Hosting virtualbox for my students (lemmy.world)

I am looking for a solution for my students who all have Chromebooks (which are locked down).

Their opportunities will be greatly expanded if they had access to Windows-based software (Blender, Unreal Engine, 3D slicing software, etc.,).

I have access to a couple desktop machines that I could host virtual boxes on if there was some way for them to remote into them through a web browser.

Is that something that is possible, and where would I get the information to get started hosting something like that?

If not, are there any alternative solutions that do not require a paid subscription?

I'm vegan, so I've had it before...Oh, the software! Looks exactly like what I need (even though it might be out of my league to set up)

Docker is your friend. :)

It'll all be alien to you, But a couple of lines later and it will all just work. Guak is your best option, It supports everything
