neko

This app uses WebRTC to stream a desktop inside of a docker container. Client can be found here: demodesk/neko-client.

For community edition neko with GUI and plug & play deployment visit m1k1o/neko.

m1k1o/neko vs demodesk/neko, why do we have two of them?

This project started as a fork of m1k1o/neko. But over time, development went way ahead of the original one in terms of features, updates and refactoring. The goal is to rebase m1k1o/neko repository onto this one and move all extra features (such as chat and emotes) to a standalone plugin.

  • This project is aimed to be the engine providing foundation for all applications that are streaming desktop environment using WebRTC to the browser.
  • m1k1o/neko is meant to be self-hosted replacement for rabb.it: Community edition with well-known GUI, all the social functions (such as chat and emotes) and easy deployment.

Notable differences to the m1k1o/neko are:

  • Go plugin support.
  • Multiple encoding qualities simulcast.
    • Bandwidth estimation and adaptive quality.
  • Custom screen size (with automatic sync).
  • Single cursor for host - cursor image proxying.
  • Custom cursor style/badge for participants.
  • Inactive cursors (participants that are not hosting).
  • Fallback mode and reconnection improvements:
    • Watching using screencasting.
    • Controlling using websockets.
  • Members handling:
    • Access control (view, interactivity, clipboard).
    • Posibility to add external members providers.
    • Persistent login (using cookies).
  • Drag and drop passthrough.
  • File upload passthrough (experimental).
  • Microphone passthrough.
  • Webcam passthrough (experimental).
  • Bi-directional text/html clipboard.
  • Keyboard layouts/variants.
  • Metrics and REST API.

Docs

TBD.

neko-client

Connect to demodesk/neko backend with self contained vue component.

For community edition neko with GUI and plug & play deployment visit m1k1o/neko.

Installation

Code is published to public NPM registry and GitHub npm repository.

# npm command
npm i @demodesk/neko
# yarn command
yarn add @demodesk/neko

Build

You can set keyboard provider at build time, either novnc or the default guacamole.

# by default uses guacamole keyboard
npm run build
# uses novnc keyboard
KEYBOARD=novnc npm run build

VSCode + Volar (and disable Vetur).

Type Support for .vue Imports in TS

TypeScript cannot handle type information for .vue imports by default, so we replace the tsc CLI with vue-tsc for type checking. In editors, we need Volar to make the TypeScript language service aware of .vue types.

Customize configuration

See Vite Configuration Reference.

Example

API consists of accessing Vue reactive state, calling various methods and subscribing to events. Simple usage:

<!-- import vue -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue"></script>

<!-- import neko -->
<script src="./neko.umd.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./neko.css">

<div id="app">
  <neko ref="neko" server="http://127.0.0.1:3000/api" autologin autoplay />
</div>

<script>
new Vue({
  components: { neko },
  mounted() {
    // access state
    // this.$refs.neko.state.session_id
  
    // call methods
    // this.$refs.neko.setUrl('http://127.0.0.1:3000/api')
    // this.$refs.neko.login('username', 'password')
    // this.$refs.neko.logout()
  
    // subscribe to events
    // this.$refs.neko.events.on('room.control.host', (id) => { })
  },
}).$mount('#app')
</script>
