Workspaces

Stardust Workspaces are the base of a session. They are Docker images with a base OS, such as Debian installed, with a VNC server, PulseAudio TCP server, and a lightweight file server.

Structure

The container has a user named stardust with no set password. These folders exist:

• /home/stardust - The home directory of the stardust user.
• /home/stardust/Downloads - The downloads of the stardust user.
• /home/stardust/Uploads - The uploads of the stardust user.

VNC Server

The VNC server is used to display the desktop of the workspace. Stardust's stock images use TigerVNC, as it has the best support for noVNC, which is used in Stardust.

It runs on port 5901.

PulseAudio TCP Server

The PulseAudio TCP server is used to stream audio from the workspace to the client. It is using a modified C server from here.

Source code: spaceness/stardust#main/workspaces/scripts/tcpulse.c

It runs on port 4713.

File Server

The file server is used to transfer files between the workspace and the client. It is a lightweight NodeJS server.

Source code: spaceness/stardust#main/workspaces/scripts/files.mjs

It runs on port 6080.
