  • 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.



  • 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, you’re right! I should point out that the things I like about Summit are not exclusive to Summit!

    I also noticed Connect is showing images faster than it used to.

    It’s great to have lots of options and compare them side by side. Coming from RIF, it’s not hard to get comfortable.

    Connect, Jerboa, Voyager and Summit.

    My favourite at the moment is Summit. It preloads images so feels snappier, and has a layout option of thumbnails on the right which I prefer.

    I’d like to be able to turn off the swipe actions, my thumbs like to drift when I tap so that UX isn’t optimal for me.~~ It’s also not possible (that I’ve found) to change sort order.~~

    I flick between apps, all the above are rapidly improving!
