Is it possible to run a web server on a workspace for testing? How can we connect to it from an external source? When I check using the terminal, I only see private network addresses. Can we use port forwarding or a proxy to access it?
A: Yes, you can run your web-server and make it exposed to accept connections over https. Specifically, every developer workspace comes configured to expose your web-server at port 8085 and this is proxied at relative path /dev. Both settings are configurable and can be changed. Please feel free to reach out at our discord channel so that I can provide more detailed answer there and/or walk you...

I appreciate that I can use apt to install Linux tools. If I prefer not to work in the browser, is it possible to SSH into a workspace within the Linux container?
Thank you for your interest. By design, we don't allow inbound connections other than over https.
If it is critical we can still work with you to enable SSH but would you be able to elaborate why SSH is the preference? Via a web-browser you can still get access to your workspace via shell or DOS-like managers such as midnight commander if a GUI (provided by VS Code) is not your...
1. VPS: we are not a VPS at all. Our goal is not to provide a virtual server for web hosting. Our primary goal is to help our customers to automate their routine operations they tend to take on going from one project to the next and as these operations pertain to the use of different types of software. Depending on the nature of your web-site, you can still...
Looks interesting but a bit confused with the practical uses for this.
From my understanding with the top tier, the workspace can run for 120 hours per month.
I'm a bit confused about how it would be useful to have a postgresql or rabbitmq available for 120 hours per month. I can understand from a testing perspective, but that does not seem to be the angle for this tool.
Can I schedule actions? Like for a workspace to automatically power on and perform and action, then power off e.g. once per month.
Can I upload files easily i.e. for processing?
Is there support for something like automatically stopping, until an action is triggered.
I see some things like internet banking listed as a use case, but how would that work?
I'm mostly confused about how to have ongoing automation if there is only 120 hours per month of workspace time.
A: Hello, Thank you for your interest. Let me clarify your questions one by one.
1. Workspace hour limit. When we have designed our AppSumo pricing tiers we needed to make sure that can provide pricing with a significant discount. If your scenario does not fit into any tier we have our premium Pro Plan available directly on our web-site. This plan does not have any hourly limits.
Q: Run a server in a workspace
Is it possible to run a web server on a workspace for testing? How can we connect to it from an external source? When I check using the terminal, I only see private network addresses. Can we use port forwarding or a proxy to access it?

Sometimes, I prefer to not use a browser. No big deal.
Q: Questions
Do you act as a VPS basically? if so, can user the browser and such?
What if I need to live the PC online 24/7 does that minus hours from the workspace?
