n.eko (Neko)

Neko is a self-hosted virtual browser and shared desktop environment streamed to users over WebRTC. It typically runs inside Docker, letting you access a full browser (or other Linux apps/desktops) remotely with low latency and synchronized audio.

Key Features

• WebRTC-based ultra low-latency video streaming with audio
• Multi-participant rooms with shared control and host-controlled permissions
• Runs browsers or other Linux applications/desktops inside a containerized environment
• Persistent sessions for long-running work, monitoring, downloads, or uploads
• Ephemeral “throwaway” sessions to reduce local traces and isolate risk
• API-driven room provisioning when paired with external room managers
• Optional live broadcasting via RTMP for streaming room output

Use Cases

• Watch parties and synchronized media playback with shared control
• Interactive presentations, remote teaching, and collaborative debugging
• Secure “jump host” access to internal web tools without exposing client-side data

Limitations and Considerations

• Interactive performance depends on network quality and WebRTC compatibility
• Running full desktops/browsers in containers can be resource-intensive (CPU/RAM)

Neko is well-suited for teams and individuals who want a fast, shareable remote browser or desktop session with real-time interactivity. It combines container isolation with WebRTC streaming to enable collaborative browsing and remote workflows.
