Step up in this motherfucker just a-swingin’ my hair.

Thanks! This looks good, took me a while to figure out the playlist and stream relationship but seems to work well.

This looks like the kind of thing I’m looking for, thanks! Am trying it out.

Thanks, nice app!

I find the VLC Android app a bit odd for audio only. There’s a lot of wasted space and I can’t see the name or metadata very clearly.

I agree it works, and I didn’t know about the shortcuts and will try that.

VLC is amazing, but it doesn’t feel like the best tool for this.

As heard on Bryan Adams, When You Love Someone.

In the 70s we had a cassette tape kids story about a wizard who lived in a mountain and kept all the winds in a box.

The story was about someone who went in and retrieved the winds.

It involved blowing up sections of passageways (the narrator talked of lighting the blue touchpaper), and the wizard woke up and chased the hero.

He had a walking stick so his steps were reproduced including that, and he was calling, “My wind! Somebody’s stolen my wind!”.

I think it was probably on the front of a magazine or something. I don’t know if it’s a traditional story or something written for that production but I thought it was brilliant at the time.

Thanks. That means I need to move all data off the hosts on to, say, a NAS - then the NAS becomes the single point of failure. Can I operate a swarm without doing that but still duplicate everything from host 1 to host 2, so host 2 could take over relatively seamlessly (apart from local DNS and moving port forwarding to nginx on the remaining host)?

Thanks. Can I use my existing, single Docker to start a new swarm, or do I have to start from scratch?

Thanks. Could I achieve a simple 2-host solution with Kubernetes though?

So you have Docker itself on a single host (with parts) and all the containers in fault tolerant storage, and the most work you’d have to do in the event of host drive failure is to re-install the OS and Docker itself?

I’ve found Summit the best for me, personally, on Android. I’ve been able to configure it closest to how I used RIF which is what I wanted.

Cool project, thanks!

I want my server to host a desktop that I can use remotely. Not for managing the server itself; like you describe, I use common tools for managing it.

I just need a desktop for a while - sometimes I want to work on a machine that’s not the one I’m physically using. At the moment I simply have an old desktop running Windows; I VPN to home and RDP to to the machine which works very well, but it seems a waste to have a machine running for this purpose only. I could add the machine to the swarm if I could host a desktop in Docker but that’s not really the intent of Docker and doesn’t yield great results.

kasm looks good, thanks - it’s definitely in the area; desktop as a service. I want something I can suspect and go back to, not sure if I can do that on kasm or not but a good tip, I’ll check it out.

This is not to manage or work on the server, I use terminal and web-based UIs for all of that.

This to host a desktop I can use remotely. Sometimes using my local desktop isn’t what I want to do; I might be running a lower power machine, or want to do something I can’t on the machine I’m actually using. Or I might want to use a remote Linux desktop from a Windows machine. Sometimes the other way around.

Yes, that’s it!

Very useful, reminds me of another browser based Linux manager I forget the name of. Not specifically what I’m trying to achieve but very handy to know, I’ll try it. Thanks.

RDP is fine but a brower stream is just as good if the performance works out, I’ll give it a look, thanks.
