https://www.kasmweb.com/kasm_server.htmlLeverages Docker for "Streaming isolated remote applications and desktops to the browser"
Key points: Enterprise Features (Community Edition limited to 5 sessions at a time)
- AD / LDAP integration
- SAML Single Sign-on
Seems pretty useful, especially coupled with the rest of Cloudron. Many use cases can be applied here.
They are on 1.7 and appear to be gaining customers - worth keeping an eye on at the least

@plusone-nick
Oh imma try and package this right now.This might be trickier than first expected - the software seems to only have a docker-compose install which I am not 100% sure would translate to cloudron

I would start with the outer part, which means helping the Cloudron team integrate Sysbox.
It would require a new base container image that runs with a new container runtime (sysbox) instead of the default. This is just an extra parameter in the docker run command.
$ docker run --runtime=sysbox-runc -it some-image
All else stays the same.
In this container, you can now run Systemd, Docker, Kubernetes, etc., just like you would on a physical host or virtual machine. You can launch inner containers (and even inner privileged containers), knowing that the outer container is strongly isolated from the underlying host (via the Linux user-namespace). No more complex docker images or docker run commands, and no need for unsecure privileged containers.

@robi It would be more ideal to get the Kasm devs to also give a build not reliant on docker - so we can dockerize it ourselfs, or at least I would think that way anyway.
Sysbox is pretty cool but I'm sure that would require a complete overhaul of current code?
-
I am going to disagree here. The docker solution is elegant and doesn't pollute the filesystem with lots of X libraries and other junk.
In fact the sysbox-runc is more secure than the current one, hence if Cloudron decided to use it, all it would take is a one parameter addition.
--runtime=sysbox-runc
no overhaul required.

any news on this, I just watched a tutorial video on KASM and it really looks very interesting
-
@RazielKanos yep, it's nice.
I have KASM on a separate VPS and it's useful.
In my case, I don't use KASM enough to justify it using a whole VPS.
So it would sure be good to have it in Cloudron as an occasional resource, and get rid of the other VPS. -

Thanks. Would this container need any modifications to enable it to run init daemons, like OpenRC, Dinit, s6, runit, SysVinit, and Upstart?

Kasm could be a great asset to add to Cloudron for sure.
And, if it would be easier to integrate with Sysbox first on Cloudron, be it known as well that Docker has acquired Sysbox in May 2022. -
I have a VPS running Kasm.
Works very well. But I only use it occasionally so would be great to have it on Cloudron, and I can get rid of a VPS.
Slightly tricky install depending on what version of Ubuntu it runs on and whether it supports some library. But other than that, very nice. -
Yes its a good application but very resource intensive workspace so i hosted it separately but their was a proxy issue and was not working so for the timebeing i used nginx proxy manager but @girish released a patch in the last update 7.60. Now all is good and i am using it withing cloudron and also used cloudron ODIC integration it was long weekend night but well spent.
