Windows app in a browser

This container is not running Windows. It translates the Win32 app with Wine, draws it on a virtual display, then streams that display to your browser.

1. AppScratchPad.exe
2. TranslationWine (win32)
3. DisplayXvfb + x11vnc
4. BrowsernoVNC on :8080
  1. Wine maps Windows APIs (USER32, GDI, MFC) onto Linux.
  2. Xvfb is an X11 framebuffer, so no physical monitor is required.
  3. x11vnc exports that framebuffer as a VNC session.
  4. noVNC is an HTML5 VNC client, so any browser can connect.

Right-click the desktop for Notepad, Wine Explorer, winecfg, and a terminal. Use those if ScratchPad fails to start; the presentation path is still working.
