From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

From my other comment:

Then I created a Docker image with Linux, Gnome, and novnc so I can spin one up instantly with little resource overhead and control it from any web browser.

Maybe I should release my Dockerfile.

I might actually be interested. It's like a lightweight alternative to Proxmox?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Sort of, Proxmox does use noVNC I think, but it's a lot of overhead. This is just a docker command. I've finally put a page up for it: https://nowsci.com/webbian/

I didn't understand that you ran it without hardware virtualization. This is really convenient, thanks a lot for making it!

I'm just now learning about Docker and Containerfiles, so I wouldn't be opposed to a real world example...

And the example finally exists: https://nowsci.com/webbian/
