dperique / dev-docker-env Goto Github PK

I'm tired of logging in and clicking on it.

See if we can leverage some of my earlier work on DIB to build a qemu image we can run on a kube stack.

I bet with things running on a VM, all the issues with crashing browsers and systemd limitations will go away. Plus with a VM on a kube stack, it will be quite similar to running a development environment on a container.

The only challenge is I will need access to a kube stack.

Today, I put a script in ~/vnc.sh (either ubuntu or dperiquet user); just run that and vnc will be up.

But I wish it could startup on its own.

I tried Firefox, Chrome, and Chormium and all eventually crash after browsing around a little bit.

I'm guessing it could be a limitation of running them inside a container -- if this is the case, there's not much we can do.

The interesting part will be how to make a nodePort number that you can point a vncclient to. Vnc wants ports that start with 5900 (so x.x.x.x:1 implies 5901). Maybe there's some arithmetic algorithm the client uses so you can just make calculation and map a nodePort and then point your vnc client to that number.

When gitkraken starts up for the first time, and you want to "Login with github" via the UI, gitkraken attempts start up a browser and will fail. This happens because there is no properly configured default browser.

Do this:

• Goto Applications->Settings->PreferredApplications and set the default browser to Firefox (it should already be installed)
• Click the globe at the bottom of the screen to ensure Firefox can start
• If it doesn't stay up, fix things so that it can. Gitkraken needs that browser to allow you to authenticate.

Startup gitkraken again and it will be able to start a browser so you can login to github.

NOTE: eventually, Firefox will crash but hopefully it will be well after you successfully authenticated.
