## Description

SealSkin is a self-hosted platform for running desktop programs in isolated containers on your own server and streaming them to browsers, phones, and tablets. It isolates web content by opening links and files in fresh containers so nothing executes locally. Any Linux desktop application works — including web browsers, office software, development environments, graphics editors, emulators, and 3D tools — with GPU acceleration. A file manager handles uploads, downloads, and password-protected shares. Collaboration rooms enable shared sessions with chat, voice, video, and input hand-over. Authentication supports OpenID Connect, SAML, and reverse proxy headers with group-based permissions. Admins can route traffic through WireGuard or OpenVPN tunnels. Multiple servers can cluster with shared users and movable home directories. Deploy via an automated installer with Duck DNS, Docker Compose, or Kubernetes. The web UI and admin panels are served by the server itself.
