teamviewer not running when server starts or log off

[ifti]

I have installed teamviewer 9 in my zentyal server. I want to access my zentyal remotely when the server starts on or log off. In /etc/rc.local, I added /usr/bin/teamviewer. But it's not working when server starts or log off. Would you please help me?

is teamviewer mandatory?

if not, try:

sudo apt-get install tightvncserver xrdp

and use windows remote desktop or remmina (linux) to connect - no need for rc.local or so, it simply works

[ifti]

Yes. Because, my router's IP is not fixed and zentyal is on lan side. Teamviewer works only when I login. My requirement is that when server starts, teamviewer automatically starts and I can access from remote side. Even it works when it's log off.

If you subscribe for free subscription you can use the Zentyal DynDNS solution.
Then you can connect to <yourserver>.zentyal.me with rdesktop or remmina.

btw, it would be safer to connect with VPN and approach the server from the inside.

I'm quite impressed with the number of request in this forum for remote access to Zentyal "console" while, one the other hand, having temporarily installed few days ago Zentyal 3.4, I refrained myself to write here " another install that is bringing, by default graphic interface at server level"

Robb, zentyal is my lan side and I registered ddns, but how can I access remotely this server ?

SSH once VPN tunnel is established ?

[ifti]

Yes ssh is running. but I didn't establish vpn tunnel.

Up to you. 

For sure you can open SSH to external world if you think this is safe enough. Most of the time, preferred solution is, for administrative purpose, to allow only access from internal network and then jump inside thanks to VPN but it work without VPN too.
