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 in a rural area without much funding. They would likely take issue with me adding complexity to their already overworked schedule.

Anyway, I'd rather ask forgiveness than for permission in most instances like these.

    Please ask for your department's help before setting up rogue hypervisors on your school's network. Depending on network security, you might not get far anyway.
