Mars

A framework for making your own DaaS applications like KASM

Setup

git clone https://github.com/skylvie/mars --recursive
cd mars
pnpm i
pnpm build
pnpm build:image <image> # E.g. pnpm build:image debian, pnpm build:image all
pnpm start <image> #  E.g. pnpm start debian (Backend)

Features

• Keyboard & mouse support
• Clipboard passthrough

How Can I Use This?

Mars doesn't provide you with a library or API to work with. Instead, Mars is aimed to be a base or template. You are supposed to fork Mars and add on top of it. For example you could add more images, session management, a good UI, authentication, and more!

How Do I Make My Own Images?

Mars provides the following images as demos:

• Debian Xfce4
• Chromium
• VSCode

There are two types of images you can create:

• Full desktops (Running a complete DE)
• Applications (Aimed at running a single application)
