Thanks for your comment.

There is only one user, tux, which is uid 1002 and tux does not exist in the host's /etc/passwd.

The users do not have root access in the containers.

Cgroups is used to impose limits on RAM, number of processes, visible CPUs, etc.

I made this site in evenings and weekends, and have put it up for the public to use. I want find out sooner, rather than later, if the whole idea is flawed.

Thanks and sorry, not yet. Email features@tux.io if you want this to be considered for the road-map.

http://tux.io is back online now, after extended defensive development.

Thanks for taking the time to try this.

I'm sorry you're experiencing difficulties. Could you let me know the operating system and version which you are using?

What do the "#\" symbols in your report mean?

Try going to https://ca0.tux.io if the European site is too busy due to this ShowHN.

Sorry for posting twice in a week, but I had to take the site down half-way through the first ShowHN. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14044541

I have implemented some fixes and the site is up again.

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.

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.

Fixed it.

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?

Sorry, just live debugging a crash on de0.tux.io...

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.
