neko VS docker-ubuntu-vnc-desktop

I personally use neko-rooms with my friends for this purpose. Just let's all share a browser in a browser with plenty of options (Firefox, Chromium, Brave, etc.). You can also just use standard neko if you don't need multiple rooms.

Hey, you do you. It just sounds like an expensive way to avoid owning the hardware you want to debug to me.

Also, not to burst your bubble, but there are a few projects out there that do more-or-less what you're describing:

- https://store.steampowered.com/remoteplay/#together

- https://github.com/m1k1o/neko

If you're having fun, then continue by all means. I've just been nerd sniped by your cloud costs and I'm having flashbacks to seeing six-figure monthly AWS bills at startups that refused to buy their own GPU compute.

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

I ran into neko https://github.com/m1k1o/neko recently which has similar. It's more application centric than desktop centric, but both offer multi-player experiences & I just think that is the absolute coolest.

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.
