I expected containers running inside a browser. This is a webapp to interact with containers running on a server.

Likewise. "Docker CLI from the browser" or "Docker management from the browser" would be a better description.

Indeed. A bit misleading. As this is the usual Docker but with control from your browser. Vs. Docker running inside your browser!

I have a similar project https://github.com/ihapp/intro (it's just a prototype now) and I am curious if we can join our efforts and make one project.

Sure, contact me. There are some issues / feature requests you can start working on and others I need to flesh out more.

Hey @jenandre, I'm one of the founders of CodePicnic.

This is pretty awesome! Would love to chat some time. We're thinking about open sourcing some extra stuff (since we've built our own in OSS as well) and would be greatly interested in your take on that.

Let me know if I can reach you or ping me (alvaro AT codepicnic DOT com).

Awesome work!

In addition to the codepicnic.com mentioned by the author, a similar (hosted) service is offered by terminal.com.

It's a good-looking project, but I'd be wary of exposing this publicly. Docker containers aren't meant for secure isolation.

Neat! We also have shell as part of our free tool: https://codepad.remoteinterview.io
