Well, running from inside a house and making accessible from the outside is easy. But most ot my computers at home generally don’t run 24/7.

Mainly what’s needed for what we both want to be able to do isn’t really a shell account on a shared machine, but literally a dedicated VM instance, but we need to be able to access that instance through a public IP address.

On a home network, a private IP Address (192.168.x.x, 172.x.x.x ‘actually I don’t think it’s the whole 172 network’, or a 10.x.x.x) it’s easy enough to setup port forwarding to make it accessible. But on the Cloud based VM’s, I don’t know if there is a way to do it. Well, I know there ARE ways, usually involves paying for the instance, an external address, and possibly the amount of traffic.

Actually, I know Bluehost (is it still a thing?) used to  give you a VM with public address in combination with their hosting/domain name service.  But I’m hoping to find one that will not cost me anything.

I have been trying to figure out a solution for something similar to that. I want to be able to run a PDP-11 outside of my house for Fortran development. I would be running it on my Android phone.

Does anyone know if I can use the Cloud9 IDE to host a simh System emulation?

I know I’m able to build and execute it in the environment, but what I’d really like to achieve is to have a system (or several) running on various instances. And be able to connect to them from an external IP address, I believe I am able to SSH into an instance, or access it through the web based IDE.

An example might be better. Say I setup an HP system running Time-Share Basic. Would I be able to telnet to the TSB instance from various computers?

Thank you,

Joe

Geek: I think that's wrong on a fundamental level.
