WebX11

Stream any GNU/Linux GUI application directly to a web browser with low(-enough) latency and automatic window resizing.

No VNC, no special client software, no websockify - just a simple HTTP server that makes desktop applications accessible through modern web protocols.

Overview

WebX11 creates virtual X11 displays and streams them to web browsers using WebTransport (with WebSocket fallback).

Itโ€™s designed to be simple, fast, and easy to deploy, and only have dependencies you probably already have.

Youโ€™re a sysadmin and need to open a GUI application on a remote server in a whim?

Need to expose a GUI app for a lab?

WebX11 has got you!

Requirements

System Dependencies:

  • Xvfb - Virtual framebuffer X server
  • openssl (optional) - For generating TLโ€ฆ
