So I have been contemplating virtualizing my day to day and running it on my host with the thought I could upload it to a cloud for various reasons. Thing is I would like to use a virtual machine but I want something that could be moved anywhere without any modification. So I sorta feel I would have to go with a container but again I sorta prefer a standar vm. Im just looking for peoples thoughts.
Its just an idea I had. To virtualize my general computing environment for day to day that does not need a lot of resources generally. So the idea is it would be great to run it on my laptop but like move it to a cloud provider when traveling and travel with a laptop that has nothing personal and then interacting remotely. So a combo of easy change of hardware combined with travel without personal info.
What about containers with desktop, e.g. https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-firefox/ or another from https://www.linuxserver.io/our-images (based on Guacamole https://guacamole.apache.org/ AFAICT) with a mounted WebDAV (via e.g. NextCloud) for data?
this looks sorta nice and im checking it out.
Neat, let me know if you have questions or idea.
I did set these up a little while ago but I don’t have an on-going setting so I’d be happy to help and curious to see if something new can come out of those ideas.
