Kali Linux Web Desktop

A full Kali Linux XFCE desktop that runs in your browser. It is a real desktop, not just a terminal.

Deploy and Host

Deploy this template, then open the proxy service's public domain and log in with the VNC_PW value from the kali service's variables.

About Hosting

The kali service runs the Kali desktop through KasmVNC. The proxy service is the only public entry point and routes web traffic to the desktop. The home folder at /home/kasm-user is persistent and backed up daily.

Why Deploy

Get a working Kali desktop without installing anything on your own machine.

Common Use Cases

Security labs and practice
Running Kali tools from a browser
Testing in an isolated environment

Dependencies for Kali Linux Web Desktop

Two services: proxy (Caddy) and kali (kasmweb/kali-rolling-desktop)
VNC_PW must be at least 6 characters. It is generated automatically.
Only the proxy is public. Do not expose the kali service directly.
