The next video shows how to make a MS Access database and make it into a standalone executable ACCDE image: https://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&hs=cCd&channel=fs&q=compile+ms+access+application&spell=1&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj52Iz76aPjAhVfCTQIHQThAmUQBQgrKAA&biw=1531&bih=872 http://bit.ly/30odSI7 The next video shows how the writer moves MS Access database into a Windows "Docker" container: http://stevenfollis.com/2017/10/05/access-database-windows-container/ I have not done any experimenting with creating a universal Docker container with an Access application installed as I am no longer that knowledgeable in Access applications. But I see no reason why a good Microsoft tech could not have such a container running on all their client's systems and/or spawn hundreds of copies. For proof of concept check out the following Github software example and code: https://github.com/stevenfollis/accessdb-windows-container Note: The example is slightly dated (2 years old) but the process today is probably significantly simpler given a little bit of research.

UnRaid is a Linux variant which one has no direct control over but which allows one to directly create VMs and Docker Containers. I am currently running a pair of VMs, one is Linux Mint and the Other Windows 10 Pro. I also run several docker containers, including a Plex container which I absolutely LOVE. This is a wonderful and dead simple to set up Docker container which then allows me to share my 500+ movies, 5K + songs, years of photos and home videos stored on the UnRaid server. This is absolutely the bomb! I can literally watch my movies on any of my devices from my truck at night, as well as from inside of my home, as well as allow my kids and ex able to do the same. I used Plex to cycle through childhood pictures of my son at my church where we were doing a high school graduation party. The BOMB! I am attempting to get a vpn docker running to allow me to use my own vpn out to the internet from my home as well as get into my system over my own VPN when outside of my home. It is a tad complex to set up but I am close. :) I am also trying to get a MySQL docker container running to allow me to play with MySQL from Python apps. I don't really understand the complexities of Docker but wish to get into it deeper. The objective eventually is to do all my Python, database and AI development on my Linux and Windows machines over my own VPN if outside my house, and over my local network if inside my house. AMD just released the next part of my plan which is to obtain their new and way cool 12 c / 24 t CPU or perhaps their 16 c / 32 t CPU to drop into my Unraid machine. This will provide massive compute horsepower for the various VMs and docker containers. Before I donated my NVidia GTX 1070 to my son, I was passing that through to the Linux Mint machine to try and get graphics processing working for AI development on my Linux Mint machine. Now I have to go back out and get another GPU for that purpose. The vast majority of AI stuff uses NVidia graphics cards. That said, with the new AMD graphics cards coming to market I will have to re-examine that whole thing. I'm getting there. So much to know, so little time!

There will also be a bit a delay between mouse movement and selection but of course the version is an OS that is running remotely and is only as quick as your internet bandwidth. Some distros are as little as 60K and others can be up to 4GB (Considering the size of a fully install Windows 10 distro may be 40GB in size.) Aside: The server hosting the Linux clones are using the Debian core distro and the incredible QEMU emulator and virtualizer (Xen and KVM virtual machines.): https://www.qemu.org/ For more information on emulators and virtualizers check out the following: https://www.techradar.com/news/best-virtual-machine-software Aside: It is fairly easy to run up a Windows 10 OS distro on my Ubuntu desktop.

Setting up remote access works but only tried a couple of connections to the virtual Windows 10 system. My test was running off a small 64bit Linux desktop with only 8GB of RAM...should have 16GB. There is a few ways to completely strip out all the bloatware and create a smaller image but I have not tried that yet. VirtualBox and VMware could be used but this product is definitely faster.

It runs on an AMD 2600 6c/12t with 32 gigs RAM. I can manually assign the core and the matching thread for that code. Pretty handy. With my current cpu I tend to pass in 2 cores and 4 threads. It really runs pretty well considering it is Windows 10 Pro. If I were to need more horse power I can just shut down the vm, assign more cores and bring it back up. Dito assign memory as needed. Also pretty handy. I can (and do) pass in my AMD RX580 video card to the VM as well which means native graphics. I can also pass in a mouse and keyboard so it is essentially a full blown hardware system in a VM. BTW the VM "drive" file is hosted on a 1 tb NVME SSD drive. ATM I only run Linux Mint latest version. Technically it looks very similar to the Windows VM. I don't know Linux well enough to do battle with various distros. Mint just works and so that is what I use. I have been waiting for the new Ryzen 3xxx CPUs which are with us now. I was dreaming of a 16c / 32t in this machine. The 12c / 24t is released, though not in stock. TBH now I am waiting for Intel to drop their prices to see if AMD drops theirs as well. $500 for a 12c / 24t is just too rich for my blood. My dream had the 16c / 32t at that price. OK... my fantasy had that price. But given I have been patiently waiting for the better part of a year, I suppose i can manage a few more months to see what black friday brings. ?
