Why does this need to play in a web browser? Is there no way to route kube containers to a display device? I saw "a digitalocean account and API token" and nea

  > Is there no way to route kube containers to a display device? There's no problem with running a virtual frame buffer in a container and using either something like VNC or X remoting to access its display output. However, accessing it via a web browser, i.e. HTTP, gives you built-in mechanisms for routing incoming requests to a container based on the url, so it might be a bit more convenient to set up.

    Afaik standard graphics on cloud hw is not that easy to get today unless you pay for ML instances. However, local hw have better leverage probably.

      That's what the virtual frame buffer I mentioned is for. There's no problem running e.g. web browsers in containers on Kubernetes, and accessing their GUI via VNC. That's what testing systems like Selenium Grid do. However, this example does depend on how much graphics power Quake III needs. Since it was released 21 years ago, I was assuming it doesn't really need a GPU. If CPU-only graphics is enough, it should work fine.
