n.eko

This is a proof of concept project I threw together over the last few days, it's not perfect, but it looks nice. This uses web rtc to stream a desktop inside of a docker container, I made this because rabb.it went under and my internet can't handle streaming and discord keeps crashing. I just want to watch anime with my friends ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) so I started digging throughout the net and found a few kinda clones, but non of them had the virtual browser, then I found Turtus and I was able to figure out the rest.

This is by no means a fully featured clone of rabbit. The client has no concept of other peers. It has bugs, but for the most part it works. I'm not sure what the future holds for this. If I continue to use it and like it, I'll probably keep pushing updates to it. I'd be happy to accept PRs for any improvements.

Why n.eko?

I like cats (Neko is the Japanese word for cat), I'm a weeb/nerd, I own the domain n.eko.moe and I love the logo /shrug

Visit the IP address of the droplet in your browser and login, the default password is neko

Running the container:

sudo docker run -p 8080:8080 -e NEKO_PASSWORD='secret' --shm-size=1gb nurdism/neko:latest

Development

Highly recommend you use a dev container for vscode, I've included the .devcontainer I've used to develop this app. To build neko run: cd .docker && ./build
