jslinux+de_showcase?

[ghost]

Hi,

I was thinking of creating a version of JSLinux to automatically upload photos from the desktop environment.

an idea:

What do you think of this idea?

This could be a good idea, since the current way of doing it with vagrant is quite a hack.

This however looks like a completely different project, which would deserve it's own repository.

If you ever get this to work, I would gladly link to it in the readme, and lock this repository.

Hi cafehaine.

thanks!

thanks for feedback here.

• Initially, I thought of adding this code here. As an alternative to vagrant.
• My general idea would be to provide the user with various options, for example he can test this idea directly in the browser or he could use vagrant or a custom script in virtualbox.
• The advantage of offering people options is that it increases the target audience for this project.
• This project could make sense in things like distrowatch. That is, automate the images of any distro. It would be enough for someone to generate a custom iso, access the site, and the site would send a file of the visual interface or desktop environment to distrowatch automatically.
  • The only problem I see about this is the amount of memory used in the browser itself and on the user's machine.
  • Also, distrowatch has no open api.
  • ps: I don't work at distrowatch and I don't know how things work.

The problem I see with what you are describing, is that the site would need to trust the user's input to accept the screenshot (which could probably be faked easily)

I'm not sure what's the best way to do this securely, and without eating all the user's ram
