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?

What you’re looking for is Promox.
I don’t think Proxmox can do VDI
Neat project but not enterprise grade
I don’t think a high school teacher trying to setup something for a couple classes on some old hand me down desktop requires enterprise grade anything, so we’re good!
Try Guacamole.
I’m vegan, so I’ve had it before…Oh, the software! Looks exactly like what I need (even though it might be out of my league to set up)
“Remote desktop” from google works good for what you’re trying to do I think
I would recommend that you bring in someone with experience instead of trying to wing it. It sounds like you are trying to bypass your IT department which is never a good idea. Talk to the people who control the Chromebooks.
What you are looking for is virtual desktop. It will cost money but it is worth it in the end. I would highly recommend that you take a look at Azure virtual desktop or related services. It is all cloud based and it is likely what you are after.
