Neko: An open-source tool that streams a complete virtual desktop or browser from a Docker container to any web browser via WebRTC with low latency, supporting real-time sharing and control by multiple people without the need to install any software. ******Bookmark Get up****** Source from http://Rabb.it After closure, developer m1k1o created it to synchronize watching anime with friends, with 746k+Docker downloads and 17.5k GitHub stars. **What can it do? ** -Multi person synchronized viewing party (videos, anime, YouTube, etc., audio and video synchronization+chat emoticons) -Collaborative programming debug、 Brainstorm and browse websites together -Instant interactive briefing, remote teaching/technical support -Safe Abandoned Browsing (Tor Integration, Gift Shopping, Sensitive Account Operations Leave No Trace) -Personal cross device workspace (persistent container applications/desktops) -Internal system gateway (able to securely access internal network resources without VPN) -Live streaming/recording sessions (RTMP streaming to Twitch, YouTube, or archived instructional videos) -Automated browsing task (installing Playwright/Puppeteer script in container) **What AI can be connected in series** Neko itself does not directly have built-in AI, but because it provides a complete and controllable virtual browser/desktop environment, it is very suitable as a "security sandbox" and "eye+hand" for modern AI agents: -Allow coding/research agents such as cursor, Claude Code, OpenAI o1/o3, Gemini, and Deep Research to operate real browsers in an isolated environment (to avoid local risks) -Combining Playwright and LLM to create a self-made browser agent, AI can independently click, fill out forms, search, and screenshot reports -Run open-source agent frameworks (LangChain, Auto GPT variants, etc.) in containers to enable AI to actually "view web pages and operate interfaces" rather than relying solely on APIs -Security testing AI tool: Give agents full desktop permissions but restrict them to this container, so they are not afraid of tampering with your real computer Compared to giving AI local access directly (like some fully open OpenClaw schemes), Neko provides higher isolation and controllability. **Why is it suitable for people who don't want to give their all to @ openclaw? ** Fully autonomous agents such as OpenClaw often require full control of the computer (executing instructions, reading and writing files), which carries extremely high risks; Neko only streams images, audio, and keyboard and mouse input, with all actions limited to the Docker container and not touching your local data. It is suitable for people who want to use AI to browse/operate web pages but do not want to completely let go. **Advantages** -Simple deployment, low latency, and multi person collaboration -Open source (Apache 2.0), GPU acceleration, persistent sessions -Extremely high privacy (Tor/VPN integration, disposable environment) -Can run any Linux application (not just browsers) -An open-source viewing tool to replace Hyperbeam **Disadvantages** -Need to have some knowledge of Docker/servers -Network quality directly affects smoothness -Shared control by multiple people may have security concerns (without built-in behavior monitoring) -High consumption of container resources -Some strict anti automation websites may detect anomalies **Similar options** -Kasm Workspaces: Enterprise level container streaming, free limited to 5 sessions -BrowserBox: Zero trust remote browsing isolation, suitable for embedding multiple users -Apache Guacamole: HTML5 Remote Desktop Gateway (Supports VNC/RDP) -NoVNC: Lightweight Web VNC Solution -Hyperbeam: Commercial Video Viewing Tool (Non Open Source) GitHub：https://(github.com)/m1k1o/neko Official documents: https://neko.m1k1o.net Do you want to play AI agents safely without messing up your computer?
