The server has limited resources of 32GB RAM, so sorry if you're not getting in. The good news is that you can install it on your own hardware, it's all open source: https://github.com/termbox/termbox

Does it really have to be 777? chmod 777 /var/run/hyper.sock

Probably not, but I haven't really bothered to look into that, it should really be using HTTP instead.

Six for the captcha choices, one to submit the captcha, one to pick the server type, one to submit and get a "Server capacity reached, please try again later", and finally one to close the browser tab.

Open the page, confirm captcha, click launch - boom, you got a terminal. The planned SSH support will be similar to that - no web page, just do ssh root@ubuntu.termbox.io and you get logged in to a Ubuntu box. * We use VM based containers (hypercontain…

Server capacity reached , please try again later :) Tried the Debian instance

Same here, on CentOS 7.

What is the difference begeeen docker, a traditional VM and hypercontainer? And what are the trade off of hypercontainer?
