This is a full computer management web site. With MeshCentral, you can run your own web server to remotely manage and control computers on a local network or anywhere on the internet. Once you get the server started, create a mesh (a group of computers) and then download and install a mesh agent on each computer you want to manage. A minute later, the new computer will show up on the web site and you can take control of it. MeshCentral includes full web-based remote desktop, terminal and file management capability.

node meshcentral [arguments]

You can launch MeshCentral with no arguments to start it in LAN mode. In LAN mode only devices on the local network can be managed. To setup a more seciour server, use --cert to specify an IP address or name that resolves to your server. This name will be used by mesh agents to connect back to the server. So, make sure you set **a name that will resolve back to your server**. MeshCentral will not register this name for you. You must make sure to setup the DNS name yourself first, or use the right IP address. If you are just taking a quick look at MeshCentral, you can skip this step and do it at later time.

On Windows, you can install MeshCentral to run as a background service, just run it using "--install". Once running, open a browser and enter the server url. By default, a TLS self-signed certificate is created so you will need to ignore the security warning given by your browser. A link to the root certificate you need to load in your browser is provided on the web site if you want to make warnings go away. You can run without TLS security using --notls, but this is not recommended.

When you setup many domains, the server considers each domain seperatly. Each domain has seperate user accounts, administrators, etc. Within each domain, you can put a "title" and "title2" as strings that will show up at the top of the web site. "userQuota" indicates the default maximum amount of data a user can have in it's "My Files" folder. "meshQuota" is the maximum total size of files in each mesh folder. "newAccounts" indicates if new accounts can be created from the login page, 0 if not allowed, 1 if allowed. Note that if a web site has no accounts, the new account option will be available until an account is created and the first account will be the site administrator.

MeshCentral also supports server peering, add the "peers" section with a list of all peers. If you want to do server peering, make sure all servers are configured to use the same database. Also, the "serverId" value is optional. If it's not specified, the computer hostname is used instead.
