I’m kind of new to self hosting, and currently repurposing my old PC as a home server. I already set it up to run nginx in docker, so I can use SSL on every website. The next thing for me would be to set up some kind of persisent workspace, that I can access from everywhere (specifically my ipad). I already had a look at kasm, but it looks to overkill.
What i want:
Persisent workspace, independent from Ubuntu server
Some kind of Linux distro with a known package manager
As others have mentioned, workspace is too vaguely defined for good answers. FWIW, I use the Blink Shell app on iOS to ssh into my server and/or computers from my iPad for my command line workspace. I also use my iPad to access/use many of the services I’m self hosting.
If you’re looking for a gui/DE, then something like guacamole would suit you better.
What do you want to do with this workspace? Are you looking for a VNC controlled Linux desktop environment? Or a “codespace” with an editor and a terminal in the browser? Or an office suite? Or…?
