Coder outside of Raspberry Pi

[shankarmozzapp]

Is it possible to support Coder as an independent web development platform that can be installed in any PC/Mac? I rather like the way the single-file interface works and I see value in using it as a learning platform everywhere, Raspberry-Pi or not :)

I think your situation is similar to issue #14. I was wondering the same thing. I have a small ARM machine running Linux and I'd like to use it in my server too.

I think the core is just an node server so it should run everywhere where node runs.

Same as #30 See either:

Thank you Isaac, this is very helpful! (:

Thank you Isaac,

i've also forked the repo and removed the whole shell stuff form the auth app :)

I think a LiveUSB and/or VM image would be a good way to make Coder more agnostic of the RPi platform. Many educators and students probably already have access to a computer but not a RPi.

[trestoa]

Why does every student need one coder? I think the idea is that the teacher has a coder running on his computer and every student, works on this coder instance.

@kleiinnn it's just a nice way to keep things really simple, without account management, process isolation and that sort of thing. the idea is that it's really your own server. you can be responsible for it and you can play with it without a ton of consequences if you screw something up. ie. an endless for loop won't damage someone else's work.

[trestoa]

Oh ok, I understand your argument. I think getting a VirtualBox image will be pretty simple. You can try to convert the image to a vdi and run it in VirtualBox. If this does not work, you can setup your own linux with the coder.
