Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1332

What happened?

Following the FAQ in README, I added the serverhostname option to the configure file:

section: options
    serverhostname=<AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD>

But this doesn't work on Windows 10, the log shows:

[2021-10-20T10:18:56] ERROR: cannot read configuration "C:/Users/semio/home/config/barrier.conf.sgc": read error: line 39: unknown argument "serverhostname"

I also tried serverHostname and serverHostName, but they don't work neither.

I too have the same issue with Linux Mint.

When looking through the source, the value
serverHostname
is set at line 291 of /src/gui/src/MainWindow.cpp
but there is no place that the value is read back as far as I can tell. I am not knowledgeable enough to actually fix it, but that is why I think its not working. I haven't found a work-around yet.

barriers -c ~/.barrier.conf -f --no-tray --debug DEBUG --name pc101 --enable-crypto --address 0.0.0.0:24800

*** WORKAROUND ***
By using this commandline, I start the barriers process in a tmux session and leave it alone. Until there is a real fix, this does it for me.
