Having said that, it's work. The other issue is that it's only really vital to people with tons of machines. I have a small bunch and have been using the companion and the direct connection without major issues, particularly now that tailscale is so reliable.

I have too many damn projects though.

It's short and might help people set it up on other operating systems.

So for a few years, the unofficial server was the only one that existed. At the time, I found that it froze or outright crashed occasionally, and we could never figure out why.
When the official server came out, I immediately switched to it, launched NVRA, and haven't looked back. It's been about five years and I use remote every day without a single crash.
The unofficial server might have gotten more stable now, I do know it has an easier setup process, but I've already got mine working and just haven't found a reason to try it again.

Emacs drove me up the wall and you like that sort of thing. Most admirable, you understand, I'm just lazy.

I think there is a more oficial one. I seem to remember @simon querying my choice of that one VS the official one. Answer was it was the first one that came up when I searched for one and I don't use it all that often.

I've always wanted to do this but have been a bit hesitant because I wasn't sure if it really worked and I don't have the docker knowledge and patience to debug. Does this one https://hub.docker.com/r/jmdaweb/nvda-remote-server for example, work?
