docker-ubuntu-vnc-desktop VS docker-baseimage-gui

Of course you can run a full Linux Desktop in Docker, you can access the GUI with a remote tool like VNC. docker-ubuntu-vnc-desktop is even accessible from a browser.

its surprisingly easy to do. I will create a video guide for this as well as a blog article. A good start is to take https://github.com/fcwu/docker-ubuntu-vnc-desktop and set-up OBS + WebSockets in there. Then add my tool and you‘re all set for IRL streams.

Currently use this https://github.com/fcwu/docker-ubuntu-vnc-desktop

Gonna try it later, now I'm using https://github.com/fcwu/docker-ubuntu-vnc-desktop But guacamole sounds also interesting.

GitHub / Docker Hub

I’m also interested in this. As an aside, you’ll be interested in what this person accomplished. They have several apps which implement this framework that was setup. E.g. this one. But there are several others, within their main level repo.

otherwise I recommend this container based setup that would allow your QA and devs to work directly in a navigator, and you to run as many of those as you want on a single host: https://github.com/jlesage/docker-baseimage-gui

VNC + NoVNC. https://github.com/jlesage/docker-baseimage-gui/blob/master/Dockerfile.debian

I found a different docker image that suggests I can run arbitrary GUI applications and a forum post that seems to have got it working on a different NAS system.

The base image (https://github.com/jlesage/docker-baseimage-gui/blob/master/Dockerfile.debian) installs X11 (a very simple window manager), X11VNC (A VNC server) and NoVNC (A web VNC client).

You certainly can, and it's very easy thanks to jlesage's docker-baseimage-gui:
