I am looking for a solution for my students who all have Chromebooks (which are locked down).
Their opportunities will be greatly expanded if they had access to Windows-based software (Blender, Unreal Engine, 3D slicing software, etc.,).
I have access to a couple desktop machines that I could host virtual boxes on if there was some way for them to remote into them through a web browser.
Is that something that is possible, and where would I get the information to get started hosting something like that?
If not, are there any alternative solutions that do not require a paid subscription?
Why?
There are not benefits in the cloud solution over the hosted server. It could even be more expensive on the long run…
And yes, kasm has a cloud solution in its web page
The benefit is that it way easier to manage since you don’t have to worry about physical hardware.
I get that it could easily be to expensive but it might not be bad with educational discounts.
Got it.
But looking that the question has been posted in a selfhosted thread I don’t see the recomendation of the cloud solution :)
This is honestly out of the scope of this community
Honestly I totally disagree, this community is about avoiding SaaS and controlling the important part of the stack to keep your own data under control.
If the service you need is just a provider of vm for your own business, is not a contradiction and it is still selfhosted as long as you control it.
