Thanks to all who are trying this, and apologies to those who cannot connect - I've written the servers to deny new connections when the load average is too high.
Sorry, just live debugging a crash on de0.tux.io...
This is really cool. Are you going to be open source the code for this ?
Thanks. I have no plans yet re: open-sourcing. I just made a thing and am asking whether it has a use. Can I ask why it is cool? Could it be useful?
The main use I see, is having a way not to carry my laptop when I travel. Which will prevent anyone from asking me to give access to my files. This would allow me to protect my privacy while traveling.
What features would you like to see added? I had been planning to delete the data from VMs which had not been used in the last 30 days, but I will reconsider this now.
Thanks to everyone who tested this. I am now shutting the servers down for a few days, while I consider the feedback I've received.
I have implemented some fixes and the site is up again.
Sadly, I'm late to the party & you've shut down access by the time I found your post here.

With regards to your question about use-cases, I've used Windows based web-VDI's in the past to run Chrome-based BTC trading bots & execute long-running operations where I wouldn't have otherwise been able to from home/office due to uptime constraints outside my control.

Also, I was unaware that it was even possible to deny new connections based on load average, until I saw you mention having done so. Sounds handy & I'll certainly be Googling to figure out how to do the same.

@christux as it seems to be down again, could you post a screenshot or so?
