I keep my editor and development tools on my ARM Mac, but let a Linux ARM machine run Docker. Databases and several services can eat up memory and storage, so I moved the containers, images, and volumes to the other machine.
I wanted a free way to control my PC remotely, without session limits or a complicated setup. I already had Apollo installed on the Windows machine, so I built around that instead of adding another remote desktop service. The result is Moonlight Desktop MCP: a bridge that lets an AI assistant see the desktop and use the mouse and keyboard.
