we haven't used gitpot for this yet, have you made it work?
Yes, I've recently set up Webstudio on Gitpod.
i am concerned with the amount of configuration we would need to maintain to keep it alive, while we are internally not using gitpod, I need to see some kind of demo for what it would take to support it
gitpod costs $0.36 / h which doesn't seem much, but I am assuming this is per active running workspace, which will be automatically killed after 24h if not done manually, assuming just a minimum of 1 workspace per hour, but I am sure I would have 5 of them running in parallel, just with one its over $200/m
So we are not going to use that to work internally at all, the only reason for this to be used is if an external contributor has their own github account and pays for it and it makes it simpler to get started.
I agree that this can be valuable, but I need to see if its robust for us, as I don't want to be fixing gitpod every month
but at the moment we are not looking to change our internal process, if anything I would do it for ease of contribution and choose the best tool and if there is a free one - then this is a better choice
Actually, we don't have to pay anything to Gitpod. We use Gitpod for a quick setup of Webstudio with just a click.
We just need to add a simple .gitpod.yml file with the command.
Gitpod usually gives 500 free credits monthly to users. So, it depends on the user whether they want to upgrade their plan.
An example of .gitpod.yml -
Sure, the question is why should we advertise gitpod vs code sandbox for eg
seems like this is not a config that would work for webstudio, its from some other project
Yeah it's from other project. I just give an example of .gitpod.yml file.
@Ivan Starkov wdyt, should we investigate whats the best tool for this? also maybe @jkrishna has done this research since he worked at codesandbox
I personally prefer codesandbox more, yeah it's given i worked there so a little biased too 😅 . But spinning up the vm from idle state and the rates are much better. And mostly users don't need to maintain any specific configurations for projects to work inside codesandbox. Sometimes maybe a single Dockerfile is also fine 👍
codesandbox supports docker and any database or native tool in it?
I just learned that gitpod is actually open source !
