  • The computers are already on the same network, but we'd like to move all of our gazebo machines in to a server closet at some point but still have the software's visuals available to us which is why I'm looking in to SSH tunneling. Unless you're saying that having them on the same network allows for a different configuration that makes SSH not necessary (I'm guessing setting up some crazy xhost/client setup, I don't know much about X11).

  • No need for ssh - if this all your private network of trusted systems, try xhost + on your local machine and set your DISPLAY on the remote system to 'ip-or-name-of-local:0` Commented May 16, 2013 at 13:27

    I was unable to get gazebo to work, but I'm marking this as the accepted answer because your suggestions were technically correct. I am able to tunnel glxdemo using all of the suggestions you made (ssh and xserver/xclient over the network) but Gazebo itself just seems to not build branching code paths and it assumes that it own't be run in this weird configuration. Thanks!. Commented May 20, 2013 at 12:57
  • There is gazebo web and it is really amazing, you can start a gazebo server on a remote machine (even WAN), tunnel with ssh and open your browser to see gazebo there. Best solution ever. Commented Nov 22, 2019 at 14:23
