Full-fledged Cloud IDE from Pinemango Cloud Desktop directly from browser.<p>http://pinemango.com/share.php?r=66a5813d

product seems awesome (vncserver -> backend -> websockets -> user?) -- I also really like the flattened (?) browser icons! Did you make them?

Thanks!

But icons we didn't make, we found from icon libraries ;)

share.php?r=66a5813d my session.

I wasn't paying attention and clicked the Play button and thought I was about to see a presentation. Imagine my surprise as a professional *nix systems admin as I was presented with a root terminal open on a gnome session. I didn't realize how new the posting was and I was caught off guard and flabbergasted.

With the haste of a thief I moused over to the terminal and ran curl icanhazip.com to get the external IP. As I was thinking to myself, "This must be someone's fuck up", I started a basic port scan on the external ip from a another workstation. Seeing it was running, and back on the pinemango.com vm I telnetted to a port in the low 5000s I figured was vnc, then the session crapped out. Right, I've seen it do that before (whoops).

Cool idea, I've inferred some of the stack from my side of things. I'd love to know your thoughts or war stories about managing the systems.

Why an old school version of Ubuntu, just wondering? Would you like help scripting/pairing down the user session?

Hi, thanks for the interesting comments on the system details! It's up to the owners of the desktops on how they would like their desktops be shared but just leave the provisioning and initiating of the desktop access to Pinemango.

The focus of Pinemango's service is on the desktop apps that can be served directly from the browser. In that sense we used a basic version of Ubuntu.

Would definitely love on getting whatever help we can get!
