Monitoring Center

⚠️ Please Note: This project is not to be considered stale. I do not have much time right now and I have decided to contribute to this project in Q3 2022.

Is any Specific Version of Veyon Required ?

In short Yes! but, No.

HTTP Headers are Case Insensitive. Maximum HTTP Libraries in JavaScript (XHR, Axios, fetch) convert HTTP Headers to Lowercase and Veyon fails to authenticate the WebAPI Requests send by the Android and iOS Application. More Information regarding this issue can be found on

This issue in Veyon was discovered during development of an Android/iOS Client for Veyon at https://github.com/candiedoperation/Monitoring-Center

How can I use the App ?

Building Veyon 4.6 From Source

The following is the way to build veyon 4.6 from source on Ubuntu 20.04 (There might be slight changes in commands in other OSes)

git clone --recursive https://github.com/veyon/veyon.git
cd veyon
git checkout 4.6
git submodule update --init

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
fakeroot make package

sudo dpkg -i veyon-*****.deb
sudo apt install -f

Building Veyon 4.5 From Source

The following is the way to build veyon 4.5 from source on Ubuntu 20.04 (There might be slight changes in commands in other OSes)

git clone --recursive https://github.com/veyon/veyon.git
cd veyon
git checkout 4.5
git submodule update --init

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
fakeroot make package

sudo dpkg -i veyon-*****.deb
sudo apt install -f

⚠️ Versions of Veyon prior to 4.5 do not have WebAPI support and hence are incompatible with this app
