GUI Application Development

Is it possible for a coder workspace to be set up to support development of apps that use a GUI? Things such as JavaFX, PyQT and other toolkits for GUI development.

for Linux you use noVNC and for Windows there's a module that uses Devolutions Gateway

Ah I see, thank you very much for helping me out!

Phorcys•2mo ago

for noVNC, you can see how I do it in my template with TigerVNC and XFCE https://github.com/uwu/basic-env/blob/main/docker/base/Dockerfile

I see these mostly utilize X11. Have there been attempts with wayland aswell?

Phorcys•2mo ago

i have not tried, but so long as your VNC server supports wayland then you should be good except I think they usually don't there's wayvnc

Shyzus•2mo ago

Time for experimentation it is. It would surely help with any GUI development that needs testing on wayland.

Phorcys•2mo ago

let me know how this goes! hey @Shyzus, any luck?

Shyzus•2mo ago
