Awan Host Remote v0.1.1

Awan Host Remote is now available for Linux (Ubuntu/Debian) as well as Windows.

🤖 Built 100% with AI assistance. All of the code was written by an AI coding assistant; the project owner sets the features, reviews the results, and tests them. The code has not been independently audited, so try it on a test server before using it in production.

What's new

• Linux support: a .deb package for 64-bit Ubuntu/Debian, with an application menu entry and icon.
• Saved logins on Linux: SSH profiles are stored in the desktop keyring (GNOME Keyring or KWallet) via the Secret Service API and are never written to a plaintext file. If no keyring is available, you can still sign in manually.
• The app now opens on the Hosts page at startup.

Installation

Windows

1. Download Awan-Host-Remote-v0.1.1-windows-x64.zip, extract it, and run Awan Host Remote.exe.
2. Windows SmartScreen may show a warning because the executable is not code-signed. If you trust the source, choose More info → Run anyway.

Ubuntu / Debian

sudo apt install ./Awan-Host-Remote-v0.1.1-linux-amd64.deb
awan-host-remote

Requires a Vulkan-capable graphics driver (mesa-vulkan-drivers or your GPU vendor's driver). To save logins, run the app from a desktop session with an unlocked keyring.

On the server side, Python 3 is required, and Docker is needed for the Docker page. See the README for details.

Notes

• This is an early release with no automated tests yet.
• The Linux build was tested on Ubuntu 24.04 (WSL2): compilation, .deb installation, window rendering, and saving logins to the keyring. SSH login from the UI on a native Ubuntu desktop has not been tested yet.
