Remote Playground

• A remote development environment powered by Google Colab.
• Take advantage of Google Cloud servers to speed up builds, tests, compilation and more.
• Code from any device using browser or SSH.
• All intensive computations runs on Google Cloud server.
• Preserve battery life when you're on the go.
• Perform quick experiments or prototype something.

Prerequisites

• Make sure you have a google account.

Getting Started

The playground.ipynb sets up the development environment which can be accessed in the following two ways:

1. Web IDE

   1. code-server is used to provided an efficient and securely accessible Web IDE in the colab development environment.
   2. Secure HTTPs is included when exposing code-server to the internet.
   3. The URL to the Web IDE is generated during execution of the colab-notebook and can be different everytime the notebook is executed.

2. Terminal based system with SSH access

   1. The SSH connect command is generated during execution of the colab-notebook.
   2. Hostname can be different everytime the notebook is executed.

Remote Playground In Action

Code from your laptop, PC, chromebook, tablet and mobile with a consistent development environment.

Local Playground

• Setup your minimal customized local development environment.
• Preserve battery life when you're on the go.

Getting Started

There are two ways to setup the local development environment which can be accessed using a Web IDE:

• Using the install script which automates the setup process.
  1. Install scripts are included for the following platforms:
     • Debian and Windows (WSL)

       curl -fsSl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adisakshya/playground/master/local/shell/debian.sh | sh
       

     • Amazon-Linux

       curl -fsSl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adisakshya/playground/master/local/shell/amazon-linux.sh | sh
       

  2. Feel free to contribute an install script for any other platform like CentOS, MacOS, Arch Linux etc, that would setup the local development environment in a single command.
• Using Docker [make sure you have docker installed]
  1. Pull the latest docker-image of playground from dockerhub or alternatively build the docker-image from source and then use docker run command to start playground container.

     # Pull the latest playground docker-image from dockerhub
     docker pull adisakshya/playground
     
     # Build the playground docker-image
     docker build -t adisakshya/playground -f local/docker/Dockerfile .
     
     # Run playground container
     docker run \
         -u $(id -u):$(id -g) \
         -v //var/run/docker.sock://var/run/docker.sock:rw \
         -p 8001-8080:8001-8080 \
         adisakshya/playground
     

  2. Using portainer
     1. Pull the latest docker-image of portainer and playground:

     # Pull the latest portainer docker-image from dockerhub
     docker pull portainer/portainer-ce
     
     # Pull the latest playground docker-image from dockerhub
     docker pull playground
     

     2. Start portainer container, access the Web GUI on http://<DOCKER_HOST>:9000 and connect to local docker, consider following this guide for reference.
     3. Create and save a new custom application template using the docker-compose template file that can be found at local/docker/docker-compose.yml.
     4. Now anytime you need a development environment deploy the application template from portainer in just one click.
     5. The playground web IDE will be accessible on http://<DOCKER_HOST>:8080.
