n.eko - stream a desktop inside of a docker container

This app uses Web RTC to stream a desktop inside of a docker container, I made this because rabb.it went under and my internet can't handle streaming and discord keeps crashing when my friend attempts to. I just want to watch anime with my friends ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) so I started digging throughout the internet and found a few kinda clones, but none of them had the virtual browser, then I found Turtus and I was able to figure out the rest. This is by no means a fully featured clone of rabbit, it hs only one room. It's stateless, so no saved user names or passwords.

Nice one! It's a great-to-have app especially when you want to hang out with your friend and family in the distance.

@hiyukoim On that subject, I found Jitsi was the only app that does YouTube video sharing/synching if you want to watch stuff together.

@marcusquinn interesting. How it is different/ better than how Zoom does it (other than the obvious thing about Jitsi being open source and self-hostable)?

[marcusquinn]

@jdaviescoates I try to avoid Zoom & Teams as they seem to be resource hogs on Desktop.

With Jitsi browser, desktop & mobile you can share a YouTube link and start/pause it for both/all on the chat, so good for watching movies in-sync. TBH I'd not looked at if any of the others do that?

@marcusquinn can it do full screen for the video being shared?

[marcusquinn]

@robi Yeah, with your faces in the corner
