☁️ Cloud Desktop Environment

My daily driver on the desktop and in the cloud.

Running on the Desktop

The only dependency required is Docker.

To run on Linux, clone the repository and start the environment.

# Clone desktop environment
git clone https://github.com/sabrehagen/desktop-environment

# Start desktop environment
./desktop-environment/docker/scripts/recycle.sh

Running in the Cloud

• Fork this repository.
• Add your ngrok auth token to the repository secrets as NGROK_AUTH_TOKEN to enable web access.
• Enable read and write permissions on your fork to allow GitHub Actions to push to your repository's container registry.
• Run the Deploy Desktop Environment GitHub Actions workflow to deploy the desktop environment to GitHub's Actions infrastructure.
• Click the Cloud Desktop Environment URL printed in the output of the Get URL workflow step.

Fork the cloud-computer/cloud-computer repository to deploy the desktop environment to Google Cloud.

Project Goals

• A computer wholly defined in code.
• From zero to production in one command.
