I made a thing. QuickBox – Access a contained Linux environment in one click

2 points by eightlimbed ↗ HN
Hi HN I want to share a project I've been working on called QuickBox. It's a web app that lets you access a Linux environment in one-click. Check it out here:

I built this because I wanted a fast and easy way to spin up an Ubuntu box to test some scripts without affecting my machine. I also wanted to show my friends (who don't use Linux) what Linux is like without them having to install it (or Docker or a VM). I wrote it mostly with Go and Javascript using the Docker Engine to do all heavy-lifting. I'd appreciate any constructive feedback. Also, I am currently looking for job opportunities in the Bay Area. Feel free to check out my GitHub to see some more of my work (https://github.com/eightlimbed), and I'm happy to send you my resume. Thanks!

It seems to be throwing a 503 error when trying to create a container.
