chromebook-vm's Introduction

Chromebook-VM

Initial Setup

You need a github account for this.

1. First go to https://gitpod.io and sign in with github


2. Then make a workspace with a new repo (perferably an existing one in your github account.)

Now follow the instructions below.

Open the Terminal like this:

Copy and paste this line in the terminal:

docker run --rm -d -p 3443:80 -v $PWD:/workspace:rw -e USER=username -e PASSWORD=password -e RESOLUTION=1366x650 --name ubuntu-novnc4 fredblgr/ubuntu-novnc:20.04

Like this:

Then click on "Open Window" as seen in this image

and enjoy!

For Ubuntu/Linux Beginners

First you want to install everything needed.

Copy these lines:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install neovim
sudo apt-get install terminator

That should get you a basic text editor with a better terminal setup.

Conlusion:

This VM is not perfect and can have major issues such as running a DE(Desktop Environment) but I think it's still capable of watching youtube videos and getting rid of pesky internet blocks.
