Desktop Infrastructure Operations

Diop 🕶

• Desktop
• Infrastructure
• Operations

Diop is a Django-based web application to manage a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure based on Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops (CVAD).

🧩 Components and ⚙ functional dependencies

A full Diop setup consists of the following components:

• The Diop main project components:
  • The Diop core app.
  • Several Diop Django-Q2 task queue workers. They are performing the periodic tasks, updating status information and similar.
• A backing database, currently only MySQL is tested.
• Optional, but required for production setups:
  • Access to a running PSyTricks / ResTricks service - that's the interface to the CVAD platform (in a testing / development setup this is not necessarily required, but then obviously no status updates and / or actions can be performed).
• Optional, but highly recommended:
  • Access to an ActiveDirectory LDAP interface for performing authentication.
  • Access to a PPMS booking system instance (performed through the pyppms package).
