As private cloud desktop environments become more widely used, the benefits are increasingly accepted. But cloud desktop has a big pain point that is the use of usb, such as dongle, gold tax disk how these applications go to cloud desktop. Although there are mature commercial usb shared-server solutions, they are expensive. If you only need to use the simple application of Golden Tax Disk to transfer to the cloud desktop, you can build a USB mount solution at low cost. Here is the specific implementation process:

I. Installation of the server

Here we use virtualhere, which is a commercial software but has a free personal version. The free version only supports mounting a usb, requiring unlimited usb quantities to go to the official website to buy authorization,$49 a server.

Its official website virtualhere.com/usb_server_software, the server basically covers all systems, both x86, there are many embedded servers.

The server of X86 is suitable for mapping USB devices plugged into thin clients. The server is installed on thin clients and the client is installed on virtual machines. USB devices can be mapped to virtual machines seamlessly. Here we do not discuss the x86 server, this is too simple, a look will, we have to do is embedded server. Now there are a lot of mt7621 chips with usb routers on the market, such as small entertainment routers, as long as 60 pieces of POS EXPRESS, and it is a good brush openwrt. Together with the usb hub with power supply, a super multi-port usb server is done. We have to buy a good brush openwrt, as for the brush openwrt is another topic, not discussed here. Buy the router, the corresponding embedded server download back, mtk mt7620 is under the mipsel version, Qualcomm chips are generally mipse version, the binary program downloaded back with winscp upload to the router/usr/bin directory, other directories are OK, as you like.

And give the operation permission, here simply and rudely to 777. Run the server manually with putty:

/usr/bin/vhusbd -b

This manual router will not run automatically after restart. If you want it to run this server automatically every time it starts, you can simply add it to the startup script, under System---Startup Item--Local Startup Script:

The server is installed.

II. Client installation

The corresponding client is relatively simple, as long as the virtualhere.com/usb_client_software download the corresponding client is good, here the client is relatively complete, all systems have, Apple also has. I am here x64 system, download the corresponding client. This client supports Chinese. Change it to Chinese first:

You can also install the client as a system service, so you don't have to manually start the client every time you boot it.

All right, so is the client. Let's experiment here first. I'll plug in Sennheiser's headset and have a look.

Well, normal recognition, driver installed, to use this ear microphone simply select it, right click on the link on the line. Since I don't have the gold tax disk, this usb headset is normal, and the gold tax disk should also have no problems. Well, this is a low-cost solution for hand-built virtual machine mount usb settings. You should try it quickly.
