| ====== Synergy ====== | ====== Synergy ====== | ||
| - | Project : [[https://github.com/symless/synergy|Github]] | + | Project : [[https://github.com/symless/synergy-core.git|Github]] |
| + | |||
| + | :!: Barrier / Opensource forked from 1.x after it became paid. | ||
| + | Project : [[https://github.com/debauchee/barrier|Barrier]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Installation ==== | ||
| + | :!: Since version 2.x there is GUI for synergy available and there is no hm.sh script in source.\\ | ||
| + | I've chose to use 2.x since it uses openssl to secure connection. \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Linux === | ||
| + | Most linux distro has package available. | ||
| + | <code bash | fedora> | ||
| + | sudo dnf install synergy | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Mac === | ||
| + | <code bash> | ||
| + | git clone https://github.com/symless/synergy-core.git | ||
| + | git checkout v2.0.0-stable | ||
| + | brew update | ||
| + | brew upgrade | ||
| + | brew info qt | ||
| + | export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/usr/local/Cellar/qt/5.10.1/Frameworks/" | ||
| + | export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib | ||
| + | export CPATH=$(brew --prefix openssl)/include | ||
| + | export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib/pkgconfig | ||
| + | mkdir build | ||
| + | cmake -DCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.13.sdk -DCMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.9 -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=x86_64 | ||
| + | make | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Once building binary is done, Copy files to **~/bin/** so it can be used used within path.\\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ====Post Build==== | ||
| + | === Server === | ||
| + | <code bash> | ||
| + | openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 3650 -subj /CN=Synergy -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout ~/.synergy/SSL/Synergy.pem -out ~/.synergy/SSL/Synergy.pem | ||
| + | openssl x509 -fingerprint -sha1 -noout -in ~/.synergy/SSL/Synergy.pem > ~/.synergy/SSL/Fingerprints/Local.txt | ||
| + | sed -e "s/.*=//" -i ~/.synergy/SSL/Fingerprints/Local.txt | ||
| + | cat ~/.synergy/SSL/Fingerprints/Local.txt # This is where you get server key hash | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Client === | ||
| + | Copy server key hash to following file. | ||
| + | <code text> | ||
| + | ~/Library/Synergy/SSL/Fingerprints/TrustedServers.txt | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Starting server / client ==== | ||
| + | In my case server is on linux and client is on mac. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Server === | ||
| + | == Configuration == | ||
| + | <code bash | ~/.synergy.conf> | ||
| + | # sample synergy configuration file | ||
| + | # | ||
| + | # comments begin with the # character and continue to the end of | ||
| + | # line. comments may appear anywhere the syntax permits. | ||
| + | # +-------+ +--------+ +---------+ | ||
| + | # |Laptop | |Desktop1| |iMac | | ||
| + | # | | | | | | | ||
| + | # +-------+ +--------+ +---------+ | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | section: screens | ||
| + | # three hosts named: Laptop, Desktop1, and iMac | ||
| + | # These are the nice names of the hosts to make it easy to write the config file | ||
| + | # The aliases section below contain the "actual" names of the hosts (their hostnames) | ||
| + | desk: | ||
| + | mac: | ||
| + | end | ||
| + | |||
| + | section: links | ||
| + | # iMac is to the right of Desktop1 | ||
| + | # Laptop is to the left of Desktop1 | ||
| + | desk: | ||
| + | right = mac | ||
| + | |||
| + | # Desktop1 is to the right of Laptop | ||
| + | mac: | ||
| + | left = desk | ||
| + | |||
| + | end | ||
| + | |||
| + | section: aliases | ||
| + | # The "real" name of iMac is John-Smiths-iMac-3.local. If we wanted we could remove this alias and instead use John-Smiths-iMac-3.local everywhere iMac is above. Hopefully it should be easy to see why using an alias is nicer | ||
| + | desk: | ||
| + | desk | ||
| + | |||
| + | mac: | ||
| + | mac | ||
| + | end | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | Now server can be using following command. | ||
| + | <code bash | start server> | ||
| + | /usr/bin/synergy-core --server --name desk -c /tmp/Synergy.TJ6658 --address :24800 -c ~/.synergy.conf --enable-drag-drop --enable-crypto --daemon | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Client === | ||
| + | :?: One can also create the alias in bash profile | ||
| + | <code bash | start client> | ||
| + | ~/bin/synergy-core --client --enable-crypto -n mac desk | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | ==== Autossh ( If do not want to use built-in crytpo library ) ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Opensource version of synergy does not support encryption any more.\\ | ||
| + | In order to secure data transmitted over network i use ssh tunnel, they suggest the same on their website.\\ | ||
| + | Best bet is to use autossh, so if you are roaming between location it will auto connect when you are on same network.\\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Installation**\\ | ||
| + | <code bash> | ||
| + | brew install autossh | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Setup Tunnel**\\ | ||
| + | <code bash> | ||
| + | autossh -f -v -M 24800 -N -R 24800:localhost:22 user@hostname | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Client**\\ | ||
| + | Set ServerIP = 'localhost' | ||
| + | |||
| + | That should do it. | ||
