Selkies is an open-source low-latency high-performance Linux-native GPU/CPU-accelerated HTML5 remote desktop streaming platform, for self-hosting, containers, Kubernetes, or Cloud/HPC platforms, started out first by Google engineers, then open-sourced and developed by academic researchers, LinuxServer.io, and community contributors. It streams over plain WebSockets by default, with WebRTC available as an opt-in transport.
Selkies is designed for researchers studying Agentic AI, Graphical AI, Robotics, Autonomous Driving, Drug Discovery technologies, SLURM supercomputer or HPC system administrators, Jupyter, Kubernetes, Docker®, Coder infrastructure administrators, and Linux cloud gaming enthusiasts.
While designed for clustered or unprivileged containerized environments, Selkies can also be deployed in desktop computers, and any performance issue that would be problematic in cloud gaming platforms is also considered a bug.
The HTML5 client runs on Chromium, Firefox, and Safari, with two-way clipboard (text and images), low-latency zero-copy video rendering, automatic GPU selection, resilient keyboard, mouse, and gamepad input, and microphone and webcam forwarding into the session.
