goshnmedia Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Any chance that the windows system can be made portable. I have been using synergy at work for years and then they tightened down security where no user can install/uninstall without having elevated rights. That being said, I'd rather not be on anyone's radar so a portable solutions would be great for windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henneu Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Portable version for linux based systems would be also great. Me and some colleagues want to use Synergy on an Ubuntu based PXE-Boot system without root permissions. Therefore a non-install version would be great.

IT Troll Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Same for Windows. The current service-based architecture isn't a good match for being made portable. However, early betas weren't serviced-based and so an alternate build is feasible but would require a lot more work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaap aarts Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 the main synergy part is just a single application started by the service. if you wanted to you could just have synergy run inside the command line without any service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henneu Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 For now I go with the command line solution. Correct me if I am wrong but I feel like there are a lot of interesting features missing using Synregy 2 this way. 22 hours ago, jaap aarts said: nonroot users cant add a service, but I guess once you are logged in it would still be usefull. Wouldn't it be possible to start the service as a normal userspace process at least when starting the synergy-config tool on nonroot user accounts? I'm a computer scientist myself and I tried to workaround that issue by myself but hard coded pathes to system pathes are breaking my neck on the prebuild packages.

TurnschuhAdmin Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 +1 - portable tool would be a great feature (as long as orphaned entries are getting deleted). I use it to setup new PCs without having multiple sets of Keyboard at my desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
