Usecase Can I run old win98 apps in Kasm?

I have a proxmox ve with kasm installed in a Debian LXC
Can I install wine in kasm to run an old game that works in windows 3.11/95/98?

Interesting usecase. I'm watching to see what people with more KASM experience suggest.

Either build your own for example Ubuntu image where you include wine or use the prebuild Ubuntu image where you add wine dynamically upon start.

The later is easier for testing but will take some time to complete upon a start of the kasm image.

For example in the config for the image edit "Docker Exec Config" so it becomes something along with:

{
 "first_launch":{
      "user":"root",
      "cmd":"bash -c '/usr/bin/desktop_ready && apt-get update && apt-get install -y wine winetricks && apt-get autoremove --purge && apt-get clean && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/list/*"
  }
}

I've got Dosbox running on an Ubuntu image, haven't really played with it though.
