I think I'm still struggling with this a little bit due to my lack of docker knowledge. Since I last posted I have been able to get a container running with hive to test with just so I could see how it all works and I can get queries running without issues. Now I'm curious, my overall goal with this was to setup something that students could use from anywhere (lab or home). If I build a server for them, am I essentially hosting their containers (is there any issues with hosting multiple containers using the same image)? Or am I hosting images for them to pull and run from whatever machine they are on? (trying to understand server sizing requirements which is difficult as I don't think I quite understand docker, although I've picked up some reading material since I last posted as well). I realize how newbie this makes me sound and I'm sorry if this thread was filled with newb questions but I'm making a bit of progress. Thanks again !

I currently have them using the VirtualBox sandbox option and very few people seem to be able to get the VM to work on their own without coming to me for extra help (troubleshooting 100+ laptops per semester has been time consuming and many of these folks are not technical and therefore don't have enough resources on their home machines most of the time) so I was looking for something super simple that they could connect to. I do think the docker containers sounds like the best idea. Also the sandbox VMs I have now cannot travel with them and the labs aren't open when some people need them so I need to make sure they can do homework on their own. I think the vpn and ssh is the way I will go just wanted to be sure. I appreciate your help !

If I want them to be able to access this from anywhere am I better off with cloudbreak? (or similar) or do they ssh to the container? Thanks again.

I'm going to do a bit more searching but I thought I'd start a thread just in case anybody had any tips/pointers that might be helpful for me. I am trying to provision a lab cluster environment for students to connect to. There's clearly more to consider than other server configurations and its a bit beyond my scope so I'm looking for some help 🙂 I could have potentially 50-80 students connecting to this per day. I would like to configure a virtual environment for this. I've realized I don't even know how many concurrent connections would be allowed to happen? Between semesters I would need to basically remove any data and start again from scratch for the next group of students -- is there anything I should consider with regards to that requirement? Also in the opinion of more seasoned folks, would it be better to go phys or VM ? And any suggestions on resources/mem/space I should give for either of those options? Thanks in advance,
