  • That would be interesting. If this is going where I think it is then it would probably suck seeing as touch screen input feels exponentially worse with latency but nonetheless would be really cool to see work for hosting a web app of sorts for desktop use.

    Check out linuxserver.io, kasm and whatever the x11 version of waydroid is called. I can’t remember it at the moment. That should give you enough to get started building a container if you want.


  • I’d suggest learning what docker is and how to use it if you are trying to host it which is “installing” a web page.

    If you want an icon to go to a dedicated window (web app experience) there are lots of options with lots of advantages and disadvantages. Just research progressive web apps. This method is going to require the frontend be hosted so you either need an instance that is using this frontend or you need to host it yourself.

    Also to let you know. You’re getting downvotes because this is a very lazily asked question. You didn’t link to what it is you need help with, you asked the question in a manner that suggests you have done no research.

    No hate since everyone is a beginner but I really suggest you spend a little more time crafting your questions to the community. Also read a little on docker and how lemmy front ends work.

    In the meantime this should help you get started.

    Docker Official Documentation

    Afterwards go to the git repo of this ”app” pages source code. There is a one command solution to deploy it.

    Mlmym GitHub

    As long as docker is installed and set up you should just be able to enter the command for the deployment to get it running.

    Go to http://localhost:8080 or if that doesn’t work https://localhost:8080 in your browser as indicated by the command and there is your front end.



  • I wouldn’t say it particularly sucks. It could be used as a powerhouse hosting server. Docker makes it very easy to do no matter the os now a days. Really though I’d say its competition is more along the lines of ampere systems in terms of power to performance. It even beats amperes 128 core arm cpu at a power to performance ratio which is extremely impressive in the server/enterprise world. Not to say you’re gonna see them in data centers because price to performance is a thing as well. I just feel like it fits right into the niche it was designed for.








  • Tons of good responses here. I’m surprised that nobody has brought up Tailscale though. It’s def the easiest vpn solution I have found. It’s got some great documentation and how to projects to get a home lab running and it’s got its own domain system baked in most of it being zero configuration. You can access mullvad vpn exit nodes straight from it, and set up those domains with ssl super easy e.g.

    sudo tailscale serve —https=443 localhost:8096

    That single command would allow any other devices connected to your Tailscale account to reach your Jellyfin using the domain “{serverhostname}.[tail-scale].ts.net” complete with a private reverse proxy and ssl cert.

    There are a few things to click around in tailscale on but it’s a extremely easy to use free application that has made my self hosted life significantly easier due to my system living behind multiple firewalls that I sadly have no control over.
