Sorry, I should have been more specific. I want to run a desktop Java |
19 |
8 app remotely. After more consideration I don't want to run it |
20 |
locally because I want it to run all the time. I have 2 ideas for |
21 |
this: |
22 |
|
23 |
1. set up a Gentoo install in a cloud VM, install the desktop app, |
24 |
install VNC or similar |
25 |
2. leverage a Platform as a service (PaaS) somehow |
26 |
|
27 |
#1 should work but I'd rather not set up and maintain an OS instance |
28 |
just for this. Would VNC be the best way to get remote access to the |
29 |
desktop app's GUI? I don't need extremely high performance but |
30 |
security and ease of setup/maintenance are important. |
31 |
|
32 |
#2 is very appealing because it means I wouldn't have to set up and |
33 |
maintain an OS, but I don't have any experience with PaaS and maybe it |
34 |
isn't the right tool for this. Does there exist a PaaS that provides |
35 |
a Java environment for me to install a desktop Java app and then give |
36 |
me remote control of its GUI? |
