  • Tested, triaged it and re-wrote the guide to add it in there, please take a look and tell me what you think, missed me convenience options or something? I'd love to know, thanks for your contribution!

    How to Set-Up a Containerized Virtual Desktop for Remote Usage with SSH and Podman; No root Required

  • Not in Docker, but in Podman, it uses all the same syntax so it should be completely possible, with the same caveats as listed in the post using this method (x11 running on a Wayland Compositor through Xwayland)

    I believe it warrants another post as it requires quite a bit of set-up, although it should be completely scriptable, still rough around the edges but the fact that podman is daemon-less makes it possible to use both on demand and without root as well

  • I'm having a hard time understanding your comment, do you mean your goal is to have a light client on the Local Machine and a dependable (sturdy/not crashing) Server on the Remote Machine? If so this isn't quite it

    Besides the SSH server, all components used initialize on demand and there is no other responsible for stability than the SSH Daemon, so that's for you to judge, other components may error or crash at their own leisure, just like the applications you would execute within them may

    I have only heard of Moonlight and Sunshine, you should totally check them out, using them was also a consideration before I managed to do what I posted here, with this "much" configuration and for my case it is completely dependable with no admin intervention

  • I have wrote up another comment in more detail of this, but to briefly summarize there isn't any outrageous latency that isn't present on other remote control applications (Xrdp for example)

    I'm not well versed into Gstreamer, in my mind it is a new ffmpeg and in fact, ffmpeg is what waypipe uses for it's video backend, so perhaps it's also possible to extend the waypipe code to add a bitrate switch on the ffmpeg calls, though there's nothing of that right now, would be a nice suggestion to the project

  • There's actually some issues with games that make the Mouse Cursor stick to the center and turn the camera with movement (like most FPS do) which also happened on Windows to me, the Mouse has like x10 the sensitivity and is hardly controllable, other games that don't do that (like point and click games where the Cursor is free) don't present this issue

    Besides that, I have played mostly keyboard centric games, a fighting-game style MMO that I have engaged in both PvE and PvP Gameplay and besides the bullshit moments in PvP where the Wi-fi turned on me, I really can't complain of performance, haven't played Souls games OR games using a joystick controller, it's probably something that needs testing

    If you mean the compression that waypipe offers with -c, I used for the longest time "-c none" thinking it would free my CPU of all overhead possible, that's probably the right play on a local network environment but I have since some time ago rid of that to see and I again don't notice a difference, so if you plan to go out and connect back through a private LAN like Tailscale you may want to keep it on the default compression algorithm

    Jump

  • Right, so as I mentioned in the post, hardware accelerated encoding for waypipe greatly increases performance and that's the one thing I can tell you makes the night and day of this setup

    In my experience, my two devices are low-end on my local network, one of them 10 years old (The Local PC) on Ethernet and the other (The "Remote" PC) is in 5G Wi-fi, audio is 1:1 I can barely tell if there's delay, except when it stutters due to the Wi-fi being wi-fi, for video it's clearly compressed with h264 so colors are a bit off but otherwise it doesn't struggle either, latency and responsiveness feel right, like I mentioned in the post WINE Games is my use case for this, and playing Games has a high bar for that, maybe at some point my processor gets jacked to 100% due to the games and it struggles but it has never crashed, and it recovers once intensity tones down

    Compared to other systems, I have only used Xrdp and Microsoft's RDP on Windows; and I don't feel any different besides the lack of additional features like drag and drop between devices that aren't a dealbreaker for me

  • The title kinda reads like a question, so you're not wrong thinking I'm doing so, however that's more oriented for like search engines to pick up this post, as often users would type straight up looking for help on something, that's the idea of that, but in the first paragraph I explain that this is not a question post

  • Right, I didn't pick up on that m/multicast DNS difference, I thought I was talking about the same thing, thanks for clarification

    Sounds like I do have options here, so while I wait for my ISP to comply, I'll also try out Avahi then

  • [Help] Advertise Hostname IP for 2 different Interfaces (LAN and Tailscale)

    Jump

  • I think I understand why Avahi wouldn't work with that explanation, I keep digging and now my router is not exactly inaccessible, it's managed by my ISP instead which is annoying but I supposedly can still ask them to tweak things for me so I may have a chance

    Tailscale already has DNS servers working on Tailnets (they call it mDNS, or magicDNS) which is I believe 100.100.100.100... actually, the documentation states that every tailscale-running device is a DNS server on itself too but either way that IP is private on every tailnet, remains accessible and host names are configurable on the Tailnet too

    If I'm not mistaken on the functioning of DNS, I should be able to do it with that primary-router secondary-tailscale DNS setup I hypothesized and on LAN that will yield perfect connectivity, while out from home there would be no such records and it'll fall back to Tailscale's DNS which is already private (worst concern is just sending a request for a hostname on public network but that shouldn't be that big of a deal)

    At this point I might have this solved, but of course, more input is nice too, It'll take some time for my ISP to work for me on this

  • [Help] Advertise Hostname IP for 2 different Interfaces (LAN and Tailscale)

    Jump

  • I'm a bit conflicted with your answer, I suppose for a DNS server my best go-to should be my router, but I don't have access to it, next option would be DNS servers on each device and make localhost the primary server, then my router the secondary? Assuming that's the case I think that would break when I take a device off the local network as outside it would still assume things work like in the LAN. I could see it working if I had access to my router and primary server was DHCP provided (in LAN that would be my router with it's DNS configured to point to my devices with hostnames, outside it wouldn't have any and use the secondary) and secondary Tailscale's (which supports mDNS so with the same names it would hit my device's IPs from the tailnet) but I don't think I can get that router access...

    Unless I misunderstood something of the solution, if so can I ask for clarification?
