Webtop - Anything can be done to improve performance?

[thefunkygibbon]

Coming from KASM, where it ran 100% fine.
I'm experiencing severe lag on Webtop, which makes it next to unusable.
Is there anything which I can do to improve the situation? any tweaks?

FWIW its running on docker on my 32core 128gb ram server, not experiencing performance issues or high usage with any other containers

Please provide details first of deployment details and if you've tried anything first then we can give suggestions.

what do you need to know? It is installed with the recommended compose settings, on docker (latest) on a bridge network with swag in front of it and is being accessed via the SWAG https url.

Let me know exactly what else you need to know. happy to provide more info.

my current settings , its usable like this, but it looks like ass.

show us the compose, the output of uname -mr && docker version
is it a custom bridge or the default bridge? (if it's deployed with actual docker compose, it'll be a custom bridge)

under screen settings, turn off hidpi and see if that helps, hidpi in selkies is usually for gaming

That is unfortunate that it does not work for you, as it looks like ass I would highly recommend just using what works for you. Kasm provides images that can be run stand alone.

sorry, i meant it looked bad because the only way i can get it to stream the contents of the desktop environment in any usable latency is to decrease the quality which obviously makes it look terrible with ghosting and artifacts.
I'm running on home gigabit LAN and can happily copy files to and from my server with hundreds of MB/S with still sub 15ms latency.

I was merely wondering if there was any specific tweaks i can make to the container to make it run ok or at least as good as kasm does. I can't imagine (from the lack of other people talking about it) that anyone else is experiencing such performance. maybe other people have their GPU doing the heavy lifting? (i'm using a rack server with only the normal intel bog standard onboard gpu)

The reason i moved from kasm in the first place is that you guys decided to move away from it and over to this. also i was getting a bit sick and tired of the whole updates seeming to break everything and force me to fresh re-install every time.
I had/have high hopes for webtop.

you need to provide the info i requested above and try turning off hidpi under screen settings and see how it is.

[thefunkygibbon]

yeah sorry, i was going to. i change the encoding to jpeg and also turned hidpi off and it seems to be a decent amount better. will keep testing, not had much time to play with it today.

[wouldntyouknow]

I'd give the gpu a try for sure. Also using intel igpu. Cpu encoding is already super efficient though but maybe shifting this load helps. Also it would be helpful to undestand your environment, like is it a docker vm on proxmox etc and ofc the compose info
