Is this a wrapper on Wine? Or a full VM?
- d3Xt3r 1y agoIt's a full VM running via Docker. The Windows apps are presented via RDP's RemoteApps protocol via FreeRDP. There's also WinApps, which is the same thing but without the docker container, and it supports a remote VM as well: https://github.com/winapps-org/winapps https://github.com/winapps-org/winapps
- aargh_aargh 1y agoWhat's Docker for, then?
- d3Xt3r 1y agoWinBoat uses Docker (specifically the dockur/windows container) to simplify the backend setup. The Docker container hosts QEMU and all the configs to automate the whole "create a VM, configure it, install Windows, configure it etc" process.
- heavyset_go 1y agoVM management. The dockur/windows VMs will correctly shutdown, start, pause, etc when the container is started or destroyed.
