Hi all! Got a question, explained kinda in the title.
I have a Windows application that I’m interested in running on a LXC on my Proxmox server, and I’d like to be able to connect to it via a browser from any of my home machines just like I would my other self hosted applications.
I’m pretty technically minded and don’t mind doing some coding, just never done something like this before so I’m not sure where to start. Would love some pointers in the right direction! Thanks in advance.
Use a Windows VM, not a LXC.
And if that app doesnt have a web interface by itself, then you cant simply access it through a web interface.
A Windows VM would work, yes. But it’s also more taxing and overkill for running a single application and compatibility layering for Windows apps on Linux exist to allow specifically that.
Also, I understand that natively, you cannot just access an app through a web interface if it doesn’t have one. That doesn’t mean that redirecting the application GUI’s to be hosted through a web server can’t happen.
Similar to how RDP presents a graphical view of a system through a network connection, applications can be hosted and redirected. I’m just asking if someone already has a set up like this so that I can get a start on mine.
