Description
https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp
xrdp is an open source RDP server. Voidlinux has great support for remarkable RDP clients (e.g. Remmina), but it lacks an RDP server AFAIK.
So we are frequently compiling/recompiling xrdp in some 50 Voidlinux boxes that are remotely accessed in order for their users to avoid COVID-19.
We have learnt from this recompiling process that no big issue arises and that it can easily be integrated into Voidlinux.
