Before I joined the LinuxServer organization I had been working on a Docker management solution called Taisun. Over the years it became apparent everyone downloading this application was only really using the subfeature to be able to run a Linux desktop in their web browser. From parts of this project we as a team started deploying containers for popular GUI applications in docker containers and have now released: https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/webtop

The image is also available in Ubuntu outside of just Alpine in the following Desktop environments installed and pre-configured:

XFCE
KDE
MATE
i3
Openbox
IceWM

Please take a look at the Github Repo for updated lists of supported tags:

I have deployed webtop as a local docker app on my Mac, and it works well.
Would be cool and useful to have this as a Cloudron app.
Good to have instead of deploying KASM on a VPS.

Looks like these guys use something like this to deploy ParrotOS in a browser:
