About

Quicklaunch
From the quicklaunch page you can open workspace tools, such as code editor or terminal
Code Editor
Code editor is a browser-based open-source Visual Studio Code. It is fast, responsive, and full-featured. It features code highlighting, autocompletion, rendering of notebooks has a tree-based file browser, and a great number of pre-installed color themes.
You can install any extension from open-vsx.org that has hundreeds of extensions for VS Code compatible editors.
Terminal

Scheduler
Cronicle can execute on schedule scripts, jobs and tasks. It has nice UI to monitor executions and failures
Install applications
Open workspace terminal to install new applications.
Simply execute apt install with sudo.
For example, install emacs
sudo apt-get install emacs
If you want to install PHP, execute
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php8.1
Python
Python and Pip are installed. Execute python3 in terminal.
To install python packages use PIP
pip install pandas
Node.js
Use Nodeenv to create Node.js environments.
For example, open workspace terminal, create folder npmgui, and activate environment with node v.12.18.3 and npm v.6.0.0
cd /home
mkdir npmgui; cd npmgui
nodeenv --node=12.18.3 --npm=6.0.0 env
Let's install package and start node application, explicitly on port 8040
. env/bin/activate && npm i -g npm-gui
npm-gui 0.0.0.0:8040
In the Quicklaunch go to the tab 'My apps' and open app on the port 8040.
NOTE: If you close terminal, the application will stop. If you want application to keep running after workspace terminal is closed start it with "&!" at the end.
Keep services runnning
Any application started in the terminal will run as long as your terminal session is alive. If you want any application or service runing after terminal session is closed, start service with "&!" at the end of the command.
For example, to start npm-gui and keep it running after terminal is closed, run
npm-gui 0.0.0.0:8040 &!
