Brainstorming: Repo2Docker Action-> VM on GCP, AWS, Azure?

Hi

I also did a Reclaim recipe when it was in beta; notes here.

PS Also some notes in a related Reclaim discourse forum thread here.

Yes, there’s a link to that thread in the notes – it was very useful. Thanks!

The Exosphere project recently added a feature to launch Binder-compatible repositories on OpenStack virtual machines using a friendly GUI:

Under the hood we use repo2docker to build and launch a container from a repository, grab the authentication token, and create a link to access Jupyter/RStudio through an HTTPS reverse proxy.

Note: For now you have to enable ‘experimental features’ in settings to see this feature.

Let us know what you think, as well as questions and suggestions for improvement.

Background: Exosphere is an open source client for cloud computing, focused on OpenStack at the moment. It’s written in the Elm programming language, and is deployed as a single-page application (SPA). There are no server-side components (except for a couple of simple reverse proxies to work within browser security restrictions). See the repository for the full source code and information on how to get started: https://gitlab.com/exosphere/exosphere
