  • barrier

    Open-source KVM software

  • You can use something like Barrier to share your mouse and keyboard over your network. Basically if your cursor exits one screen, it then appears on another, even if it's a different computer. Behind the scenes the computer with the mouse&keyboard sends input events to the other computer until you drag the cursor "back".

  • ubuntu-vnc-xfce-g3

    Headless Ubuntu/Xfce containers with VNC/noVNC (G3v5).

  • I've found this to be a very good solution. It is a headless VNC connection that boots with docker. It was inspired from this project where someone created the same thing. However, in the first link, they went back and made the box more stable and overall it performs better in my experience.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
