Containers

Containers allow users to run isolated environments (e.g., secure browsing sessions or specific applications). They are based on container profiles that define their configuration and operating rules.

Concepts

Container management is based on two main concepts:

  • Container Profiles: A container profile defines a container’s configuration (image, constraints, options, restrictions). It can be assigned directly to users to provide them with a specific environment.

  • Collections: A collection groups one or more container profiles and assigns them to a set of users. This simplifies centralized management of standardized environments (e.g., “Internet Navigation”, “DevOps”, etc.).

In summary:

  • Use container profiles if you want to create and assign environments individually (one profile = one configuration).

  • Use collections if you want to manage sets of environments and distribute them easily to multiple users.

Once a profile is configured and assigned, users can launch containers: each container represents a running instance, listed below.

Quick filters (All, Online, Busy, Offline) let you display only containers in a given state, with the matching count.

The columns display:

  • Name (with the container ID shown below it)

  • Version

  • IP

  • State (Online, Busy, Offline)

  • Workstation state

  • Applications

  • User

  • Profile

  • Collection

  • Created At

Container record

Container record.

A container record displays the following information:

  • Hostname: the container’s hostname.

  • Container name: the name given to the container.

  • Reemo Version: version of the Reemo agent installed in the container.

  • OS: the container’s operating system.

  • State: the container’s current state (Online, Busy, Offline).

  • User: the container’s owning user.

  • IP: the container’s IP address.

  • Created At: date and time the container was created.

  • Last Access: date and time of the last connection.

  • _id: unique technical identifier of the container.

  • Profile: the container profile this instance was created from.

Three actions are available at the top of the record:

  • Connect: opens a session on the container.

  • Reinit: restarts the container.

  • Refresh: refreshes the displayed information.

A Sessions tab lists the remote session logs for this container.
