Hi, I just installed a new notebook server on:
https://combinat.sagemath.org:8080/ following http://wiki.sagemath.org/SageServer Thanks Jason for the great step-by-step instructions! This made me wonder: we currently are distributing a virtual machine containing a sage notebook server for private usage, mostly for the convenience of our windows users. Would it make sense to distribute another virtual machine that would be preconfigured as a public notebook server? Then, someone wanting to run such a server at a meeting, or in his lab, or in a class, could just fire the virtual machine and be basically, up to maybe some virtualbox/qemu network configuration. It should be straightforward to script the instructions on the wiki, to make the building of the virtual machine roughly automatic. Of course any long term usage of such a server would still require more tweaking, but that would be a good easy starting point. Just throwing the idea; I am not really volunteering ... Cheers, Nicolas PS: by the way the instructions to create the sage user accounts are currently broken on the wiki. I used this instead: for i in $(seq 0 9); do cp ~sageserver/.ssh/id_dsa.pub /home/sage$i/.ssh/authorized_keys; done for i in $(seq 0 9); do chmod 700 /home/sage$i/.ssh; done for i in $(seq 0 9); do chmod 600 /home/sage$i/.ssh/authorized_keys; done for i in $(seq 0 9); do chown -R sage$i:sageuser /home/sage$i/.ssh; done -- Nicolas M.
