virtual desktops are not allowed on railway
this would be best to do on a cheap vps
how do you launch the game atm? Hosting it is 100% allowed, but accessing the container is not
And what do you use the virtual desktop to do
on chrome
by going to a website
connecting an extension
et voila it launches on my desktop
idk I dont know much about vps'es lol
is this is a 3rd party game?
what game is this?
ye
not on railway
Solution
yeah this sort of thing isn’t what Railway is meant for
theoretically it’s possible using a browser and controlling it with code, but that’s not recommended
possible and allowed? yes. Recommended use case? not really
ah :/
yeah you'd just want a cheapo windows VPS by the sounds of it
yup
ah alright
it's easy to remote desktop that ?
very
okydoky
thank you sir
since you wouldn’t need to actually do any processing, just run a chrome process
it could be super cheap
I dont mind too much about moneys
just that it runs 24/7 hehe
and accessible from phone
you'd end up paying for the windows licence on the vps, so not as cheap as linux
but much easier for remote desktop
okay thank you. I am a bit lost on this but will continue to do googling hehe
I recommend vultr for VPS hosting
alright I will check them out. thank you
no problem! 🙂
linux is fine for remote desktop
if you choose a GNOME desktop, just go into Settings > Sharing and enable Screen Sharing
KDE is a little bit more involved but not much
AFAIK most VPS'ess don't install a desktop environment for you on linux?
ah nvm then, I've never used a VPS
