Hi everyone

I've got a capable Ubuntu server hosting Docker, using Portainer to manage many stacks and containers. I'm about to add a couple machines to a swarm for a little fault-tolerance.

Before this, Docker was Windows hosted which gave me a useful addition; a handy remote desktop for those times when I wanted to do something remotely using a GUI at home.

https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/rdesktop seems to work OK but I wondered if the community here have any suggested alternatives. Instead of running within Docker, has anyone simply installed a GUI on the Ubuntu host?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Orb is a project I've been meaning to check out. It may meet your needs.

It's not yet in Docker, however. See the top comments from a couple months back: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/146og6f/orb_v021_has_been_released/
