Remote Linux Display via Sunshine and Deskflow

I keep a laptop plugged into my server rack. From my desktop a room away, I dedicate one of my three monitors to that laptop's display. The Linux environment stays up and reachable without walking to the rack, and it's become a real part of my daily workflow.

Three tools make this work: Deskflow for keyboard and mouse, Sunshine to stream the display from the laptop, and Moonlight to receive it on the desktop. Deskflow handles input; Sunshine and Moonlight handle video. Keep those roles separate and it works well.

	#!/bin/bash
	set -ex

	# nix-shell -p git-filter-repo moreutils gh

	SOURCE_PROVIDER=$1
	GH_REPO_OWNER=justmiles

	git clone git@github.com:cloudquery/cloudquery.git "cq-source-${SOURCE_PROVIDER}"


	job "openclaw" {
	datacenters = ["dc1"]
	type = "service"

	group "openclaw" {
	count = 1
	network {
	port "http" {
	to = 18789
