  Web-accessible Emacs? What are you using?

    You can use the Linuxserver.io VSCodium Image and replace VSCodium with Emacs in the Dockerfile.

      Huh, what?

      I see in your link that that image has support for KasmVNC, which is great and you could use to make Emacs work…

      But the whole point of VS Code is that it can run in a browser and not use a remote desktop solution- which is always going to be a worse experience than a locally-rendered UI.

      I kinda expect someone to package Emacs with a JS terminal, or with a browser-friendly frontend, but I’m always very surprised that this does not exist. (It would be pretty cool to have a Git forge that can spawn an Emacs with my configuration on a browser to edit a repository.)

        Exactly, since KasmVNC can run GUI programs in the terminal and the Linux server.io base image is just Debian. It is was trivial to just run it with Emacs instead. I much prefer Emacs over VS Code because of Org Mode. While VS Code works well in a browser. It isn’t what I wanted.

        Here is where I have posted my Emacs Dockerfile. It might be a little out of date. Emacs Docker

  I don’t often need to mess with PDFs but man StirlingPDF is just fantastic on the odd occasion that I do.

    PyLoad isn’t a container I run 24/7 because the use cases are a bit limited. Basically, if I have a large list of files that I want to pass to my NAS (perhaps a list from something like DownThemAll) that won’t complete in a short sitting, I will pass that list to PyLoad so it can just run the background.

    I once downloaded about 2,000 or so office files and tools like this have let me do that automatically.
