations during automated deployments.

  • Admins are able to stop/start/resume container-based Workspaces from the Sessions page or modify the outcome of keepalive_expiration by using the keepalive_expiration_action Group Setting.
  • Server pool preference for the oldest server available when connecting to ensure servers in the pool are fully configured by the startup script before attempting to connect.
  • Token Drift Global Setting defines a maximum time drift for physical TOTP tokens.
