We need codebox though 😦 it is so good for Docker and cloud images.

Sorry @jmchilton I just tried to get this image running and this seems to be a known problem: CodeboxIDE/codebox#517 and many more.

Codebox does not seem to be maintained anymore. Last release was one year ago and this one is not working :(
We can try to install a very old nodejs version, I will see if I can find time for this - 😢

On the bride side with these patches: https://github.com/galaxyproject/ansible-galaxy-os/pulls
This images can be build, planemo is running, just a few tweaks are needed ... and we have a new solid VM.

They sold the assets to a commercial company, but have not been maintaining it. You may want to look at some other open source projects like Eclipse Che - www.eclipse.org/che.

@bgruening It should not be your job to get an older version of node working... lets merge this as is and work toward fixing or replacing this. Che looks fascinating but it requires Docker - so it isn't really a very good solution from within Docker... maybe we should have a Docker compose recipe for configuring this and an IDE at the same time - would that work with the current Windows / Mac GUIs I wonder.

Thanks @martenson for the info.
@jmchilton sounds good. This is probably for after GCC.

Does anyone remember if we used codebox during the conference? Pretty much no right - people with VMs were using Atom I think and I didn't see anyone using Docker with Codebox?

we did advertise it and I saw few people having it up, whether they actually used it for tool dev I dunno
