I recommend the Remmina RDP client tool, it's the bomb.

I love Remmina as a client.

I would need to move it outside of home dir to something like /opt?

Should, of course. No software ever goes in the /home directory. But need to? No, root can use any directory.

Will work on this. Thanks

If you are using NeDB, it is super simple to move the data file. If you are using MongoDB, the database is always still there on the same port.

Until MongoDB is gone!

We got it. Had to open the Nginx logs and noticed too many "posts" in the error log. Dug in and it was three ranges overseas all hitting with a "post timeout attack." It was a light DDoS where sessions were being opened and held causing nginx to wait on a timeout. This caused Apache to just increment forever. Once we blocked those ranges, the Apache thread count started to drop for the first time, and memory started to release. And the continuous flood of nginx error logs ceased.

If you are looking at nginx error logs, this is what you look for: upstream timed out (110: Connection timed out) while reading response header from upstream, client:

You can use this command to collect the offending IP addresses:

grep "upstream timed out" error.log | cut -d' ' -f20

Then use your firewall to shut them down. We are all good now! Woot.

Well let's talk about fedora and updating killing a laptop lol....

And it should be noted, that unlike SMB or NFS shares that would be generally frowned upon to use over the Internet, SFTP is heavily encrypted and very secure and is often used over public networks.
