So at home, I have a server running a docker container with Ignition Maker Edition

When I am not at my home desk, I am using a Chromebook. I can install the Designer on it, but it is not a great experience.

I am thinking of creating another docker container, with VNC server and the Designer. VNC port would be only accessible by my Ignition container, and I would use [VNC Portal from Ignition Exchange](https://inductiveautomation.com/exchange/2725/overview) to connect to it. So I will control access with Ignition.

What are the craziest setup you have?
