Thanks, I wasn’t expecting everyone to take this so seriously, it was supposed to be funny…


Thanks for your high value contribution to this tread!


Well now it’s becoming kind of a challenge: will AWS terminate/migrate the instance at some point, or will I be forced to reboot?


It’s not internet facing and no port is opened, all it does is fire up a notification if/when something doesn’t reply.

Even in the unlikely scenario that someone gain access to it (nobody did in the last ~4 years) that means that my VPN is already compromised and I’ve got bigger problems to worry about.


Mine is in the picture: **1544 days and counting**! It's an EC2 nano instance that's used only as a monitor for a few services that are running inside my VPN. It has served me well over all these years! ---- EDIT: before everyone starts screaming about "security": It’s not internet facing and no port is opened, all it does is fire up a notification if/when something doesn’t reply.

Sounds super interesting, thanks for sharing! I’ll definitely check it out later!

Quick question: are both docker and fs based on top of ssh or are there any more requirements? For example, do you expect the docker socket to be available over the network or do you open an ssh connection and then access the docker socket from there?


Releasing Wolf: Stream virtual desktops and games running in Docker
Hello everyone! 👋 For the past year I had fun messing around with Docker containers, Moonlight/Sunshine and HW acceleration; so much so that I've ended up building a Gamestream server from scratch! The basic underlying idea is to allow the followings: - Share a single server (possibly headless but doesn't have to be) with multiple users - by creating virtual HW accelerated desktops - whilst keeping remote mouse, keyboard and controllers completely separated - with low latency It's still rough around the edges, and it needs more testing from the community; if you want to check it out, here you can [read the docs](https://games-on-whales.github.io/wolf/stable/) and here's the [Github repo](https://github.com/games-on-whales/wolf).
