[CWB] InABox

[Hardie, Andrew]

Yeah, the whole idea of the InABox is to be usable by people who don't know how to Linux. VirtualBox, for all its limits, has a UI with the least scary number of inexplicable buttons...

Re: "For a new in-a-box, why don’t you consider one of the minimal Linux distros then - like Lubuntu or Mint?"

A barebones Debian install, with LXDE on top, cannot be bigger and might be smaller; plus with any Ubuntu derivative I fear the upgrade pain.

But they only work in Linux, where CQPwebInABox seems to be needed the least … and on Linux, there are better alternatives such as Singularity, I'm told.

Best,
Stefan (who is clearly not a Docker fan)
