Puter from HeyPuter

@jagan Yes, but useful only if it can be run from a remote server, because on localhost:4000 it's useless. Why would I run this on localhost to then open a web browser to run SOME apps in it, while I can run anything natively or on VMs.

Here is one use that is the most important to me:
I can't install applications or configure my work computer as I like - everything is locked down.
I use a remote desktop that I access from my work computer - all my applications run on that computer as how I need.

That’s my use case as well!

Hope this helps.

Yep, that is helpful. Sounds handy!

Lots of fun games on there. I wanted to show you my high score on the Free Kick football game, but somebody bumped me off the demo!

that thring really is cool, now all it needs are many useful apps, and I think thats currently the problem, right?

Are you guys sure that the "system" ist running in the container? I tried it for five minutes and I have the impression that it is just running the frontend in the container, but use the Puter server backend somewhere in the Internet?

[AartJansen]

@jagan thanks. I can see that as useful, in restricted environments.

@Kubernetes interesting observation, what gives rise to those suspicions ?

[Kubernetes]

@timconsidine I have no evidence, but I was assuming that storage (500MB) and account registration is not part of the docker App. Today I read that they plan to provide a full selfhosting deployment (soon?).

[timconsidine]

Ah, I was guessing those are about the hosted version, and wouldn't be in self-hosted.
Let's see.

A remote browser-accessable desktop would indeed be nice, but maybe webtop ( https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-webtop/ ) is more suitable since it really runs on the server itself...

Wow! That community looks like a fantastic place to help people become more aware of Cloudron and what it can do.

[RazielKanos]

hehe, seems you can run Windows directly in a docker container too...
