Proposal: Add support for defining environments from user's homedir #26

Open fgrehm opened 9 years ago

fgrehm commented 9 years ago

Similar in spirit to GH-15, the idea would be to look for named environments under user's envy homedir repo (from GH-14) so we can have things like a simple Ruby / Go / PHP / ... environment for "random hackings" without the need to have a personal GitHub project for each one of them.

Thoughts?

Shouldn't your title be different?

Let me think about this one.

Renamed the issue, hopefully its clear now!

This would only happen when your user is created?

My idea was to check if there is a /envy/users/$USER/home/$ENVIRON/Dockerfile in place and use that to create the base image as a fallback to a missing USER/ENVIRON repo on github. That Dockerfile would be manually created or come from the user's envy.home repo on github (cloned when the user is created / manually git pulled as needed)

Does that make sense?

Ah, interesting. Cool.
