    I have a wired device sending HTTP POST updates very regularly (often more than one per second) and if I watch those arrive, they appear almost instantaneous. If the sending device used IP (or, more likely, had cached the lookup) I guess that would be fast too.

    Good point about the MQTT persistence, cheers.













  • I want my server to host a desktop that I can use remotely. Not for managing the server itself; like you describe, I use common tools for managing it.

    I just need a desktop for a while - sometimes I want to work on a machine that’s not the one I’m physically using. At the moment I simply have an old desktop running Windows; I VPN to home and RDP to to the machine which works very well, but it seems a waste to have a machine running for this purpose only. I could add the machine to the swarm if I could host a desktop in Docker but that’s not really the intent of Docker and doesn’t yield great results.



  • This is not to manage or work on the server, I use terminal and web-based UIs for all of that.

    This to host a desktop I can use remotely. Sometimes using my local desktop isn’t what I want to do; I might be running a lower power machine, or want to do something I can’t on the machine I’m actually using. Or I might want to use a remote Linux desktop from a Windows machine. Sometimes the other way around.
