X11? #835

Open inzel opened 4 years ago

inzel commented 4 years ago

Just trying to figure out if x11 works with this app and how to use it if so.

Thanks!

goerz commented 4 years ago

Blink does not support X11. You might consider a VNC app, as an alternative

Is it something that is being looked at for the future?

I'm using Blink on iPadOS, can you add ssh -X support? Thanks!

broander commented 3 years ago

I think it would be really cool if you support ssh -X and built in a very light x server so we could render x windows on IOS. No one else seems to have that, and it would open up the ability to basically use blink to run linux desktop on an ipad=) I can do it now with a VNC or RDC app, but why not be able to use blink to do everything I need?

I haven't tried it, but Mocha promises to provide the X Server. Their SSH implementation looks pretty sad though. Perhaps there's a chance here for cooperation?

timlod commented 3 years ago

I would also appreciate this feature! Mocha doesn't allow for authentication through ssh keys (password only) which makes it a non-starter for my particular setup.
