docker-webtop VS ngrok

Or, install https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-webtop on the remote server and then use a GUI library manager in that container, if you really need a GUI.

I've also run a Minecraft server on that mini pc and it ran just fine, but if you want to host more games there are other more powerful machines you could use. There are also a whole world of other services you could try. I've been enjoying Webtop lately, for example.

You could spin up something like Kasm Workspaces, Neko or Docker Webtop.

Install docker and docker-compose. You can search docker-compose HERE and then docker-compose pull and docker-compose up -d

After i had a look at Kasm Workspaces and found it a bit too heavy for my use-case, i was trying to setup a simple linuxserver/webtop container.

Someone on Discord recommended I spin up a Webtop Docker container but they weren't too sure if this would let me login with multiple users. These containers, to my understanding, run their own versions of Guacamole, so managing each of these instances could get complicated over time.

you could just use webtop (https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-webtop)

Many good reverse proxy solutions currently exist on the market such as ngrok and Cloudflare tunnels. They give one the ability to reliably run a tunnel and ensure it does not go down. They also offer the ability to securely access their links using whitelisted IP addresses or by using HTTP Basic Authentication.

These is a very common problem. Luckily, it's been solved already. My go-to tool for this was ngrok or localtunnel. Both of these tools are great, but they didn't fit my needs perfectly.

Ensure your app works as expected and provides a good user experience by thoroughly testing and debugging. Utilize tools like Chrome DevTools or Firefox Developer Tools to inspect and modify your app’s code, network, and storage. Employ tools like ngrok or localtunnel to expose your local development server to the internet, enabling testing on various devices and browsers.

Tunnels (CloudFlare vs. Ngrok)

We need to make our WhatsApp API accessible on the internet so the trigger.dev cloud service can connect to it. We can do that by running ngrok in a separate terminal.

This means that Cronitor must have an endpoint that it can reach. Normally, we can't do that when developing on a personal machine. For this tutorial, however, we can use ngrok to establish a tunnel to our local Django application for testing purposes.

There are so many weird suggestions in the comments. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned ngrok https://ngrok.com/ (there are many competing alternatives as well). It makes exposing local service over HTTPS trivial. It's been used heavily in most of my engineering orgs.

Ngrok: This provides about 2hours on the free account but requires account registration and adding your authtoken, and starting it is as simple as running ngrok http 8080
