Spacemaracas

  • What is this?
    • These are some scripts and Dockerfiles for building emacs as a service, running in containers, accessible via a browser or a VNC client
    • We actually run a container and run X11, so really any Linux application would work through this with minimal modification
    • Building, running, and viewing in the browser looks something like this:

  • This Isn’t What Containers Are For
    • I know but check out this gif from the mate branch and tell me this isn’t fantastic

  • Why?
    • I don’t really know
  • How?
    • Install docker.
    • Clone this repo.
    • ./maracas run if you are satisfied with the “stable” dockerhub images
    • ./maracas build to build a customized or unstable version
    • ./maracas stop to destroy the environment when you’re done
    • Visit http:/localhost:8080/guacamole in the browser or localhost:5900 with a VNC viewer (e.g. Remmina)
