Linux desktop, inside of a container, inside of a browser??? Yes. A Webtop.

Have you ever thought about running a Linux desktop inside of a container? Me neither until I found this awesome project from LinuxServer called Webtops. A webtop is a technology stack that allows you to run Ubuntu or Alpine Linux within a container that is fully accessible from a browser. This allows you to use most Linux features with a container with a fraction of the cost of resources. Join me as we configure one from beginning to end.
