Dispatch is a tool for managing the web-based application in Chrome. Here's how to install Dispatch on Elementary OS:
Before installing Dispatch, we need to make sure that our system is up to date. To do so, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
There are some dependencies that Dispatch requires to run correctly. Run the following command to install them:
sudo apt-get install git python python-pip npm golang
We need to install Google Chrome and Chromedriver to use Dispatch. If you already have them installed on your system, you can skip this step.
To install Chrome on your system, run the following command:
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
To install Chromedriver, run the following command:
sudo npm install chromedriver
Next, we need to clone the Dispatch repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/khlieng/dispatch.git
After cloning the repository, navigate to the Dispatch directory and run the following command:
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
To run Dispatch, navigate to the Dispatch directory and run the following command:
./dispatch.py
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Dispatch on your Elementary OS system. You can now manage your web-based applications in Google Chrome using Dispatch.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
