Fedora is working now.
Don't know why, installed again and it worked.
Did the install on Fedora require any different or additional steps compared to the Ubuntu instructions?
What flavor of Fedora did you use?
I think the Fedora install might have only been the client side, not the server side.
Thx for pointing that out.

Are you using MongoDB yet?

No, haven't seen any need for it yet. The system is still lightning fast.

Does the software establish a connection outside the managed network or do you have to vpn to the network to reach the management server?

It all runs on HTTPS connections.

I asked if I need to be on the highway to get to my destination, or if I can take surface streets and you told me to use snow tires. WTF?

It depends on how you setup MeshCentral and how lockdown your devices and/or network is.
With MeshCentral, you can set it up has a LAN only, WAN only or LAN+WAN (hybrid).
You can also restrict access via IP address for User or Agent. -

It all runs on HTTPS connections.
I asked if I need to be on the highway to get to my destination, or if I can take surface streets and you told me to use snow tires. WTF?
I mean it's up to you how you want to design it. I would say putting it behind a VPN is the smart way to do it. Like mentioned earlier, it isn't necessary. However, it greatly reduces your attack surface.

What attack surface? The only thing you access is the web interface.

My is setup behind a proxy and meshcentral is setup with 2FA.

That's exactly what we are doing.

That's still a surface. Why even let attackers get to a management server to attempt a brute force or DoD?

And that is different from letting an attacker attempt to brute force or DoS a VPN?
You always have an open port to come in.

That is true, but it doesn't reveal what's behind it. Something like mesh central would be something an attacker would be interested in, but if it's behind your VPN sever they have no clue its even there.
