Hey all,

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
accessible through browser, or iPad app
multiple users?
password protected

Thanks,

As others mentioned it would to know what you plan to use the workspace for.

If it's general configuration management and coding (text editing) an alternative to something like guacamole/rdp/vnc would be to use VsCode remotely over SSH. This lets you run code's UI on a local machine but open and operate on remote files with little overhead. The other option is always ssh + tmux + vim, which is really lightweight, but probably harder to learn.

While remote desktop solutions work (like guacamole) they can introduce a fair amount of input latency which can be awkward.
