#Cloud9Hub

##What's this? It's a simple interface for the Cloud 9 open source edition to easily create, use and manage multiple workspaces. The Cloud9 service has a shiny and awesome dashboard interface where you can manage multiple workspaces, however the open source edition is a single workspace instance of Cloud9.

As I like the possibility to easily start working on different workspaces, create or delete them, I created Cloud9Hub to do so.

##What's Cloud9? A full-blown IDE in your browser. It has a full terminal integration, can run and deploy code of different languages (e.g. Ruby, node.js, PHP) and lots more.

##Status Quo of Cloud9Hub Right now it can

• Create new workspaces
• Launch multiple workspace instances
• Kill them automatically after 15 minutes
• List available workspaces
• Delete workspaces
• Manage multiple users
• Do authentication/sessions
• Sense, that you're active and will kill your workspace after 15-20 minutes of inactivity.

right now. These are the next steps for me to build (or you make a Pull Request with the features you want).

##Installation First you will need node.js, at least v0.8.

Note, as of June, 12th 2013: Cloud9 right now breaks when you try installing it with node > 0.8.x :( **Note, this is fixed by installing mercurial

1. Install Cloud9 into some folder, say /var/awesomeness/cloud9. **Note, the cloud9 is currently hardcoded to c9. when cloning cloud9, clone to c9 dir. If this isn't done, hub will crash.
2. Then install Cloud9Hub into the parent folder above your cloud9 installation, so in my example``/var/awesomeness/cloud9hub`.
3. Copy the config.js.example file in the cloud9hub root folder to config.js and adjust the settings according to your setup. ** You will need to create a dev app on git and change the client id/secret for this to work.
4. Start Cloud9Hub with node server.

##Firewall You will need ports 3000 and 5000 to however many connections will be taking place concurrently (each session is given a different port)

##Running as a daemon If you wish to, you can run it as a daemon, so that it stays alive.

To do so, I recommend forever.
