Re: emacs + org-mode in virtual machine/docker/...

[John Kitchin]

yes it is interactive use I am most interested in. I am exploring this as a potential option for students to use in a class. So "opening" it should look like a regular GUI emacs. Any org-files that are created would have to be persistent, and accessible so students could turn them in somehow. I don't know if this is something that can be done yet.

Thanks for the links!

I have not used any personally, but using Docker or Vagrant it
shouldn't be too hard. Quick searches on Vagrant's and Docker's public
repositories reveals there are a few emacs-based images already,
although I could not find any specific mentions to Org:

https://hub.docker.com/search?q=org-mode&type=image

Do you have interactive use in mind, or for automation?
