ScreenTask (name of a program): how to make it a real *web* server of my desktop?
by dedec0 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5E49N)
Hello,
trying to find an easy way to share my desktop view (not control!) to people in other machines or phones, around the internet, i have recently discovered ScreenTask:
https://github.com/EslaMx7/ScreenTask
-> linux version: https://github.com/ahmadomar/ScreenTask
So, we get a zip file with a .jar file inside, and some more things. I execute the jar file, but i do not understand how to make it run, so i can give someone in the internet (outside of my local network) something to see my desktop?
Do i need to do forwarding in the modem connected to the computer?
I am lost here...
I tried to share my desktop with Microsoft Teams, but it does not work with who i want. It is pretty slow, sometimes, and hard to understand in several details, but it works fairly with things in my university (i use it with browser, and with android too, sometimes). Teamviewer seems bad for what i want (i installed it here, but it would be too hard what i need the other people to do to see me). I did not find other things yet - and i accept suggestions. Debian here.
Edit: in my local network, my ip is 192,168,0,7 and i wrote http://192.168.0.12:8090 in the browser, and it worked! Desktop showed in the browser. So, what i need now is to make my computer remotely accessible. Now, this thread seems much easier... maybe i will discover how to do it...
Edit 2: maybe is this? https://lifehacker.com/geek-to-live-...-a-rout-127276
Edit 3: it seems i need to make something with ifconfig in the computer, and a few things in the modem. Can you tell me a few simple steps, even without explaining it clearly - but naming each step well enough, so i can try to do it? The page in edit 2 is not good for me.
