These are all fair points, thank you!
Primary reason is that computers where I run it might not have shell and emacs installed in the first place, so I can't connect to a remote port.
However you got me thinking: do you know any emacsclient implementations that run purely in browser? Presumably that would be not that hard to implement and will make more sense.
Although I still think I'd not expose emacs daemon to the outside: it's basically shell, so if I was doing it, I'd dockerize it anyway.
- jjuel 7y agoDoes this require Docker on the local machine or the remote machine? If it requires it on the local this seems like a non-starter still for a lot of people. If I can't ssh from that machine what are the odds it has Docker or I can install Docker?
- karlicoss 7y agoDocker only on remote host, yep! You're right, if you can run Docker locally you've basically got root permissions anyway.
