Self Host Windows .exe and Push to Web App (alien.top)

Hi all! Got a question, explained kinda in the title.

I have a Windows application that I’m interested in running on a LXC on my Proxmox server, and I’d like to be able to connect to it via a browser from any of my home machines just like I would my other self hosted applications.

I’m pretty technically minded and don’t mind doing some coding, just never done something like this before so I’m not sure where to start. Would love some pointers in the right direction! Thanks in advance.

From the repo description: https://github.com/solarkennedy/wine-x11-novnc-docker

Ever wanted to containerize your wine applications and access them via a web browser? No? Neither did I!

This container runs:

Xvfb - X11 in a virtual framebuffer
x11vnc - A VNC server that scrapes the above X11 server
noNVC - A HTML5 canvas vnc viewer
Fluxbox - a small window manager
Explorer.exe - to demo that it works
