Open Cloud Web Terminal Shell

Container running a Web Terminal to a Linux Shell for development in a ☁️ Cloud.

Usage

Locally

sudo docker run --hostname=testhost -eUSER_ID=YOURUID -eUSER_PWD=YOURPWD --rm -p 8080:8080 gcr.io/vorburger/github.com/vorburger/cloudshell-debian

podman run --hostname=testhost -eUSER_ID=YOURUID -eUSER_PWD=YOURPWD --rm -p 8080:8080 gcr.io/vorburger/github.com/vorburger/cloudshell-fedora

You can now access a web-based shell on http://localhost:8080! (Login with the YOURUID & YOURPWD chosen above.)

Optional additional container environment variables

USER_SHELL can be set to /usr/bin/bash or /usr/bin/zsh instead of the default Fish shell.
GOTTY_TERM can be set to hterm instead of the default xterm
GOTTY_TITLE_FORMAT = "Cloud Shell" (or whatever HTML TITLE you like)

Features

is simple to use & run, available from a container registery
offers both Debian and Fedora containers
has regular user account (not root)
has sudo working (useful e.g. for quick package installation)
customizable by deriving your own container FROM cloudshell (this one); as e.g. in this Dockerfile

Develop

./build

Now simply run like in the Locally section above, but use only cloudshell-fedora (or cloudshell-debian) instead of pulling from the remote gcr.io/... registry.
