Koding IDE

[John]

Hi Guys,

I'm having a blast with the Koding.com IDE and haven't run into any limitations yet. I was able to compile ALL the Script BASIC extension module (GFX, ODBC, MySQ, MinXML, SQLite, ...) phpMyAdmin also works great. I just ran across a post on a forum showing how to us a VNC with Koding for a GUI (remote desktop) environment. This will allow me to test IUP and GFX extensions to Script BASIC.

How to Connect a VNC Client To Your Koding VM

* Download noVNC
  git clone git://github.com/kanaka/noVNC
* Install TightVNC
  sudo apt-get install tightvncserver
* Start TightVNC
  vncserver :1
* Download Websockify
  sudo apt-get install websockify
* Start WebSockify from the noVNC Folder
  /home/YOUR_USER_NAME/noVNC/utils/websockify --web ./ 8787 localhost:5901
* Connect to your VNC Server
  Got to http://kanaka.github.io/noVNC/noVNC/vnc.html
  Host: YOUR_USER_NAME.kd.io
  Port: 8787
 Password: YOUR VNC PASSWORD
  Hit "Connect"

The Koding.com community blog has my into post as the most liked at the moment. This could be a great way to get a BASIC interest going with this group.

I have been playing around with the Koding.com site and was able to get Script BASIC compiled from scratch, running 64 bit in a console, running as a CGI program and finally multi-threaded as an application proxy server to Apache with in memory session and shared (lockable) variable access between threads.

Note: The above is running on the www.Koding.com site.

Mike,

Have tried connect to Koding using a VNC connection? I just checked and it looks like the GUI (Gtk2/3, Gnome, ...) is already installed.
