Run a full linux desktop in a container

In the following gist I'm going to guide you through the process of installing and booting an entire linux distribution with full desktop environment just like you would have with a classical VM, but with much better performance and much worse isolation :)

The reason why I did this was mainly because it's cool, but also to test new distros with decent graphics performance without actually booting them on my PC.

If you "try this at home" just keep in mind a container is not as secure as a VM, and some of the option we're going to explore will weaken container isolation from "a bit risky" to "totally unsafe" depending on what you choose.

Also, we're going to use systemd-nspawn for containers as it's probably the best fit for our use case and can also boot any linux partition without needing to prepare an apposite container image.

Less go!

How to setup Ngrok with a self-signed SSL cert

Intro

The plan is to create a pair of executables (ngrok and ngrokd) that are connected with a self-signed SSL cert. Since the client and server executables are paired, you won't be able to use any other ngrok to connect to this ngrokd, and vice versa.

DNS

Add two DNS records: one for the base domain and one for the wildcard domain. For example, if your base domain is domain.com, you'll need a record for that and for *.domain.com.

Two way iframe communication

The main difference between the two pages is the method of sending messages. Recieving messages is the same in both.
