This has probably been asked before but I can only search so far back on Slack - has someone set up Lucee or Commandbox to work on GitHub Code Spaces for dev/client preview work? It looks like it could be useful to avoid having to start a DigitalOcean or similar servlet just for those things, but I am not a CI/server dude really (just have to be sometimes). If at all possible, I believe some repository or script as a starting point set up by any one of the pro's here would be beneficial to the adoption of Lucee in general - once people start with any of the other "1-click starting pre-prepared platforms" (React/Next etc.) I think it will be unlikely they switch over to CFML. no? What I find lacking today is something similar on GitHub/DigitalOcean etc. where a new programmer can just "go" with CFML - it's available for everything else on the planet. (EDIT: obviously for just "go" with CFML locally using CommandBox - and it is awesome and easy. But if you need to share it with a client far away, it's install work from some bare bones VPS required afaik.) Thanks for any thoughts & concrete feedback on this :-) https://docs.github.com/en/codespaces
Just realised the costs for Github Code Spaces, I guess it does not compare very favourably with a small VPS/Droplet after all.

@Jonas Eriksson Yes, Balbino at Ortus ha worked on using this for training. He doesn't seem to be in this Slack team, but you can ping him over in the box-team slack and should be able to show you the repo \

@Jonas Eriksson you can use this: https://github.com/foundeo/ubuntu-nginx-lucee

Something else worth checking into: just to preview something I was developing without needing to deploy it elsewhere, I've used Ngrok in the past and it was quick and easy. https://ngrok.com/docs/getting-started

FWIW, there is an Ngrok module for CommandBox where all you have to do is run
Copy code
server share start
and it starts up the Ngrok tunnel for you 🙂
