Show HN: FFmpeg-over-IP – Connect to remote FFmpeg servers (github.com/steelbrain)
Connect to remote ffmpeg servers. Are you tired of unsuccessfully trying to pass your GPU through to a docker container running in a VM?

The only thing you need is Node.js installed and a shared filesystem (could be NFS, SMB, etc.) between the two machines.

The Aurga Viewer Wireless KVM (taoofmac.com)
