About Neko

Neko runs a web browser or desktop inside a Docker container on your own server. Anyone you invite opens it from their own browser, and the picture and sound are streamed over WebRTC.

Because the browser lives on the server, several people can watch and take turns controlling the same session. That makes it suited to shared viewing, collaborative browsing or keeping browsing off your local machine. The repository includes a docker-compose file for deployment and has a large following on GitHub.

Strengths

  • Runs in Docker with a supplied compose file
  • Viewers only need a web browser
  • Shared sessions for several people at once
  • Active project with a large user base

Limitations

  • Needs a server and Docker to run
  • Streaming quality depends on server resources and bandwidth
