Teamviewer is a proprietary software application for remote control, desktop sharing, online meetings, web conferencing and file transfer between computers.
Installation
To perform full installation with a service, add this to your configuration.nix:
services.teamviewer.enable = true;
Please be aware, that installing Teamviewer by adding it to the environment.systemPackages of your configuration.nix:
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
...
teamviewer
...
];
or installing it via nix-env -i teamviewer will not install its corresponding service. This will allow Teamviewer to start outgoing connections, but will not allow it to receive connections from the Internet. Upon the start, Teamviewer will hence display Not ready. Please check your connection message.
Wayland support
There is upstream support for connecting to a system that is running wayland, but this does not yet appear to work under NixOS (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/404645). Perhaps a different Remote Desktop option might help?
