workspaces-core-images VS neko

The copy script resides within the Core images and can be adjusted if necessary. It is visible in the workspaces-core-images Github Repo

Another option could be to let the servers just boot into webbrowser and then do somethign VDI (Vitual Desktop infrastructure), for example KASAM: https://www.kasmweb.com/ This would also address/ solve/ simplify many of the mentioned issues above.

https://www.kasmweb.com/ is a popular new solution in this space. I've played around with https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-webtop which is based on their kasmvnc and even in the non lossless mode if feels quite snappy.

I read about Kasm Workspaces here on selfhosted and really wanted to try it out on my Ubuntu VPS. Problem is, I use Traefik for my reverse proxy and it's not technically supported by Kasm. There are also very few hits on searches for the two platforms together, and the information that's available is not very helpful. Maybe I'm the only person really interested in this 😂 but after a lot of time spent figuring it out I decided to write my own guide in case someone else is too. This assumes you already have Traefik setup and running on port 443. The files are available at my Github project.

Check out KASM - https://www.kasmweb.com/ - you can actually play many of your Steam games from it with GPU acceleration.

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

- The Workspaces Images and Workpaces Core images, are both open source projects that include the image dockerfiles and associated scripts for building the end-user containers such as Chrome , Brave, Ubuntu desktop, etc. You can view the code and licenses here: https://github.com/kasmtech/workspaces-images/blob/develop/LICENSE.md , https://github.com/kasmtech/workspaces-core-images/blob/develop/LICENSE.md

Check out https://www.kasmweb.com/. You could setup a persistent profile storage on a linux distro of your choosing and have all the bookmarks saved there or even have it open chrome directly with all your shortcuts right from the website using 2fa to protect everything.

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.
