  • There is nothing native (though a few options have been played with, AFAIK never completed because…), but there are a ton of integrations. You can use webhooks to teams, there are python wrappers for the API, even a google docs integration.

    Probably the lowest code option would be to find someone else’s tool for snipe-it (sorry I’ve never looked), or do something like snipe it to google sheets to be imported as a CSV or something.

    Or take a peek at some others in the same territory, or maybe ticketing systems with simple asset management.

    But i think something like snipe-it, if not exactly, is going to be the right territory of what you’re looking for













  • Not really an option for me or it would interrupt some other stuff I work on personally. I could make it not my main PC and go back to Debian, but it would also mean less time for me testing my stuff. So I’m more likely to just forget IP keyboard/mouse sharing and stick one of my little keyboards and a mouse there.

    The rest of the main use machines are all on what amounts to an overly expensive physical KVM (work stuff freebie), so the only reason to use the software based option is the laptop.


  • Yeah, Wayland definitely complicates things. I dropped synergy before v2 and no longer being open, v3 is apparently 1 with some GUI on top. I can build v1 (deskflow), as long as they are keeping the main bit underneath open I don’t mind supporting them with a $50 one time payment. We will see how it goes though, their Wayland support is still in Dev.

    I had expected to see input leap further along since it had been 3 years since the fork (and 2 more years since the maintainer of the repo was active), but it doesn’t seem ready for release, as they even recommend sticking with the last barrier release for now according to their readme.

    Right now, deskflow/synergy seems the most promising.


  • Fair point, and I’m not entirely against commercial software. Probably easier to deploy to my work laptop too.

    Synergy will be on the list

    EDIT: May have spoken too soon. No wayland support still it looks like. From what I can see its been on the list since around 9 months ago, was 6 weeks away 5 months ago, but as of today still not available. I’ll give it a go just to check, but I don’t think libei support will be in until 3.2. Current version up is 3.0.

    Edit 2: Usable code is out, so screw it, going to rework the home setup. Worst case scenario I’ll keep a spare mouse and keyboard handy for the laptop. Going to start testing out the others in earnest in the meantime once I’ve reworked my desk (and figured out where the hell I’m putting a 50" monitor that’s apparently arriving next week for testing).

    Because the separate installation means you can actually end up with both an apt installed and a snap installed.

    My comment about docker was a specific example of such a case, where vulnerabilities were introduced. It was actually a commonly used attack a few years ago to burn up other CPU and GPU to generate crypto.

    Yes, canonical provides both. Guess what? They screwed up, and introduced several vulnerabilities, and you ended up with both a snap and apt installed docker.

    The fact that they are both packaged by Canonical is both irrelevant and a perfect example of the problem.

    One selects a different package, same source repo.

    The other completely changes the installation, invisibly to the user, potentially introducing vulnerabilities.

    Such as what they did with Docker, which I found less than hilarious when I had to clean up after someone entirely because of this idiocy.

    The differences seem quite clear.
