neko
Self-hosted virtual browser and screen share room for remote collaboration
Overview
neko is a self-hosted application that runs a full browser or desktop environment inside a Docker container and streams it to multiple participants in real time via WebRTC. It is designed for collaborative browsing, watch parties, and remote pair programming where everyone sees and can interact with the same screen. Access control and room management are handled through a simple web interface.
Where it falls short of Discord
- Primarily a screen-sharing tool; lacks persistent text chat or channels
- WebRTC requires open UDP ports, complicating setups behind strict firewalls
- No persistent user accounts or roles beyond admin/participant
We list the gaps honestly so you can decide if the trade-off is worth owning your data.
